The university is amazing. The faculty is helpful and friendly. They ensure you learn from your classes and help towards your career and studies.
I truly appreciate the student support. I love the fact that it has so many courses regarding psychology, it makes me feel like my subject is a priority to this university. The campus is beautiful, specially all the green areas. I believe the international college’s classes should be more interactive and interesting, also I would appreciate it if not all of the classes started at 9am.
Great university to study at and very good teaching facilities.
So happy. The college is really warm and friendly and the staff are amazing. The management are so friendly and welcoming I feel at home here.
Campus a bit old
There need to be more parties, like Saturday or Friday nights

University provides an opportunity to deepen one's knowledge in a chosen field of study and gain expertise. It opens doors to learning from experienced professors and engaging with cutting-edge research. In addition to this, anow is a time for personal development. Students often experience increased independence, learn to manage their time effectively, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However there are some aspects which I do not prefer, firstly being that life can be demanding, with a heavy workload, exams, and deadlines. Balancing academic and personal responsibilities can be stressful.
The University of Essex campus truly captivates with its scenic beauty, nestled amidst nature's embrace. The lush green surroundings create a tranquil backdrop for academic endeavors. The library stands out, well-stocked and conducive to productive study sessions. On the culinary front, the campus boasts diverse and delectable food options that cater to varied tastes. Beyond academics, the vibrant nightlife and the dynamic student union contribute to a lively and engaging campus experience. Overall, the University of Essex provides not just education but a holistic and enjoyable university life
It’s a great place because it’s relatively quiet, but not creepy quiet, kind of a peaceful quiet. Some facilities like the toilets in some buildings could be needing some fixing, but overall it’s a nice place to study.
A long walk from the accommodation Less halal food items in or nearby university
The best aspect of my uni life that I met people and I have a lot of choice where I can found someone to become friends. I would say that the worst is probably noise during night, but I can understand this.
18-24 years
University of Essex is a great university with a great atmosphere. From the beautiful scenery to the new people you’ll come to meet, you will always find something that will make you feel at peace. It’s special
Best - the Experience Worst - 9ams
Spectacular uni


University of essex has many opportunities for students. Inside the campus it has everything. Starting shops, laundry, bar, bus stops etc. I really lobe the beautiful big campus and the student life here is amazing.
The best aspect of our course is that it can broaden our knowledge. I love learning new things about our life and everything that happens inside our body. I love learning about it. The worst aspect would be how much exams we have. We have a lot of exams and submissions.
I love my room. It has a beautiful view and nice and comfy bed. I have really nice flatmates. The kitchen is very big and spacious. What I don’t like about it is how small the toilets are. Also, for the room the price is quite high. It is also a bit far away from the campus but, it is closer to the town.
