University of Essex

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

The first week involved of understanding how the online platform work. We were introduced to our tutors and student advisors. We were also introduced the subject layour. I do not live there as I study online. However, I have heard great reviews about the accommodation. I hope I can complete my masters The online library is good. The student union is also very helpful and great. Always there to help The course structure is calm and does not seem to be rushed. The layout is explained well. Weekly lectures are given which are very helpful City life is good. Lots of friends and colleagues

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

I'm currently an International Relations/Politics student and so glad I choose Essex. I went to an open day and loved the campus - its so convenient and friendly and I love the lakes in summer.

The academics are great, they really know their stuff and being a research university, they teach from experience and relate to today and also encourage us to get involved.

I love the campus experience but is great being near to London too but much cheaper living costs, my accommodation is ?70/week which is one of the cheapest I found.

I've got a part time job on campus, the job shop advertises all jobs around the area.

Love my time here so far, met people from around the world and friends I'll have for life.

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.

Freshers week was exciting and full of opportunities to meet new people and settle in. The accommodation provided was sturdy and practical. It was easy to make friends with neighbours and find areas to socialise There are many facilities to study in which make it easy to take time in peace to revise. There are also outdoor spaces which are good for this too The course is very broad and interesting. I was also able to secure a placement year to better my chances of employment. Colchester town was pleasant and full of things to do.

I found it really helpful it guided me towards choosing the course and feeling more confident in my self as I didn’t know if the course was going to be for me. The rooms and facilities at the uni are amazing, they are always clean and full of all the equipment that we need to use for any type of course or personal use. The building is set out well and easy to find your way around. The facilities are really good they offer things for everyone and everything. Many people use them constantly meaning that they don’t need to invest in their own products of use which is handy. They are always clean and working and never broken. Everything. Good. Good

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.

It was really well organised and really fun! Mine was very clean and rooms were extremely spacious. It was also very sociable The gym is a bit small but really nice with everything you need. And library is open 24/7 and it's huge so it's super helpful the su is also great The majority of the lectures were really interesting and the lecturers were great help with any assignments when necessary and it's well organised It's not the biggest city and not great for clubbing which is made up for by the uni club and restaurants. But it is good fun and nice and historic

Fresher's began before the course started, so I had plenty of time to enjoy all the events held by the clubs nearby Really good, clean flatmates, close to lecture halls and modern Onsite gym was really close by, as was the library. Loads of su stores for last minute shopping however security was poor Really involved lectures who made an effort with the students, great resources and also some lectures are interactive which is fun It was different more quiet than what I was used to and as it is a town however it really grows on u and you can always find something to do
