UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX
Overall Rating

There are not many universities that provide the course I’m on, so I really appreciate that Essex does. I do like the campus with all the canteens and cafes however, at times the food and drinks can be a bit pricey for a student.
I do love the library on the campus and the fact that it’s open 24/7.
There are a lot of events and societies at uni. Although I personally don’t have time to attend them, I do appreciate that they do exist.
The campus is located in a beautiful place and it’s great to catch some sun while sitting on the grass in the summer.
I wish that large overflow parking had markings for parking bays, as at the moment most of students park leaving large gaps between cars, which means that less cars can fit in. Also, I’d appreciate if students could park at uni for free.
The Business School building’s automatic AC works so it's strange that it’s always too hot or too cold.
When it comes to module readings, Talis list and the Module Outline don’t always match. I wish lecturers were more careful when checking that.

Despite my complaints, I would recommend Uni of Essex. The buildings might be old and the layout confusing but in the end it’s people that make this place so great!
