Guide:
There is one main university library with over one million books and a large collection of journals, magazines and electronic research facilities. There are also two smaller research libraries in the Biology and Maths departments. Overall the library facilities are good, but there are times when the one thousand six hundred study places and limited building size make it feel a bit cramped. There are around 900 workstations at various locations around campus including the main computer centre and the library. This is nowhere near enough and students would be well advised to bring their own machine. If you don't have one the union sells second hand equipment. Also, students living in university accommodation can connect to the college's broadband network. Warwick has a great range of sports facilities, which are free to students and staff. The Sports Centre has a gym, weight training facilities, squash courts, a climbing wall, a pool and a sauna. There are also sports fields for virtually every sport, including American football, and at Westwood there is an athletics track, another smaller pool and a dance studio. The Students' Union has a range of sports clubs that cater for all levels of ability. Disabled students are very well catered for with services including ramps, lifts, induction loops, carer accommodation and Braille signs. Welfare is well organised and gives good general advice as well as specific information on physical and mental health. There are plenty of counsellors and a sabbatical welfare officer. There is a health centre and pharmacy on site and for staff or students who live on campus and have children there is a small nursery. 24 hour security means that crime on campus is extremely low and a night shuttle bus transports students around the campus to key drop off points and halls of residence. There is everything you could ever need shop wise on campus. An Endsleigh insurance shop, vending machines, a launderette, a hairdresser, the list goes on. There are also a small grocer and a bigger supermarket. Other food retailers can be found quite nearby. There are also branches of HSBC, Nat West and Barclays on campus.
