" Very nice place, food is great, a lot of facilities and a campus cat and market on Thursday. The teachers are amazing and the support that offer really helps when you are feelings stressed with things such as wobble week. There is always sessions on to help you with things such as referencing and also a career hub which allows you to gain employable skills. "

" I like my online course, it is fairly good structured and I like the flexibility of this. So I can stusy part time whilst doing full time job. I also like that unlike many other courses the prive was the same and I could afford it. "

" It's a good university. Good teachers, friendly staff. Avoid the online university however as it's not actually ran by them, it's Kaplan and they are awful. Their tutors are pretty great for the most part but support and organisation is terrible, they take days to answer to anything as they are not employing enough people and some of the mistakes they make are very unprofessional (i.e. running a seminar before students were given access to the course so no one was aware of it, just the tutor who attended it alone...)

" Overall the University of Essex is great as the campus has lots of facilities and the staff are very cooperative. It also has great and affordable accommodation. My only issue is that sometimes you don't get enough feedback from lecturers on your work. "
