There is so much to do and they have many fun activities, but most things have an extra cost and it is expensive. Love the classes and love the people.

University of Essex

Artificial Intelligence - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

It’s honestly my first time at uni and I’ve been here for two weeks so I didn’t know what to expect, but everything has been more than perfect and I’m having the time of my life and learning better than ever before. The quality of education here rivals all top universities globally and the extracurricular activity selection here is unmatchable.
