I think that the support and community is really nice
Having to get 2 trains and a bus to the campus morning and night, Monday to thursday...a shuttle bus from Colchester station to the uni and back would be a great help!
Everything seems homey, everyone gets along, teachers help with so much support and understanding. Student support, career advisors and amnetis are so easy to reach, they are so open minded and their guidance is one of the best I've seen.
The university is really pretty and the staff are incredibly helpful. The bathrooms could be managed better. The heating system could also be improved. The facilities are really good though.
Lot of support available for students (including disability support/accommodation), and all staff are very approachable, experienced, helpful, friendly, and, in my experience, passionate about the subject they are part of. I live at home, so I cannot comment on the student accommodation, however, there are loads of events constantly going on across campus, and so many societies! I do wish that there was a bit more public transport in the area, however, I have not had any issues with it :) My course has been very interesting, and I've loved learning the content so far! Each module's lecturers will inform you of how you're going to be assessed in the year, and deadlines are generally available very early on, which is super helpful! There's also plenty of different shops around campus, and even a cinema! Absolutely would recommend this uni, I've found the environment to be much more supportive than anywhere else I've been to!
It’s lovely
