Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
Student interactions and learning opportunities. The administration lacks.
The best is the freedom and the facilities that the uni offer us but the worst part is the actual subject where most of time you need to find the work and how to do it yourself
One of the best aspects of my university experience is the supportive environment created by both the students and lecturers. There is a real sense of community, where students support one another and staff are there to help us with our learning. This makes the university experience more enjoyable and helps create a positive atmosphere. However, I think some of the university facilities could be improved. For example, having more accessible and reliable microwaves and better facilities for students who spend long days on campus would make a big difference. Improving these everyday amenities would help make university life more comfortable and convenient for students.
For my course we just need better study spaces and the correct facilities for us to fully achieve our goals
Student support and what the course offers
The student union at our University is amazing and very helpful, the social life is great too and both the SU and University have several events on throughout the week meaning there is something to do everyday. The accomodation on campus is lovely too and there are so many different options to suit different preferences, everybody I have met has loved their accomodation regardless of where they’re staying. I would say that some parts of campus are fairly rundown, a lot of main buildings are big square concrete buildings and so after time they discolour and look a bit worse for wear, some newer buildings like the Business School are absolutely gorgeous but I do find the majority of spaces could do with some refreshing. Additionally, the Albert Sloman library claims to be open 24 hours but that’s only true for I believe 4 out of 7 days which can make last minute work slightly difficult at times. The thing I would like to see improved the most at my University is the selection of cafes and restaurants. I find this to be the worst aspect of the uni because most of these places serve food that is either very unhealthy (I.e. fast fried food, pastries, pizzas etc) and honestly not all that appetising. When I compare it some of the campus food and drink facilities of other universities, they all seem to be very modern, on trend, healthy etc. and I think that Essex lacks that in some areas.
Everything is amazing
the atmosphere is really friendly and the SU are so helpful!
I had a staff member be rude to me and then another staff member apologise for the rudeness on behalf of them and I found that really nice they resolved the situation and they made me feel better

Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
