Sort:Latest reviewsVery nice and friendly environment. Lots of activities. To improve, parking spaces and communal areas when it is raining.
I found that my University is very accommodating. It has all the correct resources I require as a student. The use of technology has been extremely helpful. I am able to find my classes due to the findmyway app, I can also access all my student information including attendance record by accessing the app.
There are numerous places on campus that allow for you to study and your "university/student experience" is quite possibly the best it could be; events, socials, clubs, nightclubs.
Sometimes,I fell helplessness in the campus, because I don’t know who are the person that I can ask to get an answer.
University of Essex is the best place to study because they prove great support both on physical, mental, social and financial both to the Home and International students. The university has trained staff both academic and non-academic who are passionate and keen to support students as long as you seek support and speak up. They value their students irrespective of their backgrounds that why they are the most diversified universities with different students around the globe. The make sure that none of their students is left behind by providing activities that engages every one as well as comfortable and fit to participate. The university listens to their students also strive to improve and make change where it is detrimental to students so as to enable their students to have pleasant student life experience. However, University of Essex is not committed much to Mature students who has a lot to juggle with including family, children, relatives, works plus social and personal lives. They should be give priority to mature students during assignment submissions and deadlines knowing very well that they have so many committeements along their studies.
I think it is a calm place to live and study. Lately, the Student Union have started helping more students with food support. I believe it could be better if accomodation prices and the tuition fee became more accesible for international students.
University of Essex is a wonderful place to study. Their library services are top notch, the school environment is conducive, the lecturers are there to support you and there is a personal tutor assigned to each student who will always be there to direct you on how to be successful in your studies, they have well equipped laboratory, there are also so many activities you can benefit from. They are excellent in education. They can improve by creating rooms for courses that are not in their list now. Honestly, I feel delighted to be a student of University of Essex.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful, including the staff on campus.
The tutors in Essex are very friendly and enthusiastic. The teaching quality is very high. They can use interesting examples to help you better understand your professional knowledge. The students here are also willing to help you and communicate with you.
Not bad
Its very much a uni tailored towards outgoing and extroverted people.
The beat part of the university is the vibe of the campus as every building has a completely different vibe so even though you are at the same place it doesn’t feel like it
The overall feel of the uni life is amazing especially after studying two years in lockdown. I thought I would have missed out on my uni life but I have not and I have been enjoying every second at the university. The worst aspect would probably be the bridge near the accommodation. It would be better if it were kept clean and maintained. All in all, I have no regrets whatsoever cheers!
The best has been the range of nationality friends that I Have made at Essex , the diversity is amazing. My course and the hands on experince they provide us on placments and during term time. The worst would probably be the virtual learning in first year because I missed that social interaction with other students and wasn't able to use the uni facilities to their full potential.
It’s a very green campus, a lot of support from SU and there are so many good societies (especially sports) which you can make great friends through :) But it can be dangerous at night and it’s a small city so not that much to do.
Facilities for film are easy to get, great for work or making films in spare time Some modules are bad, either teachers, style of teachers or content

yay uni

An exciting place to study with competent teachers and different ways of learning, in a lovely and inspiring environment. However, because of the large amount of BA students accepted in each year, it makes socialising and "becoming a united group" a lot more difficult.
Intense and rewarding in-class learning, with a variety of skills and acting sessions, to make for a diverse and extensive learning experience and give us the skills and knowledge we'll need in the working field. The days are long, from 9am to 6pm, but that provides enough time to fully delve into each 2 hour session. The tutors are there for us when we need them, and encourage us to look after ourselves and know our limits.
