The campus is easy access, even for someone who isn’t living in student accommodation on campus. Every member of staff and member of the student union that I’ve spoken to has been extremely helpful and has helped to clarify any issues that I’ve been having. The university of Leicester is a challenging, yet exciting institution to study at.

All of the university buildings are within around a 30 minute walk of each other, with free buses connecting them. There is a variety of places within all of the buildings to study and are nice environments to work in. One significant struggle a lot of people have is finding employment, but the university actively employs loads of students which can definitely help take that burden away.

Best - Love the fields and the lake - great lecturers - my course structure and content is great - great people very friendly - societies and sports are decent - public transport is decent - Y2K is good - bar is good atmosphere, great music, pool, kareoke, etc Worst - a lot of buildings seem run down and un used - when I first got here the amount of admin I had to do to set everything up was so annoying and long - Norwich isn’t a great city getting more unsafe and expensive - SU pints are becoming very expensive - construction has been going on for ages - in first year maintenance were over all the time, sometimes very early on Sundays for very unnecessary reasons and sometimes cos everything was broken - the amount of 9ams I’ve had especially on Thursdays has been a pain especially given how much the SU promotes sports nights - sometimes events aren’t really promoted at all and you just have to hear about them through the grapevine - quite often busses into the city don’t turn up at all which is VERY annoying - tap water in Britten house was gross, as were the showers, could CONSTANTLY smell sewage - single beds !!!!

The University of Essex campus is so well maintained, with green spaces, BBQ areas, lakes, fountains, and tidy walkways between buildings/areas, it feels like a home somebody really cares about. Likewise, most of the study spaces are very well maintained, because students and staff alike appreciate being able to access these spaces. However, some of the rooms at the University are less than ideal for learning, as they sit below ground and do not have windows. This can be a problem if you like to learn in spaces with natural light. As well as this, Essex has a distinct lack of plug sockets in many of it's classrooms, so you need to be prepared and think ahead about charging your laptop if you want to use it during class. As for the students union, Essex SU is constantly putting on events and asking students to get involved to improve the University. At the moment, my favourite SU event is the Thursday market on Square 3, where local businesses take over and spend the day at the University, so students can try something new and get a bargain. What's more, although it can be daunting trying to navigate the campus at first, the University has a variety of accommodations both on and off campus, to suit every student. Otherwise, local landlords have an abundance of house shares available to students that are all within walking distance of campus. Finally, I have to take a moment to talk about how phenomenal the lecturers in the LaLu department are. Almost every lecturer I've had at Essex has been a credit to their field, performing research, or otherwise teaching in a manner which maintains learning languages is a multidisciplinary venture with a lot of different topics you can use as vehicles to acquire more advanced language. Honestly, I never thought I'd be a campus uni kind of person, but Essex felt like home the moment I walked on campus, so I'd emplore anybody considering this university to come and visit, because it really is a phenomenal place.

I like how everything is on campus, convenient, I love the study spaces available at varying levels of quietness. The student union is cheap but could do with a bit of updating. I like the assessments we are given, a variety like presentations and essays writing blogs however the feedback could be more informative. I definitely miss home more than I thought so I wish I had chosen a closer uni most of my friends are off campus which makes the weekends and evenings lonely.
