This is such a great video, I got into Warwick this year and JM was one of my choices!! Super excited x

[@BethanyChan]

Thank you! Congrats!! x

[@tulipsbytina1122]

Really like how you have organized your room :)

[@BethanyChan]

[@sidrafaiz5266]

Hey I was wondering if I need to get my own bedding and stuff?

[@BethanyChan]

Hiya! You'll need to get your own bed sheets and pillow cases etc. but not the actual duvet :)

[@mariarak8328]

How does moving out for Easter work?

[@qqwweerrttyy3610]

that's only for some accommodations (jack martin and arthur vick) and basically you pack your stuff and the uni gives you storage space for the duration of the holiday.

[@triton62674]

@@qqwweerrttyy3610 Why does this happen? Surely the rooms won't be used by anyone right?

[@qqwweerrttyy3610]

@@triton62674 some people come over to uni for conferences/workshops that last days so they need places to stay for the nights :)

Why is it called the University of Warwick if its in Coventry

[@toluwaa9253]

bossasin 123 beacuse it’s in Warwick as well but Coventry is bigger so they just say Coventry

[@missfollese6189]

More like because Coventry University already exists

[@itsreallysofia]

I'm starting at Warwick this year and I just got JM, it was my first choice so I'm really excited, I'm just wondering how the kitchen was in terms of space and cleanliness? And also if the halls were excessively loud? 😂 sorry if someone has already asked this 😊

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Sofia! The kitchens are pretty clean but it depends on who you will be sharing the kitchen with. I was lucky to be sharing it with people who like to keep the kitchen in a clean state, but if keeping the kitchen clean ever becomes a problem, you can always create a rotating schedule for cleaning surfaces or taking out the bins. You will also get a cleaner that cleans the kitchen two times a week and your bathroom once a week :) Again with the noise it depends on who you live next to, but I feel unless a party is going on in the kitchen the halls are pretty quite. There is also a rule of no noise from around midnight to seven in the morning (you'll have to check the handbook once you move in because I may have remembered the times wrong 😅) But during exam season, the no noise policy is 24/7 :) Hope this helps :)

[@itsreallysofia]

Such a fast reply!! :) Thank you so much, this helps a lot! Also, if you don't mind me asking how much did you spend on food each week? Trying to budget :') Thank you for your help :)

[@BethanyChan]

haha yup :) I put £20 as the limit, but I managed to shop under £10 for a few weeks (but I am vegetarian and veggies/ fruit/ carbs are pretty cheap, so yeah :D) But my flatmates (who aren't vegetarian) used around £15-20. But your first shop will be a bit more pricey because you're getting all the herbs, spices, sauces, pasta, rice, etc, so keep that in mind :) Glad I could help :D

[@itsreallysofia]

Thank you, I'm a veggie too so that helps a lot :) and I'm sorry to bother you again, but what did you do in regards to tickets for freshers events? and were tickets available at the time or did events sell out? Thank you again :)

[@BethanyChan]

yay, if i remember correctly I only went to one fresher event and it was the Sunday party. I am not sure if you can get tickets for the Saturday and Sunday parties beforehand but on the day they will sell tshirts as the tickets so you just have to wear the tshirt for that day and you can go into the party :) If you want to go to more of the freshers events I suggest buying in advance and if you end up not wanting to go you can give them to others that may be wanting to go through the freshers facebook page :)

[@brightside2389]

Hey there, What are the best and most useful Apps for university students in the UK ? Hope to hear from you soon .. thanks

[@rizkaazizah7869]

Did you bring your own vacuum cleaner? Or is it available to clean the room?

[@charlesmeng4513]

hi Bethany, thanks for a great video! i have a few questions about JM. 1. how many weeks for Easter holiday? from when to when normally? 2. when you move out during Easter, i see you showed a small cupboard where you can use your own lock and store things. is it the only space you could leave some stuff (heavy stuff or duvet and pillow maybe)? is there any other storage space the uni could provide? thanks in advance!

[@triton62674]

Where did you organise to live for your second year?

[@BethanyChan]

I lived in Leamington Spa in second year, but other Warwick students have lived in campus accommodation, Kenilworth, or Canley :) Hope this helped!

[@georgiaevanda4479]

Hey did you bring your own bath mats? Thanks :)

[@BethanyChan]

Hi! Yup, I did bring my own bath mats :) I got them from Wilko :)

[@cottontherabbit2952]

Does every room in Jack Martin have a green wall or do the colours change in different rooms?

[@BethanyChan]

CottonTheRabbit I think for both JM 1 and 2 it is green or orange and JM 3 and 4 are grey. Also the corridor colour is the opposite so I had a green wall in my room and orange walls in the corridor :) hope this helped!

[@cottontherabbit2952]

@@BethanyChan Thanks for such a fast reply! Wow... green and orange. I guess I know which rooms I'll be praying for then!

[@BethanyChan]

No problem! Haha yeah, very interesting choice of colours lol guess they were trying to make it all bright 😅

[@wendykwai5562]

Beth, I am going to Warwick next year and wanna choose JM. When you say you have to move out during easter does it mean all your stuff have to be moved out as well?

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Wendy! Sorry for the late reply, but yes, during Easter everything has to be moved out of the room and bathroom. However, there is a cupboard on top of the wardrobe where you can store your pots and pans or anything that you don't want to move out. You'll have to get your own lock for that tho. Hope this helped xx

[@cancuscancus6279]

This was super chill and useful!!! 🧡🧡

[@devyangana]

Hey...it was a great video indeed... I'll be joining Warwick this term.. I wanted to know as to how best can I utilise this time to make life easier at Warwick? If there were some things you wished you had done before coming to university, what would they be?...Thanks a lot :)

[@BethanyChan]

Hi! Thanks :) Congrats!! I wished I had gotten out more and actually went to different societies socials. I joined a few societies, but didn't actually continue going to them because I was lazy about my time table 😅 This way I could've met more people and experienced more in Uni. Also to chill (if your first year doesn't count), I stressed quite when grades weren't as good as I would've liked them to be, but with practice, everything gets better :) Hope this helped!! :D

[@anaviarora8951]

I have gotten a conditional offer from Warwick business school and I don't know if I will be able to meet the conditions but your dorm is BEAUTIFUL. Yeah not a fan of green either but isn't it great for GREEN SCREENING since you are a KZbinr???

Hi, I was just wondering how many people you share a kitchen with/ how many flat mates do you have? :) x

[@BethanyChan]

I shared a kitchen with 11 other flatmates :)

[@Izzy-jj5ev]

Bethany Chan 11!? wow is it difficult living with so many people?

[@owendavidkelly]

Did all rooms in Jack Martin have a green wall or were there some with different colours?

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Owen! I'm not too sure, but I believe JM 1 and 2 had either green or orange walls. But JM 3 and 4 had grey walls :)

[@QueenMiri]

Where did you get the charger with the USBs also congrats on getting in I guess what are you studying

[@BethanyChan]

I got it at an electronics store in Hong Kong, but I'm sure you could find it at any supermarket in the UK :) I'm studying Psychology :)

[@asmaaaabm8066]

Great video! Thinking of applying to Warwick for accounting, I'm hoping to live out but I'm quite nervous since I'm a Muslim girl so am afraid to be a social outcast, in terms of ethnic diversity would you say Warwick is mixed? And would you recommend going there or is it suited to certain type of people

[@BethanyChan]

Thanks! I think that Warwick is a pretty diverse campus and you will definitely find your group of friends through societies or clubs if you live outside. So I think if you have any particular interests or hobbies, then you should not worry about not being part of socials :) Hope this helped :)

[@fantasiasmith2066]

I agree I'm currently studying there and as an black girl I feel comfortable

[@Ubahamina]

Warwick has a large Islamic society and prayer hall & so I wouldn't be worried :)

[@AbcDef-hv1nj]

Awesome video! I just got an offer from Warwick and I was just wondering about how many students study there and are non-UK? I'm from Romania, so it would be helpful to know if there are other foreigners like me:)

[@BethanyChan]

Hiya! So sorry for replying so late, but if I had to guess I'd say there's around 7k non-UK students at the uni. You can also join societies that connect non-UK students, but walking around campus there a lot of international/ non-UK students around :) Hope this helped xx

[@crystalsnowaye2913]

Hey how did you get into Warwick did you get 3 As for A/l ? Please let me know ❤️

[@BethanyChan]

Hi! I didn't take A-levels, I did IB and only needed 36 to get into Warwick for Psychology. I think it's AAB for A-levels but I'm not entirely sure :) Hope this helped x

[@sadiabalogun980]

Is the TI texas calculator necessary for your course?

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Sadia, no I just had it from IB so brought it to uni :) I think the phone calculator app is good enough for statistic calculations :) Hope this helped :D

[@athul3870]

Are you allowed to leave all things there? Or do you have to take everything and leave the room empty for Easter break? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

[@BethanyChan]

During the Easter break, there is a small space on top of the wardrobe where you can store things and lock it up with your own lock. But you have to leave the room like you found it, so empty and clear of all your things :) Hope this helped :)

[@shravanamin6856]

hey, was there a problem with having to move out at easter?

[@BethanyChan]

+Shravan Amin Hi! No, there was the storage space above the wardrobe and a storage room in the building where we could store labeled boxes/ suitcases :) hope this helped!

Hey i am applying to uni accommodation and just wondering where do you move to during the easter break?

[@BethanyChan]

Hi! You can pay to stay at the accommodations at the uni over the break if you’re not flying back/ travelling back home 😊

[@zhengbozhou5534]

How much money did you spend on such a great accommodation

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Clement, sorry for the late reply! It was around £150 per week for 34 weeks 😊

[@VincehBhoi]

did the mirror by your bed come witht the room or did u buy it?

[@BethanyChan]

The mirror came with the room :) I'm pretty sure all rooms at Warwick come with a mirror :)

[@annumariyajoseph8007]

Hai.. do we have to apply seperately for the accomodation? Also i would like to know whether the university provides different flats for accomodation. If so which one is the best and cheapest?

[@BethanyChan]

Hi! Yes it is a separate application where you submit your top five choices in the order of your preference. Yeah, there are a bunch of difference accommodations at Warwick both en suite and not. They have changed a bit since my first year, but if you are looking at en suite and central campus Jack Martin or Arthur Vick are really good. Roots is good for socialising and is one of the cheaper ones though it isn't en suite. I think the new Cryfield accommodations are to be good as they are new this academic year. I think Claycroft is also a good accommodation as you share a bathroom with just one other person and the room is a decent size. I'd suggest going onto their accommodation website and just scroll through all of them to have a look what each accommodation has etc. as everyone wants different things. :) Hope this helped and feel free to ask anymore questions if you have any!

[@kairiyaya]

hi did you brought your printer from hk or you purchased it in the uk??? love your vids btw💜

Hi! II bought the printer from Staples in the UK :) and thanks!!

[@dontgua8146]

The toilet is individual or ?

[@BethanyChan]

Yes, it is an en suite so the bathroom was all for myself :)

[@deyuzhao9451]

It should be individual, I reckon.

[@saracela5943]

excuse me. what was in the quality street box. i really wanna know, if you get what i mean *wink* *wink* *cough* sorry i have a cold.

[@BethanyChan]

😂 I put the remains of costumes from pre-drinking with the dance club in the quality street box, obviously after I finished the whole box in a few days 👌🏻

[@bee3828]

Hi I will be starting at Warwick in October! I just wanted to know what life is like there? (in terms of academia, social life, the people, diversity)

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Toni! Congrats on getting into Warwick!! From experience and from the lecturers there, I can safely say that the style of teaching and responsibility of the student is very different from high school. You have to be very disciplined and manage your time well, but with that being said, I had to learn the hard way, so making a few mistakes is normal :) In terms of social life and the people, I would recommend you to be brave and go up to talk to people and make friends in the first week. I know how scary this is because everyone is a stranger at that point, but the earlier you make friends or get closer to some people, the more people you will have to turn to for problems or questions that you both may not know the answer to and can solve together. Looking around campus there definitely is diversity at Warwick, but whether or not you see certain people will depend on the clubs and societies they join. Hence, I would recommend you join a society or club of your interest and try to go to the socials and stuff to also meet more people. :) Hope this helped :D Feel free to ask more questions if I didn't exactly answer your questions :)

[@bee3828]

Bethany Chan Thank you! I put Sherbourne at the top of my accommodation list when I filled out the form. Also I don't drink and I'm not really into clubbing/dancing, is there a big drinking/clubbing culture in Warwick. Do you know if we are allowed to have our own mini fridge in our rooms?

[@BethanyChan]

Oh nice! Hope you get your first choice! I feel they are very accepting of people who don't drink or are not into clubbing. I don't drink, and so in pre-drinks I would have a cup of water/ lemonade/ squash while others had alcohol. From what I remember, you can only have a mini fridge in your room if there is a medical reason, so if it's for keeping your food or drinks safe from flatmates, mini fridges aren't allowed in rooms. :) Hope this helped!

[@bee3828]

Bethany Chan thank you! I also wanted to know what the work load is like at Warwick. I am studying politics, international studies and Hispanic studies. How long (in terms of word count) are essays /coursework pieces? How many lectures and seminars do you have each week (I know it varies across the courses)?

[@constancebobotsi2275]

I study Politics and International Studies so I can give you some information on this bit of your course :) You'll have two core modules with one 50min long lecture and one 50min long seminar for each module. Regarding essays,you get one per term for each module and for us they went up to 2500 words, but don't worry too much because they don't count for your module marks. Congrats for getting into Warwick and good luck!

Where do you go for easter and summer holidays? I really dont want to go home Can you stay at university? Im thinking of applying to JM but I need to know what I can do over holidays Love the tour btw youre amazing at this

[@BethanyChan]

Hey! So sorry for such a late response, but you can rent JM or AV over easter, not sure about summer tho :)

[@olgaaef]

I am coming in Warwick in September and I am thinking of putting Jack Martin as my first choice for accommodation. My only concern is whether there are more English students rather than foreign because of the 35 week constraint. I need to have foreign students because I am Greek!

[@BethanyChan]

Hi! In my corridor there were 5/12 of us that were international students, so I think it’s pretty nicely spread out. Also with keeping you stuff etc over the easter break, you have the little cupboard at the top and they open up a cupboard per block to put in suitcases etc. for the holiday so you would only need to take one suitcase away. Also for that international students get priority. Or alternatively you could pay to stay for the holiday, I’m not to sure about the prices but I do remember seeing signs that said you could pay to stay in the accommodation over easter 😊 hope this helped!! And congrats on getting into Warwick!!

[@tinamiao2871]

Hi Bethany, I am Tina. I just join warwick this year. It's an amazing uni and I really like this university! Do you mind tell me how did you learn such good English and make friends with local people here? I found it quite hard to social with local people here and they usually walk around in gang. Do you mind share a little about your experience with us? Many many thanks. Xoxo

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Tina! Sorry for the late reply, but welcome to Warwick! I went to an international school back in HK and I speak english at home, so English is like my first language. In terms of making friends, I'd suggest joining a society or sports club as that is where most of my friends are from. That way you already have something in common (the club/ society) and everything else falls into place. Another thing is to just start a conversation about anything with anyone. Just talking to someone could boost your confidence and social skills and even if you don't talk anymore after that conversation, when you see them around campus, you have a familiar face to occasionally say hi to or give a smile. Hope this helped xx

[@BethanyChan]

Hi Catalina! Do you mean are there high school students visiting the University or high school student studying at the University? Well, there are several open days at the University were high school students come and see if this is the University for them. As for studying at the University, you need to finish high school (A levels, IB, any other equivalent) to attend the University and study here. Hope this helped xx
