University of Essex

Psychology (Including Placement Year) - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

So far the best aspect of my uni experience is the campus. It’s very spacious with tons of stalls to enjoy from. One thing I have struggled with was making friends. But now I have made a small group of them. The uni of Essex is very welcoming.

University of Leeds

Classical Literature and English - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I think Leeds prioritises student wellbeing and work-life balance by promoting societies, extra-curriculars, and fairs. I also get the sense from all the members of staff I have interacted with that they all really care about education and research. The location of the campus is also perfect, just a short (5 min) walk to the city but once you're on campus you feel like you're a part of something else separate from the city alongside academics and students. As a joint-honours student, I believe that the university could benefit from more structured programs around joint-honours students.

University rating (5)

Best aspects are definitely the people here. So kind, friendly and welcoming. Only bad aspect so far has been trying to find all my rooms as it’s very complicated but that’ll come with time

University of Leeds

Business Management with Marketing - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Best part is the fact there is a lot on offer as a uni student in terms of events and opportunities to get involved beyond your degree. The institution is modern in the way it adopts AI, and the teaching is quite current for my course. In terms of improvement, there could be more study spaces as libraries get overcrowded during exam periods and also they could increase awareness about support available for students.

University rating (4)

More engagement within the community of colchester. An example is giving some love and care to colchester United, they need the support. A good idea is like how Ipswich Town is partnered with University of Suffolk
