The university is great however the town of Southend is a little bit rough. Parking in Southend is also very expensive and there is no student parking facilities. The gateway building has recently had a new skills lab to replace the old one which is very nice.

The new skills lab for oral health students is very good. The lecture content is very heavy going for some subjects, with a lot crammed in, whilst others are brief. Some lectures are taught via zoom from the other campus but we are still expected to attend which is frustrating for those that travel long distance. I am still on my first placement so I don't know what they are all like but I have been very happy with my work placement.

Lovely campus, many facilities helping and entertaining the student life. Events are great. Worst aspect would be cramped and not evenly distributed deadlines. Little placement support.

It’s a nice place to study overall campus facilities and staff wise. Only improvement I’d say is in the course as I have literally repeated what I learnt in school in the first two years of uni, I think a diversification to the course would do wonders also more choice in choosing your subjects

The University of Essex located in Wivenhoe area surrounding nature friendly environment. Also we have different schools for lots of degree titles. The library is the heart of the University. All the facilities are good but wheb it comes to the fees payments they are not flexible to us. Its reqlly stressful time when thinking about the fees. If they can give us a atleast installaments itll be highly appreciated. Also lecturesres and professor s are helpful for the sutdies and research things. Student union somewhat inactive. But they are doing their maximum i feel. Overall really good to study.

COVID hit the university pretty bad in terms of teaching and learning along with some modules not actually explaining things but instead just giving an example and moving on. The best part of university was meeting all my friends and getting to live with them, the accommodation is really good as well!

The campus is a good size, it’s large and everything is within good walking distance. There is always stuff going on in the heart of campus and always people to chat to. I found everyone to be friendly and up for a conversation. The university cares about their student by provide fair food prices and well-being support! The lecturers take time to respond to emails properly and actually help. The lectures are detailed and useful. There are so many social spaces and societies it is easy to make friends, even if you are nervous. There is nothing I can think to improve the university. I am really happy with the level it is at and would recommend it to everyone!

University of Essex is a great School, lecturers are very supportive and the environment is a conducive place for learning. The library and staffs are very great. I also like the fact that train stations, stores, other shopping facilities and the sea side are very close to it. My school environment is serene and beautiful. For now I think my school has got it all and I can't think of any improvement at the moment

It’s a really good university study wise and social wise however it can improve on cultural wise as in cultural events. Other than that overall it’s a really good university and I have had really good experience here.

The campus is never dull, as something is happening almost every day. I can't think of any improvements apart from the fact that there isn't a lot going on in Colchester, but that's got nothing to do with the uni

The university offers a good range of course and module choices. The campus has an overall welcoming feel, however, the campus has a general negative appeal in terms of the look.

The location is the university is great, it near the town centre where students can find nearly anything they want. The only aspect I'd want to really improve is the student support.

Overall it is a very modern campus with excellent facilities and a wide variety of on campus accomodation. The library is unique in that it has two seperate sides to it, one being modern and the other being old fashioned. The Essex Business School is one of the coolest building on campus with its own little ecosystem inside. It perfectly depicts the modern view of sustainable architecture throughout the building. On the topic of sustainabilty, Essex University has an array of solar panels across most of its buildings and there is plenty of workshops available for students to take part in regarding sustainabilty and climate change. I believe that Essex University is uniquely special in that it is a campus university and that there's always plenty of workshops and activities sutdent can attend.
