Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Essex

Acc. To me facilities are great like I bring lunch from home and we have a place to microwave that in sq. 4 so yeah that is cool, location is awesome, we have elevator and cleanliness everywhere. Green space everywhere and trails and lots of space to walk around!
Student support and union are too good, I was like lost everyday in campus finding my classes amd coming back to accomodation! I always needed help from student union at that point of time ..!
Campus vibe is great... There are so much lively events, SU makes us celebrating 5th birthday that's great!
We have so many things to do here at campus itself... So many societies to be a part of... Absolutely great team!
So that would all the shining Stars from my side.!
Thank you UoE and all the people for such a wonderful experience and memories will be having for next 2 years here! read full review
