 " the lecturers on this campus are divided between very good and very bad. some of them really make you want to learn and participate in the lecture, others, on the other hand, make you sleepy. the library facilities are very good. the building itself is modern, clean and have lots of space to learn. You can find a separate room where no one will bother you. I have enjoyed free evening sports activities such as badminton. Food on campus is cheap and really tasty. "

 " I am in my 3rd year at University of Essex. I am studying Bsc Psychology with cognitive neuroscience. I have found my course really interesting. The academics are really nice and helpful. The staff work hard to make the material engaging and well delivered. The social side has been mixed at times, but overall I am happy that I chose Essex for my degree. It is a very research oriented university and I will definitely consider it for my postgraduate studies. "

 " I absolutely loved my time at the University of Essex. Unfortunately COVID happened before I started at the university, but the course was delivered online by professional staff which made the subjects interesting even in those dreadful lockdown times. During my 2nd year at uni I lived in campus and loved the place. The student life was great and the help and support throughout my degree has been great. I miss all my friends! "

 " Majority of subjects on my course were not connected to my major at all. A lot of things were taught over and over again in several subjects which was a waste of time. Some teachers were great and passionate about their job but some were just not on a satisfactory level for me. My campus doesn't have much facilities so that's a negative. Also, I had multiple situations where I needed help and support so I reached out to the university but the administration didn't seem to be helpful. For the money paid it was not worth it. "
