This is my second uni and I love essex uni so much. The social life is amazing with sub zero being the on campus club being open most days of the week. Sport is for everyone and a lot of my friends are my mates because I joined a sport. The accommodation is good. Campus is huge and so many options for things to do. Multiple restaurants on campus too. My course lectures are so good ( I do nursing ) and very supportive. I’m very happy at this uni :) read more

The university has a wonderful scenery to explore or take in when studying or to hang out with friends. We also have the iconic pebbles, the campus cat. To see it roam around the campus is such a treat. Overall I found the students here to be sociable. When it comes to activities and verity of foods. It’s a little repetitive. This year it has stepped up with more options For food. The main variety of food comes when the market comes onto campus which is lovely. For the Activities on campus is a freestyle. Students have to show up onto campus, from there get to witness if theres anything on or nothing at all . The social media accounts are getting better at announcing what’s coming on, in the campus it self not much. Overall Essex has some unique quirks about it and is constantly changing to provide for the students. read more
