‘I didn’t even realise those were next to one another? Isn’t Warwick University in Warwickshire?’ – Timothy, University of Sheffield

‘I have friends that go to Cov, I don’t think they’re too fond of Warwick students’-  Emma, University of Bristol

‘I guess the rivalry is just like any other universities in the same town? Although I have a feeling that Warwick is much more prestigious out of the two’ – Jack, University of Manchester

‘What’s Cov?’ – Sarah, University of York

The Nightlife

‘In terms of nightlife I’ve always thought it’s dead’ – Barry, University of Nottingham

‘I went to a few nights out there when I was visiting, it was actually pretty lively, but I didn’t like Smack’ – Tom, Oxford Brookes

‘Warwick students are probably bigger on drinking than taking drugs’ – Des, University of Southampton

‘I’ve heard that it’s pretty rubbish’ – Ruby, University of Reading

‘When I visited my friend, I was really impressed with how much there was actually going on, I think there have been some false rumours spread about the Warwick nightlife’ – Isaac, University of Kent

‘Bunch of overpriced bars’ – Rachel, University of Liverpool

‘Some of my mates that go to Birmingham, say that a lot of Warwick students travel to Rainbow cos they don’t have an equivalent. So it must not be very lively down there’ – Timothy, University of Sheffield

The People

‘When I think Warwick I kind just think intellectual students’ – Barry, University of Nottingham

‘My view is that students at Warwick, probably go out drinking all of the time, slack off, and but still somehow manage to get firsts.’ Des, University of Southampton

‘A typical Warwick student would go shooting with father on a Sunday and would comment on the freshness of the morning air’ – Rachel, University of Liverpool

‘Warwick strikes me as a place that people go who may place more emphasis on academic focus than the social side of university. Most campus universities seem to be full of home county’s fairly wealthy students who aren’t from a big city’ – Lewis, University of Leeds

‘Really smart, hard working, ambitious and international’ – Ruby, University of Reading

‘Seems to me like the people are super hard working, but maybe not the biggest party animals’ – Timothy, University of Sheffield

‘I can imagine most Warwick students wearing their university logo sweater to lectures’ – Ellie, University of Exeter

Appearance

‘The campus was really sunny on the day that I visited it, really green with lots going on’ – Charlotte, University of Newcastle

‘It was one of my choices when I was applying on UCAS and the grey 50s buildings really put me off, it doesn’t seem like a place that has that provides the latest technology for their students’ – Ellie, University of Exeter

‘It was like a mini-city, I’m from a small town, so it was a bit overwhelming’ – Timothy, University of Sheffield

‘It seemed modern, but its a bit grey isn’t it?’ – Barry, University of Nottingham

‘I visited my friend last year and it was so beautiful around the time that I went. We walked through some woods where there were loads of bluebells. Warwick students are really lucky’ – Jane, University of Oxford

‘It’s probably a lot nicer than Southampton’ – Des, University of Southampton

The Politics

‘Aren’t there loads of anarchists?’ Timothy, University of Sheffield

‘I think mainly Tories?’ – Barry, University of Nottingham

‘Heavily labour’ – Ruby, University of Reading

‘There are loads of international students, so judging on that, are there a lot of liberal democrats?’ – Des, University of Southampton

‘Obviously Conservative’ – Rachel, University of Liverpool

‘Warwick students strike me as people that are really into their politics. Aren’t they the ones that always stage walk outs and protests that get covered by the news?’ Charlotte, University of Newcastle

‘I reckon there’s a big split between raging Tories and super leftists’ – Ellie, University of Exeter
