Ah! That reminds me, haircuts! Do students who live on campus have anywhere to get there hair cut? (Indeed, do they even cut their hair at all?) Or do you have to head out to Coventry/Kennilworth/Leam?

Yeah there's a salon on campus: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/retail/salon/

It's located right next to the banks in Union south.

Thanks (again)! Do they cater for just basic cuts in there? :rofl:

.. I only get my hair cut and not styled :wink:

.. And is it cheap?

I feel like I missed out so much when I came for the open day, we totally missed that area out! :woo:

.. We got taken through the bar area and that was it for the SU. Is there a santander/abbey branch on campus?

Never been myself :p:

I've been to Rio's in Earlsdon, as that was on my way there/back from my off campus house last year.

Banks on campus: Barclays, Natwest and yes, Santander.

The SU has arranged discounted rates for graduation week accomodation, you might be able to blag it for arrivals weekend as well? If not, at least here is a list of local hotels...

Santander, Natwest and Barclays, the hairdresser (there is also one 10 minutes away in Cannon Park by the big tesco) and an STA travel in the union building

What do girls normally wear for lectures? And is there any particular way in which Warwick students dress?

There's no dress code at all. Most people just dress casually, although if you want to wear something slightly dressier than that then that's fine as well.

You can even turn up in pyjamas if you really want to. Seriously, people don't care. Some make more effort than others, but that is to be expected.

September.

Final selection of modules - same time, although I'm not 100% sure how the econ department does it. For Maths, we choose modules on eMR and then they are locked in over term 1. Then there is a 2 week window in term 2 to change options, then it locks and you can't register for more modules. There is then a deregistration period at the end of term 2 and also for a few days at the start of term 3.

To be honest I don't have much idea - perhaps your best bet is to contact the Academic Office directly: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/academicoffice/congregation/faqs/contactingus

Hey, how do students dry their clothes? I guess there are driers in the launderettes, but is there another way? I'd like to avoid spoiling my clothes by putting them in a drier, so could I just hang them up to dry somewhere?

And on a slighty different subject, is it windy in Warwick/Coventry? I was just wondering since I hate wind.

Thanks for your help

It normally has to be dried in your room then - or if you have an en suite you can hang them from the shower curtain rail.

Consider getting a clothes horse: examples from IKEA, available in Coventry. I particularly recommend this one.

Wind: you're basically in the middle of the UK - the point furthest away from the coast is somewhere here. It's not as windy as being on the coast line, on the majority of days you won't notice any strong winds, probably less than 10% of days will be really windy.
