Our at-a-glance guide to the University of Warwick

The first fact you should know about Warwick is that it's not in Warwick. It actually lies about three miles outside the centre of Coventry and on the border of Warwickshire. Warwick itself does have its own castle, though, so you might like to go there for a day trip. Coventry has all the other mod cons you require, though the modern (well, modern in the 1960s) main campus is charming and very well equipped. Consistently rated among the best universities in the country, Warwick is something of a leader in the academic field, with innovative approaches to community involvement and widening participation.
