But I’ve found living in Claycroft really great; it’s quiet enough for me to study in my room but also sociable as I get on really well with the rest of my flat - we’ve cooked some awesome dinners together and there’s always the smell of baking in the air when it’s someone’s birthday!

The rooms are some of the biggest and nicest on campus, with ensuite bathrooms, large modern kitchens and beautiful scenic views out of the windows. It is a very sociable place as well, and this helped in making lots of friends in the first few weeks of getting here, both in my flat and other flats in the block. Lakeside provides a relaxed and friendly place to work or chill out during the day, and you’re never short of people to go out with or places to go at night. The Student Union is just a 10 minute walk away (or a short hop on the night bus), and the Varsity pub is even closer being just a few minutes walk away. So whether you’re coming to University to party or to knuckle down and work, Lakeside offers you the potential to balance these out into the perfect mix.” Sam Lee, Undergraduate Student - Engineering Living off-campus A45 Coventry Most returning undergraduates and many Earlsdon 12 postgraduates live off-campus – usually in 3 miles to University of warwick Coventry or nearby Kenilworth or Leamington Spa, all connected to campus by good local bus services.
