Accommodation

Living on campus:

Despite the fact that there are over 6,500 student rooms on campus, you'd never guess. Every effort has been taken to construct interesting structures that are surrounded by flora. They're safe, secure, and friendly, and they're a terrific method to make learning more convenient. The rent includes gas, electricity, water, insurance, basic cleaning, and a high-speed internet connection, and all units are equipped and well-maintained. All have on-site staff to ensure that everything goes smoothly and that the kids' needs are met. Everything you might possibly require is within easy reach.

Living off-campus:

Staying on campus, however, is not for everyone. Some people desire to get out of the ‘Warwick Bubble,' as it is affectionately referred as. In adjacent Coventry, Kenilworth, and Leamington Spa, there is good value housing with good public transportation.
