I'm not sure I'm qualified to write about Cov Uni for 2 reasons.
1. I never graduated.
2. I only spent a year there, and most of that was in the pub.
Coventry has 2 Universities (under a technicality)
Warwick University is actually in Coventry, It falls within the city boundary.
Coventry University (formerly known as Lancaster Polytechnic) which lies right in the heart of the city itself.
