The best aspects are: The campus itself, its really beautiful and really nice to be around so much nature. The societies on offer are brilliant because there are so many options and each one of them are properly run by enthusiastic people, plus they are very cheap to join. The sports clubs are also amazing with lots of options to choose from and you can meet people with similar hobbies. The worst aspects are: The buildings themselves can be very confusing and they do not look good from the outside. However the updated interior makes them very modern from the inside. There isn't a lot of space to study or eat because it is often very busy in the atrium which can be annoying.

I think the University of Essex has a good campus. It’s well maintained and beautiful, most importantly as someone who commutes it’s easy to access with multiple bus stops which are convenient. I think my philosophy aspect of my course is fantastic, always supportive and very easy to communicate with! Law here is also fantastic. There’s many great study facilities, I’m finding more each day! I also think the student union is great here! Very interactive even for a commuter.

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

On an architectural history course you’ll of course be studying buildings and the built environment, but you’ll also be considering historic trends, architectural movements and the social, political, cultural and economic contexts behind these. You’ll learn to use buildings and plans to uncover the past and learn more about how architecture and history can inform one another. After completing your studies, you may want to look for a role in fields such as building conservation, conservation architecture, the heritage sector or preservation architecture.
