Lovely campus, awesome academics
(5)·By Celia H·Other· Oct 2018 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.
