Law - LLB (Hons)

University rating (5)

The campus is great, accommodation is very local, you can get lost a little when trying to find a class, but overall all of the people I’ve met have been very friendly and helpful, and the uni is really trying to help their students

University of Essex

Mathematics (Including Year Abroad) - BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best aspect of the university is the large library and the many study facilities located around campus, making revision a very friendly process. The worst aspect of the university is its location as it is located relatively far away from the city centre, and a distance from the capital which makes travel expensive.
