First years, how have you found university so far?
As we are coming towards the end of the university year, I thought it would be interesting to find out how people have found this year.
Have you enjoyed your experience at university so far? or have you hated it?
Are you looking forward to the start of your second year (provided you pass your exams)?

Didn't really like it tbh. Found it hard it fit in and didn't make that many friends. One of the reasons is because of the flat i got, half of them were international students who don't really socialise and i didn't really get on with the other half. But I got a cool girlfriend though so it's not all bad.

Sorry to hear that. What are you doing for accommodation next year? I feel like so much of first year is about the flatmates you receive. If you are sharing with people you don't like or get on with, it can be one of the worst experiences of your life.
Well I printed a map in September and then I kind of got my bearings by walking there.
Not happy about it. As long as I get my 1st, it will be worth it. Or a 2.1, no less. I find everyone boring here. I'd rather be completely alone than live and have to interact with boring individuals everyday. My uni is lackluster, this is probably the worst school establishment, in terms of experience, that I've ever had to endure.
There were ups and downs. But, i love my course and the friends I have made so far. I am hoping that second year will be even better.

It's been pretty good so far. Course is generally very interesting, the department is great and there are lots of good opportunities.

oh no which uni is this
Some aspects have been good such as societies, becoming more independent and some parts of the course.
However, i just want first year to be over now. Halls have been one of the worst experiences for me and im glad to be living in a house next year. Work has become boring and its just revising now. Have 3 exams within 4 days. In general im just really bored at uni right now. Im at home now but i keep having to go back for society meetings and of course exams in a weeks time. Havent really developed socially although i have gotten to know people in societies and the course.
Going back and fourth between home and uni is annoying (40 mins away). Going back to the flat is annoying. Halls in general are annoying. Revision is annoying.
Just want to have summer and start second year. I think it will be much better.

Loved it! Made loads of friends, joined some awesome societies (got elected as VP of one of them), love my course and even without sitting my exams I've achieved a mid 2:2, hoping for a 1st once exams are done.
I've made a few friends (big thing for me!) and found the classes interesting. It's been a while since I've been in education so I found the work and revising really difficult to start with but I've got better at it as time has gone on. I'm hoping that I can get a good grade in my summer class and I'm already studying for the fall semester. I got two As and a C which isn't too bad given how much I was failing to start with.

Everyone's experience wherever they go is their own. I've been to numerous places where the rumours I've heard could be validated by my experiences, and other times they contradict, such as at Warwick. Someone in a different department might have a very different experience to me.

I feel Warwick would be fine for those more outgoing..
However the few people I do know here I quite like, and there are loads of clubs/societies on offer; I've enjoyed the ones I'm in.
