Got in with BBB? Interesting. Goes nicely with what I said.

And congratulations to you D8238 for doing so well.

Hi, prospective student here! I'm looking at accommodation. General requirements for me are 39 weeks, en suite, good social life. Unfortunately according to the website that means that I won't be in the halls anywhere near the SU :frown:

Leaves me with Sherbourne, Blue Bell (but too expensive unfortunately), Heronbank and Lakeside. Which halls would you recommend that fit the following bills and yet is social and a good mix of international/ UK students? (I'm an international student but would like to have a good time and mingle with everyone too.) Thank you! xx

Sherbourne seems to be perfect for you if money is not an issue

If you have anything to ask, shoot away!

Okay!

Did you apply to Oxbridge? Are you an Oxbridge reject? Finally, do you wish you were studying at Oxbridge?

Please elaborate.

Thank you :smile:

Hey, you said you were a Warwick Engineer!

I was just wondering how many people from departments other that Economcs/Accounting&Finance get into IB/Big 4 jobs. Is it hard to get insights/internships in finance from an engineering background at Warwick?

I understand Warwick is a target however was just wondering if it would be especially hard getting into a finance job from engineering since it isn't it's strongest department (but not its weakest either). I have applied to Engineering and Business studies and so will officially graduate with a degree from WBS taking modules in accounting, economics, law and management in my third year.

Are you thinking of going into engineering or something differrent, when I went to their open day some of the students had internships at PWC/Deloitte, and others were going into technology BO roles at places like GS/JP Morgan.

Thanks and see you next year!

If you apply for BO, you will get BO.. The course honestly doesn't matter and I can't see why Engineering (which actually makes up a decent proportion of the FO grad intake) would disadvantage you..

Mate, literally just apply to FO divisions if you want and know exactly what your division does - don't sweat the small stuff like this. Big4 is quite a simple route tbh.

Yeah but using the phrase Oxbridge reject is kinda demeaning people who didn't get into Oxbridge. Also, your question is pretty useless- nothing to do with Warwick.

It has something to do with the student.
And seeing as you like looking at my posts you should have seen how no one I have asked has taken it offensive . :smile:

Yes, yes, and Oxford is currently sitting eighth on my preferences for PhD courses (Cambridge is lower), which should answer your third question.

chem block is right next to the library so all accom, even sherbourne, is more or less equal distance :smile:

rootes if you want lively atmosphere, you just need to put in the small personal statement box the extent to which you want a party loving floor.

for lively and ensuite, you need to pick jack martin or arthur vick, both are the same level of fun from what ive seen

All of your lectures will be in central campus in chemistry, humanities, maths or the arts centre. It sounds like you'd fit in well in jack martin although they don't have a 39 week letting so as long as you're okay with moving out over easter then its perfect.

This might be a bit late I don't know but when choosing your accommodation consider location as you'll be part based on the gibbet hill site which is a trek from westwood so avoid at all costs! Even the main campus accommodation will be a fair walk so check out a campus map to help you decide.

Original post by Curioususer

Hi got an offer for a masters in biochem, anything to say about what the life sciences courses are like? Also what's your opinions on the different accommodations like how are the vibes different? Thank you!
P.s. The oxbridge reject thing made me laugh as it's so true XD

Hey, so I've put down Warwick for DM as my first choice (really wasn't a difficult decision after visiting the place).

My question is how easy is it to get a job on campus? Where is the best place to get a job? When is the best time to apply/sort out getting one?

I've looked at other posts but can't seem to find the answers to questions like this. Thanks! :smile:
