Uni is very isolated and there’s not much going in
The common room is very quiet and best place to study when I get to uni on time.

Everything’s great
The campus is really beautiful, all sorts of wildlife just outside the window, beautiful lawn- I do think that the outdoor space is perfect for an amphitheater
The study spaces and student life events are pretty good but the uni has taken away some of the good food spaces on campus and other events and opportunities due to money issues.
Being at East 15 is a great place to study. The community created in both my year and the school as a whole is so strong and the support network is great between both student and teachers. The work we do is insightful and engaging. We are constantly learning new skills and also learning how to implement them. Our working space is great as well however it could be improved as some things do not work and sometimes there isn’t enough space for all courses. Our work assignments are clear with atchievable deadlines that challenge us but don’t leave us feeling overwhelmed.
The main campus (hatfields) is great but the other one (roding) isn’t good, there’s only vending machines for food and they’re not great and usually not working.
Best - the East 15 campus is stunning and most the facilities there are really good. The training is incredible especially for a Cert. Worse - The space isnt always great eg. Going from the roding campus to Loughton and the container classrooms litterally shake when theres a voice class. Also the Student Events aren't great as their all student led without budget.
The location is a bit far from town and it costs a lot to commute from town to uni every day for class, the accommodation is very basic and the showers are poor quality, not even a proper shower head. Campus is a little depressing in terms of architecture and some rooms are hard to find due to the numbering and structure of the building. Other than that the SU offers lots of fun activities and good nightlife, lecturers are kind and supportive and helpful. The lakes are beautiful and the library has a really extensive collection of resources and nice views from the top floors.
Hatfields campus is beautiful, more could be done for Roding house to make the garden area less sterile.
Best: teachers and locations Worst: not being able to use costume/props department until 3rd year and not performing in theatre until 3rd year
Best - facilities and hours of contact Worst- disability adjustments
Gym facilities are good and have a convenient location. Lecture halls are clean. The street food is good
It’s a lovely place and people are very open, but there have been some issues with the heating over winter, or with facilities being slowed down or shut down temporarily.
The Loughton campus is situated in a horrible location with almost nothing nearby. The facilities are not accessible, and the support system limited.
Facility’s and staff are amazing, student union doesn’t do nearly enough social events for students
It’s very good
I completely love EAST 15 the atmosphere and support from teachers is amazing


Best - meeting new people and learning new things. All the lecturers are very knowledgeable and compassionate. Worst - the strikes that have put us a couple of weeks behind in lessons
Really enjoying the lectures, the staff are engaging and knowledgeable.
