Why do the inbetweeners make fun of Warwick when it's a good uni?

In the show, Will says that if worst comes to worse he'll end up at Warwick. In the movie, he says that he got into Bristol uni, so it's not like he had LSE/Oxbridge, etc. as his other 4 choices. Am I missing something? I just don't get the joke.

I think it intends to mock the kind of people who do say such things - 'oh, if I do get bad grades, I'll just have to go to a lower-ranked Russell Group university'.

For the same reason the writers chose to mock the University of Lincoln - it's up to them, and was completely a inside joke. They knew nothing about either university.

As other people said, it was just Will's snobbery. Warwick is obviously great but he feels he deserves better,.

Ironically, he ends up in Bristol which, like Warwick, is an excellent university despite not having the name and prestige of LSE/Oxbridge, which was what he was after.
