I stayed in Callice Court, which I found really nice, if a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth viewing the accommodation yourself and deciding what you think :smile:

It depends what building you're in regarding distance from the station, but it's around a 20 minute walk in general - there are buses too though, which are quicker; usually £1/£2 for a single :h:
I applied for biomedical sciences (14.10) but have not heard back yet.
I applied today for International Relations and a placement year but just to fill the gap in my list. If anyone wants, you can go ahead and try to convince me that this is THE place to be :biggrin:

How long to replies from the uni tend to take?
anyone applying to the new dagenham campus?
I'm nervous applying. I'm 23 and will be 24 when I go Coventry university. I've been living with my mothers family in Thailand and lost contact with friends while over there. I'm scared I'm too old to make friends.

Computer Science for me

Don't be, I'm 23 as well, going to Coventry in September to study a computing related field too. Huge lover of Thailand (Muay Thai fanatic), feel free to keep in touch if you're worried about making friends.


You're a life saver! I was so cautious about this website alone thinking I've gone up and joined a teenager website.

So I'm guessing we'll be in each others class! What are you studying, you said a computer related field?

Thailand is great! If we do become friends in the future, I'll cook Thai food and teach you Thai if you'd like, hell we'd go travel to Thailand and visit my family near the beach, I know some cool places tourists don't know exist. My aunt can also get these gigantic sea crabs for cheap! My English is gonna be a bit rusty.

Oh man, I am so glad you exist. I don't feel old and I got someone my age to be friends with, I had to go back to Thailand for military

Do you live in Coventry right now? I'll be back in England sooner or later, just waiting for my passport now.

Ooo, very nice! I don't recall the interview being too difficult, but it may depend on the course, so hopefully someone doing Accounting will be able to give more insight :holmes:

As a flip side to this, I've found Coventry to be lovely. Don't just base your choice in one person's view, take a look around the city and the uni yourself :yep:
