Campus is a bit naff but the people are what makes this university, on campus there is such a sense of community and everyone is super friendly

Would have been five stars for everything but the hot water keeps going, the Internet was down for over 2 weeks, we are being continuously being harassed by the all boys flat next door as an all girls flat and all for the price of £180 pw

I love Essex. Everyone at the university and in the SU works really hard to make you feel welcome and at home. The campus is very diverse but still creates a strong united identity.

Student Support is always there to help when you need it.

The SU has really helped me think about my future job prospects. They are always there to help.

Colchester is okay and a nice small town but there isn't much going on there.

The SU runs all of the clubs and societies and makes sure that they are on track, well funded and looked after. Societies are the backbone of student welfare at Essex and are excellent.

I have gained valuable work experience since being at Essex that has made me not worry about the future too much. I was a Frontrunner and it really helped me gain skills in areas I wouldn't have been able to on my own.
