Warwick University pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but that means that all the people you meet are going to be fellow students who have a reputation for being "up for it" most of the time. It's also very very green, or muddy-brown in the winter so jeans are a necessity.

When the sun is out, which is rare, most students hang out outside and have picnics and parties in the summer sun. Although yours truly tends to overdo things on the old lager front and ends up paralytic in a puddle in the middle of the greenery - the romance of Shakespeare country this is not.

Apart from Warwick, there is nearby Stratford, and Leamington who have lots of nice "ye olde worlde" pubs and also more modern clubs full of 80s pop. If you like a mixture of indie, pop and dance music, then the best place to go clubbing is nearby Coventry, although they tend to serve up a dish of ABBA , Wham and Duran Duran. The Union is probably the best place to go out, and you're guaranteed to pull if you stay until the end. They have excellent entertainment laid on and the place is awash with cheap, strong lager.
