With a fun group of friends it’s good. There aren’t as many night clubs in comparison to Birmingham or London. However you can travel to Birmingham which can be a ten minute train ride. Shopping Coventry has the usually top shop primark river island and H&M new look. However, new the train station there’s a central six that has stores like outfit, TK max where you can get great deals!!

Even though Coventry is in general a quite city, there are plenty of clubs you can choose from and enjoy the student life!! What you will enjoy the most here, however, is the diversity of people and the mixture of different nationalities coming together and learning from each other. The University is located exactly in the city centre, so there is no problem with the transportation. Also, the library is opened 24/7 so that you can get the best out of your studies!

It is small city with beautiful city centre, here you can find everything you need. And university is one of the best ones!

Lovely location for living in Leamington Spa. The bus takes a while so it would be nicer if it was closer. 25 min drive. The clubs in Cov are great but the only way back is a taxi and it's very expensive (£30) one way so if there was someway to get from one to the other then people would prefer Cov as a location.

Such a lovely area to be, you feel welcomed and safe wherever you go. People are lovely and the overall experience is great!

The town is great for students however as it is a town rich in history there aren’t very many modern elements. The town centre is quite traditional but the main square has been modernised with the new Primark and restaurants such as Las Iguanas.

Coventry uni is in a great location with many places to get food, shop and go on nights out. For food, there are many cheap baguette shops located close to the central buildings. Also, there are many different types of cuisine such as Chinese, Japanese and Thailand. Furthermore, the surrounding area of Coventry is currently being refurbished so the location will only continue to improve in the future.

There are about only 2 decent clubs in coventry and they are about a 2-3 stars at best. However if you are looking for a good night then the train to birmimgham is less than 3 pounds and the earliest train back is at 5-6 a.m. prices are okay here, probably averaging 2.50 for pints and sing measure drinks

Coventry city centre is not the nicest looking however there are plenty of shops and the skydome offers a cinema ice skating and club. There are a few clubs in coventry catch twenty two is popular among coventry and Warwick University students. The 12X provides an express route from coventry stn to warwick uni very convenient

Coventry has Kasbah which is great night our for students on Mondays. Near to Coventry there is Leamington spa which has good night life with plenty of bars and clubs like neon and Smack. Leamington spa has plenty of restaurants and take aways of good value and the shopping center is nice with a good variety of shops.

Overall experience in this city was poor. Regarding nightlife, there isn't a big variety and there really is only one decent club (doesn't satisfy all tastes). The public transportation in not really efficient, and it might be possible to take 2 different buses to reach your destination. On the plus side, there are a lot of places to eat out, although expect to spend over 10 pounds for every meal at these restaurants. You might be able to find cheaper food at student pubs. There are a couple of places to shop, a huge Primark, but if you are really looking for variety, I recommend taking a trip to Birmingham. Overall, I would not recommend Coventry.

The city has a lot of perks. It's close to Birmingham, though you avoid traffic and all the noise. It has plenty of shops and pubs. Not as many clubs.

The city centre has so many places to eat and shop, with cinemas and gyms very conveniently placed right next to the shopping area. The are several bars and even a nightclub not too far away. All in all, this is a very fun location which isn't too far from uni.

The clubs aren’t amazing, sometimes too crowded so there’s a lot of shoving and if you don’t have a uni express, it’d be almost impossible to get in after midnight and maybe even before. There are many restaurants to choose from and all the shopping places are located in one place which is convenient but it’s no oxford street. However, transport is more expensive than London.

Not a lot or night clubs so nights out aren’t too much fun. There are some food places to eat for food Not a lot of shops at all. Especially designer clothes shops, there are next to none! Some things to do, not much is the town centre but trampoline parks and bowling outside the centre.

Warwick university campus might feel a little bit out of the way but there is good public transport and leamington spa is lovely. Cute coffee shops and ample night clubs.

In coventry you can find the best student nights out, even on a tuesday. Shops are ok but you can always find the main shops like JD, Debenhams and Primark which is always good. So keep your wallet on you to make sure you can purchase anything anytime.

Coventry has the best student nights out. You will have the time of your life and after a few drinks you will think youre in vegas. Very good for food options in town centre and around the city as well as delivery options that are very fast. Shopping can differ depending on individuals but the main shops like JD Sports , Debenhams and Primark are available and there is aleays a lot of options to buy. So keep you wallet on you because there is always something to spend money on while in Coventry. Transport is always easy from a £4 day saver with the bus to Uber which is very cheap and always available.

The location of the university is the best feature. From the main hub building, the town centre is a quick 5 minutes walk away. While there aren’t many fun day out things to do around the location of the university and the centre, the shopping portion and the ability to get a quick meal out is beneficial.

Weather isn’t great, but Coventry is relatively nice. The restaurant options are plenty if you look hard enough. With travel, including just walking, entertainment is good.

Not really many places to go for an urban music night out unless it is a student event..which are only.on during term time. Great places to eat all over Coventry. Wide variety of restaurants in the city centre. However some restaurants are scattered at various retail parks which is quite difficult to get to if you're not a driver. Lots of mainstream shops in Coventry city centre which makes it easy to find something to buy if you know what you're lookong for. There is not a lot to do for fun in coventry except for chill with friends indoors. There is an icerink however and a cinema nearby if you like that sort of thing.

The University itself is in the heart of Coventry, everything that you need is accessible in walking distance from the University. It is very easy to find student accommodation within a 15 minute walk of any lecture or seminar buildings. Coventry as a city is a 20 minute train away from the bigger city of Birmingham, you can get regular trains for a couple or pounds. Or you can get an hour train to London. Obviously Coventry is literally in the middle of the country so nowhere is too far to travel to and from.

University is good but only if you live in student accommodation. Private flats are too far out from the city centre and anything else. Relatively priced, matches that of most places. Not too far from Birmingham city centre either.
