I love my uni
It’s got a homey feel to it
The student life is amazing. The campus is beautiful. The professors are mostly reliable and helpful. The labs are fully equipped and you can request additional equipment.
The lectures are patient and understanding during classes.
It’s nice and cosy
Very good teaching and facilities. Lecturers could put lecture material online earlier (e.g. PowerPoint slides and workshop question solutions) so that students can access them before the lecture.

First gen student
The professors And classs mates are fabulous
University is bit out of touch when it comes to student organisations but overall nice and friendly place to study
The campus is very nice, with lots of options for food, places to sit and lakes.
I commute from home and have not had a full university experience, however my lecturers have been supportive and are there for help when we need them and the university has a wide range of facilities for us students. Some of the worse aspects would probably be lack of feedback for some of my essays and it can be extremely difficult to park gone 9am.

The negative side is that the campus is in colchester and the activities outside the campus are few and there is very limited restaurant on the campus, but the positive side is that the support to the students at the school is at the best level, so that’s why I love this university.
The best part about the university is the chance to learn something new and meet new people and there’s lots of opportunities there . The staff are not very organised on the course and it sometimes feels like they aren’t sure about things they should be sure about. Placement organisation is not great. Some lecturers never answer their emails and it’s hard to contact them. Personal tutors do bot understand their roles.
Very great place to be, beautiful grounds
Feeling good
Best - Teachers are understanding and help when in crisis Worst - parking facilities could be better

I improved my knowledge.
The campus is multicultural and the campus has different shops and bars
Different cultures
The social life is excellent was very easy to make friends and the bad is probably the gap in facilities per department for example other than the stem centre which is just computer rooms mathematical sciences doesn't have anything. Whereas pathways have a common room screens with teachers info and stuff. Feels a much better environment

Some of the facilities are great. I wish there were more white bread food options around campus as I really struggle to find food to eat due to it being a majority brown bread/ wholemeal bread. The buildings themselves can be really cold and being a person that seizes in cold weather/rooms this is not very good for me. Lecture theatre seats are a tad uncomfortable but the people are pretty okay.
Teachers are way too quiet and sometimes when they explain it it’s confusing and it’s still is confusing when they go over it for a second or third time. I’ve never seen my tutor and feel uncomfortable asking for extra help because it genuinely makes me feel stupid. Placements team are lovely and send out lots of placements even if only one or two are actually beneficial for me.
