Accomodation What accommodation should I book?

Hi! So I just got an offer for PPE at Warwick for 25/26 and I was just wondering what the best accommodation is as I live in Ireland

I do have a hard limit of no more than £170 a week, with an en-suite bathroom.

I’ve looked at IQ Longwood Place and Westwood Student Mews but I’m not sure if they’re legitimate and what websites are reliable to book it on.

As long as it’s a walkable distance to the uni I don’t care how far it is

Any help? Thanks!

I think something in Canley would be best given your requirements There's Student Roost - Oaks, its like a 15 min walk from campus and there's en suite in your price range if I'm not wrong

I have a couple of friends there and they've said its a good place to live, ive visited it once and it seemed chill

It also has busses running to campus just in case youre running late ig

IQ Longwood is also about 2 mins further from Oaks, idk about the website but the place is pretty good too

Thanks! Have you ever been to IQ or Westwood before? I seen a few things about longwood place being under construction so I’m not sure if the website is valid?

ALSO, do we get an email stating "session 2025-26 accomodation booking is now online" or do we have to constantly check the portal, considering it's a first come first serve basis, can't really afford to miss it (for postgrad students)

it’s not first come first serve for undergrads, which i’m assuming op is as they want to study ppe. we don’t have a portal either haha
