Of course I can't speak for everyone, but I found that there were people from all sorts of backgrounds, and many people who may not consider themselves to be 'middle class'. People definitely come from all walks of lives, and from all over the world.
Hey! Apologies for the slow response. As far as I know, no one usually brings a car for their first year, especially if living on campus. There's really limited parking facilities, and it's super easy to get around without a car. I don't drive, but a few of my friends started bringing their car by 3rd year when we lived in Leamington Spa, as there was space to park and it was handy to drive onto campus. Hope that helps!
Hi Justyna! There are quite a lot of jobs available on campus, some more competitive than others. On the SU website (on the jobs section), jobs are advertised to work in places such as the bars, club and cafes, so keep your eyes peeled if that's what you're interested in. This is probably the only type of job on campus with more regular, fixed hours. On 'Unitemps' you can also often find when the University is looking for people to work on open days or offer holder days, or after your first year you could work in the 'welcome week' and arrivals weekend to help people move in and organise all the events for that week. You might also find opportunities to work for places such as the library on here. For all of the above you will have to attend an interview or a few hours of activities/interviews etc. then have the opportunities that are, most likely, given to you from your department. So, you may get a department email that advertises the job to be an ambassador for your subject (so you would help with their events and represent and help them at open days etc.), and this would be ad-hoc work when you are needed and would always fit around your timetable. With this sort of work you could have a lot of hours one week, but then none for a few weeks or months depending on the time of year. For these, you are likely to have to attend a short interview. Similar to this, your department may also reach out if they are looking for 'bloggers' who create bi-weekly blog content on OurWarwick and get paid to do this, personally I got this role after a short written email explaining why I thought I would be suited for this job. There are most probably lots of other opportunities that I have missed, but this is what I can think of from my personal experience! I hope that helps :)
