Sort:Latest reviewsI enjoy everything at the university, since we get lots of support and it’s easy to meet people here. One thing I would say, is that the university needs a SWIMMING POOL on campus
Being a sports student my experiences with the facilities on campus have been flawless. Really helped me with my studies.
The people
Improved - more communal areas to study eg study pods
Very happy campus with a friendly environment
campus has everything you need and is a lovely atmosphere.
The best thing is that this university has a completely all functional campus including bar, restaurants and club
Campus is really pretty unfortunately quite out of the way from everything else in Colchester- not great night life. Small campus gives a community feel
i think there needs to be more options for food, and more activities that are outside lecture hours and on the weekends, i feel like i get too bored and there isn't much to do after you explore campus and town. but the campus facilities are amazing, i love studying in the library and the business school. current su events are so fun too, amazing for someone like me who has social anxiety to socialise in calm environments
Lots of events making it a great place for students.
The availability of everything on campus is very useful, however it would be nice to have access to more sports facilities and other activities without being apart of the sports teams.
I like the environment on campus but nightlife could be improved
Socializing and opportunities for being active are very good.
everything is great!!
Good settings. Nice teachers and lecturers. Interesting course
It's very inclusive and have a lotbof support
I feel safe and happy walking around campus, student housing is great. Course wise- I enjoy my course so much but having 6 hours of lectures a day is excessive when the learning could be done in 3. Placement opportunities are also great I have loved every placement I have been on, however the PEMS sheets are rarely taken into consideration with where you want to go and what limitations you have on travel ect (I lost nearly £2000 last year due to having to live in a hotel). SU events are also great and food on campus is great especially market day.
Colchester is beautiful and I love the amount of support on campus. My accommodation is not very good though.
