It’s a great place to study as there are many options available of courses to choose from, there are many study rooms available too for people who want to study in groups or individually, the library is also great as it has many study spaces,computers available and has many resources. As for student life here it’s really good, there are so many events to go to which are great and I particularly like the su bar because it has great pizza and pool. The people here are so lovely and friendly and the lecturers are always so helpful and friendly too.
best: Thursday market, concept of student advisors, many activities for students. Worst: execution of student advisors, how far everything is on foot
i think this university is really good and i love the experience the students and community is really great and i feel supported.
Essex University is a very welcoming place to which offers a lot of different opportunities such as events to allow everyone to be able to make friends but also to feel very welcome. It has been an enjoyable place with all the different things to do and it is a very safe environment with lots of security on campus and a lot of places to visit if in need help.
The university has a lot of it's areas open 24 hours which is useful for studying and revision for exams, dedicated areas for group work and facilities which acquire all the equipment we may need makes our studies a lot easier to carry out. Everything is cleaned often and the university really seem to listen and care about the students. Personally I have had lecturers in my department who you can tell are really committed and passionate about what they are teaching, making the learning experience even better. Personally I would say the worst experience of my uni experience thus far is the illness and the incredibly unpleasant smell which plagues my accommodation and accommodation area after it rains. There are all sorts of individuals here with constant events being hosted by our SU team and the uni themselves - it can almost get a little overwhelming trying to fit everything in.
No outdoor basketball courts
I love how diverse it is
The best aspect is the bar because I come here every day lol. worst aspect is probably locating the classrooms because why are they written in the strangest codes.
There is a great sense of community and friendships within departments and through seminars there is a chance to discuss and ask questions. However, lecturers could be more helpful in preparing students for the first couple of assignments as it is completely different from college.
The best aspect would be the inclusivity of cultures. The worst aspect would be food options on campus
Easy access to all of your classrooms, Student Union are there if you need anything whether that is physical, mental or financial support. Lectures could be more helpful in the 1st couple of weeks explaining what to expect and how to lay out essays.
Such a good campus with a great student union, just wish accommodation maintenance was faster at repairs
The best part is the people you meet and the lectures as they have a lot of knowledge.
The events are good, however worst part of uni experience is accomodation

Best - great quality of lectures
Lots of food options on campus
