Do we have some pre-reading to do? - I am confused.


I've just found the reading list you mentioned but it sounds more like suggestions than compulsory but I don't know. I might have a look at some of them since I've never studied it before but I'm already reading two introduction books that aren't on the list so I don't know if I could handle any more :frown:

Oh, all right. I think I am definitely going to read at least one as I hardly know anything about the ancient world...but it depends on which books are also in kindle format.

It's not a necessity but it's definitely recommended. I'm pretty sure you can apply for one now as you're definitely going Warwick right? The NUS card will save you lots of money in the future.

For the enrollment process, where is the 7 digit university number you need?

Do you need an NUS+ Card for most of the events?


You will need the student card for most events.
"Your University card is your means of proving that you are a student at the University of Warwick, your library card, your ‘key’ to access some buildings on campus, and is your Students’ Union and National Union of Students (NUS) card." from here

"NUS + Guests only" means people with the NUS card can bring guests :smile:

I just bought the first one on the list cause it looks like a short general overview of the whole thing and that's what I need :smile:

Does that mean you have to pay for accommodation the day that we start?

Is it the Nus extra card that is £12 a year?

Yeah, the payment for the accommodation per term must be made from the start of each term. You can pay for the first term on the 30 of September, second term on 6th of January and the third term on the 23rd April :smile:

Does our Warwick NUS card give discounts the same as normal NUS cards? I mean, should I bother getting an NUS card when we are given one when we enroll?
Are you allowed guests at freshers events?!?!?

Yes, you have to buy two tickets and be with your guest when you arrive. They must also have ID. I can't remember where I got this info from :s

Guests can also stay overnight if you ask your accommodation guys and they allow it :smile:
Is the enrolment process opened? It said you'll receive an email that will ask you to enroll and you'll have to do it 3 or weeks before your course starts.

Don't quote me on this but I think the Warwick NUS card offers less benefits than the external NUS card. I only recently found out about the Warwick NUS card so it seems the benefits of getting an external NUS 'Extra' (I think that's what they're called) card are smaller but still present. I believe you get discounts at a wider variety of places with the external one and it's still worth it.

Enrolment to my knowledge hasn't opened yet. It should open midway through the first week of September or at the end of the first week. You can and should upload a photo to the Warwick website now though.
