Sort:Latest reviewsOngoing staff cuts at the university in my final year have made it a less welcoming and a more dreary and depressing environment for students. My teachers are overworked and at full capacity causing a reduced teaching quality after staff redundancies and teachers leaving and not being replaced and departments like mine being at risk

I absolutely love it at East 15 and was the best decision I ever made! The most inclusive and supportive drama school out there
The campus is great, but there should be less of racism, people should only select players who deserve and are capable of playing.
The worst experience was when they decided to close our Southend campus and we had to find out on social media
It's totally different from the culture in my country and I love the freedom I get here. But money is the only problem I have here and the worst aspect of uni experience. I love the Uni but only thing that I hate is money budgeting. I can't control myself and I end up with 0 pounds.
There are many opportunities to grow outside of just regular course time. Not many late night activities on campus to do. Food on campus closes early. If you’re looking for great night life, it’s not that good .
Campus like feel with everything you need super close and convenient. A lot of study areas but the accommodation constantly noisy due to maintenance
overall a nice place to study
Close to London. Good teaching. Decent life although it is a smaller town. May not be for everyone.
I really love the campus and the events that student union is organizing however, the location of the university is isolated.
Everything is nice, there's always something to do and something for everyone (chill or more intense mood) and it's near London as well as the sea

There is a lot of career support through talks, CV writing opportunities, and seminars. With the seminar talks, they could have specific themes tailored to career opportunities that are not usually talked about
The lecturers are brilliant and student focused. The buildings could be pressure washed during the holidays, they’re not very aesthetically pleasing to look at. Too much emphasis on attendance rather than performance.
Lovely Atmosphere
The location itself is a great match to study .services and facilities feels better
The student union do a great job in listening to the voices of everyone and creating a fun and engaging environment outside of the academic aspect of the university. The courses and modules available are nice but at times, the management could be better. The staff for some departments at times are a bit unhelpful when it comes to resolving issues or asking for advice, but otherwise good.
Best parts of it is the inclusion and diversity Worst parts of it is how less student support is available and how much you have to run around for it
The best aspects is to meet people. The worse is that I've been sick a lot

I've really enjoyed living on campus, it never takes more than ten minutes to get to a class. The range of facilities available are great, the cafes, the gym, the Thursday market (my favourite). I think they need more activities and social groups for introverted people, as I struggled to join in on campus life because I'm quite an anxious person.
The content is really interesting, the lecturers break everything down into small bits. There are ten contact hours which allows for plenty of time to study and socialise.
I think the kitchens are a little bit outdated, but I like the size of the rooms. My bathroom is needing to be redone and I didn't have a working fire alarm for a month despite reporting it.
