• Ask whether there is small-group teaching. At Warwick we provide regular small-group tutorials providing the opportunity for you to develop your research skills and employability during your time here.

• Check where you might live. We have added over 1,000 new rooms on campus in the last 2 years and have been able to give rooms to every offer holder who applies by the deadline. Remember if you want to live at home during the Christmas and Easter vacations you can apply for a 30 week let and save 9 weeks rent but if you want to stay all year choose a 39 week let.
