Coventry students?

I'm not on this course and have never studied at Coventry University but whilst I was a student 7 years ago I remember one of my tutors saying Coventry's Automotive Design program was known to be world class. I suspect it still is and I also suspect its industrial and transport design programs would also be equally good.

Coventry. Well, it depends what you're comparing it too. Berlin is a hell of a lot more interesting than Coventry. Manchester is much more interesting, but unless you're at the University of Manchester, there is no point studying in Manchester. Leicester and Coventry are probably comparable. Coventry is an interesting place, but its mostly underground and it depends on what you consider interesting. A club was recently closed down in Coventry because folks would openly take drugs in there. Coventry is a bit rough but roughness doesn't mean ugly or boring in fact roughness shows a bit of character and originality. In Coventry you can meet all sorts of people. I don't think Cov Uni and Warwick Uni students interact much but you have Warwick Uni also based in Coventry. Some Warwick Uni students actually live in Leamington rather than Coventry (probably because they're being a bit snobby). I am from Leamington and it's about 10 miles away and yeah it is a nice place but it is also expensive. Coventry also has nice places, but you're young, you really want to be living in a happening place rather than a pretty place. If you're an open person, Coventry has some interesting people that you can befriend. There are some/many clubs in Coventry which are the generic, regional, kitsch, crap music type places which are all over the UK.

What are the other Universities you're considering?

Please ignore this persons view. They has never studied here and doesn't even live in coventry. I'm going into my 3rd year and I've loved every minute. "Coventry is an interesting place but its mostly underground" what does that mean?

coventry has rough area but they are nowhere near the uni and I've never had any trouble (although my mate did).

warwick uni student live in leamington because its closer that living in coventry city centre, it's nothing to do with being snobby. Intact a friends brother got stabbed in leam last year.

my last point, coventry has many clubs that are not Generic. The Kash bar is awesome and have big named acts on, hush have really good r&b nights on, careys have a comedy night on Tuesdays. Please don't listen to the above person, they have never lived or studied in coventry. If you need anything just ask, remember I'm still studying here

Actually I do live in Coventry.

Warwick University is not closer to Leamington than it is to Coventry. Their campus is 9 miles from Leamington. Warwick Uni is actually in the Canley area of Coventry, one-two miles from Earlsdon, and it's 3 miles to get into the city centre/train station, etc.

If you reread my original post without the blinkers on, you'll see I am complimentary about Coventry University. I specifically commented on this post, because I know first hand just how respected Coventry Universities Automotive Design programme is.

Don't hate on me.
