Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
Essex is a great facility for socializing. There’s a lot of social events that can help you build connections well. It also has a great range of lectures and social workers that are really there for you when you need them. I really wouldn’t change anything right now about it.
The worst aspect has to be getting to the uni - getting over that bridge is the worst part, as all students who live in the other accommodations can relate. The best part has to be the rogue nights that happen on campus, a student led activity where all students comes together is the best part. What could be improved overall is having shuttle buses that motivate students to now come and attend regular lectures, as well as having lectureres involving more questions directed to the students to answer too.
the campus is beautiful with a lot of green areas and many activities to help us with our studies and stress
Best would be the facilities and worst would be the student life.
Best: Safety of nights out Cleanliness SU Events - quiz, bingo, FED Essex start ups offering amazing opportunities SU president offering insight via emails and social media, defeating the us against them trait Accessible accommodation The market place!!! Improve: My printing allowance ……? Parking Common room areas for commuting students Normalise being penalised for poor attendance Recreational activities - badminton, table tennis, etc. Birthday treats
There are all kinds of events every day, so you'll always find something interesting to do. This makes it easier for students to meet each other and contributes to student life! The only thing that could be improved is maybe the accomodation, some of them being far away and some others being a bit old. But the response team in case of issues or emergencies is quick so it's a good thing!
It is a lovely uni I feel safe on campus and there are a lot of student focused events with there being always something to do or new to try such as sports of creative or parties and there are a surplus of academically benefiting opportunities aswell. Something that could improve would be awareness about how to utilize your time at uni effectively and also mental health help
My university stands out as an exceptional place to study due to its dynamic academic environment, inclusive community, and commitment to personal growth. The campus fosters intellectual curiosity through well-equipped libraries, modern learning spaces, and access to cutting-edge research tools. Lecturers are not only knowledgeable but also approachable, encouraging students to explore ideas beyond the classroom. Beyond academics, the university cultivates a strong sense of belonging. Student-led societies, cultural events, and volunteering opportunities create a vibrant social atmosphere where diverse voices are celebrated. This inclusive spirit helps students build lasting friendships and develop leadership skills. Moreover, the university actively supports career development. From internship placements to workshops on CV writing and interview skills, students are empowered to transition confidently into the professional world. My own experience—participating in media campaigns and organizing events—has sharpened my communication and project management abilities. Ultimately, my university is more than just a place of study; it’s a launchpad for future success, personal growth, and lifelong learning.
