Interested in this because UCL just rejected me so I'm kinda looking at my 'what if' scenarios, Warwick being my 5th choice but my hatred of London is starting to win me over if the big C say no in January. Or do I want to avoid being nannied in a lovely campus like Warwick and forced to 'grow up' in London hmmm...
General league tables tend to be rubbish we all know that, so instead I guess it's about reputation so I've been investigating that, particularly for example:
http://topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2010/indicator-rankings/employer-review where Warwick does really well for itself. However not being in London probably is somewhat of a negative for employment I guess.
It's more about the way other people view it, and I don't know how famed Warwick is against the big boys like LSE, UCL, Durham, St Andrews etc. etc.
Originally I thought the history department's requirement to do a language was off-putting, but now I'm quite excited by the idea of learning French again, especially given the competition for employment after graduation. Although I'd probably want an Oxbridge MA so... who knows
Sorry for my long blah there, just very interested in the way Warwick is viewed, especially given my results far exceed the standard offer at Warwick so I don't want to lower myself as it were (that sounds so arrogant but I'm sure you get what I mean)
