Warwick Campus 2025: share your views
With the University’s 60th anniversary coming up in 2025, we want to understand what makes campus special and what could make it even better for 2025 and the years beyond. Your views are invaluable to us and for this project, we're trialing a different way of hearing about your experiences. We’ll be using an online, interactive platform, where you can share images, videos, written comments, and more. The interactive tasks will help you imagine and create a truly spectacular campus, working online with other students participating. This opportunity is open to all students; we’re always keen to hear about your broad range of experiences and ideas.
If you are chosen to take part, you’ll be entered into a prize draw with 22 chances to win vouchers (as long as you take part in one task a week).
The project will start on Friday 3 March and run for the last two weeks of term. Find out more and register your interest now! Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so register as soon as possible.

Wellbeing: Work-life balance
Work-life balance can be tricky at times. During busier parts of the year, when there are conflicting deadlines or exams, it can begin to feel overwhelming. Sometimes we might struggle to know where to start. If we take a step back to think about which of our tasks are urgent, which are important, and which are non-urgent and non-important, we can start to plan ahead and schedule our time well. Why not take a look at our work-life balance tips to give you a hand?
National Student Money Week
It's National Student Money Week (NSMW), and this year the theme is Navigate the Numbers: Coping with the Cost of Living. The Student Funding team has put together tips and resources to help. The team will be in the SU Atrium between 12pm-2pm today (28 February), you will be able to pick up a free reusable Weekly Meal Planner and other resources. There are also webinars throughout the week. Visit the NSMW pages for more information, and see our Cost of Living pages for details about other support.
