And yes, of course it's boring; It's a college/higher education institute, I doubt anyone would expect excitement from that. Also, which campus are you suggesting here? All 6?

Whichever university you're at, hanging around with RamocitoMorales there would be boring.

Life at uni is what you make it! Be positive people! And Warwick and Exeter are not BORING!

Hear hear! I would rep you for that but I've already rep-ed today and mine counts for nothing anyway..

possibly, but i have a more accurate view of the city seeing as ive lived in it for 18 years and so know thats its not boring. tbh i just think people have just jumped on the warwick bandwagon without thinking properly. there must be loads of boring unis.... places like keele, lincoln etc.

Nahh it's not - you'd be surprised at the student night life & social side for Chi and I'm not just talking on campus (either Chi or Bognor). You wouldn't choose it if you want night after night 4am finishes BUT it's far more lively than you think.

Holloway's pretty quiet but I like the slightly quieter slow pace most of the time, wherever I am.

All depends on the student in question though - not everyone goes to uni for the social and night life, funnily enough.

Depends on the individual to be honest - I know some people who love the feeling of being in a tight-knit community and have great fun having all their own little student parties, etc. For me, it's all about the city, and anywhere not in a city would be boring! For me, Oxbridge, Durham, Exeter, St. Andrews, Warwick, etc. seem quite boring - but to others they'd be amazing. Each to their own.


(And before anyone points it out, yes I know, I applied to Cambridge and St. Andrews....)

Ooo how rude I live in Chester ! Tbf the city isn't majorly interesting in terms of nightlife or anything and it doesn't take you more than a day to see everything there is too see- but the shops are OK. I don't go the uni though so can't really judge

I don't see why Warwick would be any more boring than any other campus uni - infact I'd imagine it's more interesting than most - it has a great arts centre with a cinema and theatre, a massive sports centre, and next year they'll have built probably the best student union building in the country. And I don't see what's specifically so terrible about Coventry, it doesn't have a lot of impressive landmarks or buildings but it's not a bad place to live.

There's not many people on this forum who aren't going to be biased in some way.

And of course - these threads always do degenerate into that.
