The best aspect of my uni experience so far has been the people. There is a massive population of international students here which makes it a great place to be in. The student union is also very active and there's a decent amount of event happening weekly, from volunteering opportunities to markets and nights at the uni bar and club. The worst aspect for me personally would be that while the University Campus is a really beautiful place to be, Colchester is some what slow paced. Because of this, finding jobs does prove difficult, especially when all of the students jobs on campus are gone.

For my course there is alot of independent studying to be done and I only have two hours per module every week. But every lecturer is available to meet with during their contact hours or at any time through email and they've all been very helpful.

I haven't had many issues with my Accommodation apart from a few delays in some repairs.

I think the student union is very involved with planning events which helps to bring students together and make new friends. I have also found this is the case for societies. I believe a bigger focus on mental health and student support could really benefit the university. Also the health centre could be looked at, as while it is in a very useful place for students to access, I have found it’s not easily accessible to organise appointments.

The course offers a variety of modules to delve into the different aspects of art history, particularly in first year. I have found what modules I enjoy and will more likely study in the next years. I think there should be more of a focus on exam skills and assignment help in class. Even for just 10 minutes, I think it would be useful for the lecturers to break down what is needed for the assignments or exams.

I like the price of the halls and the location in relation to the university. It is one of the further ones from campus but it still feels like a quick walk. The staff are also very helpful.
