University of Essex

My course is everything I ever wished for, with great, engaging professors and intriguing modules. The social scene has to be my favourite part of the University of Essex.

So much fun, you should totally come join this uni. You learn so much about how to become an actress; you don't get that anywhere else.

So far, I am enjoying my course in social work and have met some amazing people. The university has a lot of student-friendly jobs available on campus for students seeking employment, which I find incredible. The quality of the resources available, such as study areas, the library, and tutors, is top-notch. In terms of accommodation, there are lots of options depending on your budget, which is very thoughtful. My overall experience at the university has been amazing, and I would definitely recommend the University of Essex to anyone who isn't sure about where to go.

University is an opportunity to grow and be more thank what you ever thought you could be and that's what allows you to make the most of it

I studied a Masters degree, in Survey Methods for Social Research, which is a very niche subject, but one which I really enjoyed. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who is interested in the more technical side of quantitative research, and it has led me to a job in market research, which is really great.

My university experience is going well. I receive a lot of support on campus with anything I may need. I Am enrolled in a great course and have made many friends.

My university experience here has been amazing. Most lecturers are helpful and are always willing to go the extra mile, and the student Union is fun. Only downside is my dissertation supervisor is not that great.

This university has opened my mind to education and inspires me for a better future.

During freshers week the psychology department organised many events to get students to make friends and learn more about the structure of the course. It was a very welcoming environment and we played games to break the ice with fellow students The accommodation was spacious, clean and safe. We have 24 hour security on campus and every flat has a residential assistant to help with any problems. The accommodation was cleaned once a week and spotless. We made the majority of our friends within our flats :) Lecture halls are incredibly clean and very spacious. The classrooms and library have multiple work spaces, you will never not find somewhere to study. Our student union is one of the friendliest group of people I've ever met. They can assist you with any problems you have. Our campus also has an on-site doctors and even a prescription delivery service. The lectures are easy to follow and the lecturers are so friendly. They all offer help outside of lectures to ensure all student are up to date and receiving the support they require. Colchester is a very friendly town. The residents are welcoming and polite and the town centre has many good places to eat, party and shop! Great nightlife! :)

Before lockdown it was something amazing.lots of people, lots of opportunities. A good luck to start the year. Many types of accomodations. Well kept. And so good to be on campus so I don't have to wake up early for class. Well kept, clean, everything functioning. Lovely with some classroom very big. The library has an awesome lift in the library. Gym is clean and tidy. The subjects focused on the important stuff. Well taught, the teachers are really high qualified and very nice. Never had a problem. The course is so fascinating. Colchester town isn't that much of fun. Probably because I don't drink. Nice to have a wall though and yummy restaurants
