Essex

Colchester is the oldest recorded town in Britain. Located in North Essex, Colchester is only an hour train ride away from London and near Stansted airport.

Southend is a bustling town right by the sea - great if you enjoy watersports (or sunbathing!) Again with museums, cinemas, theatres, art galleries, bowling, a cinema and many pubs, bars and restaurants - there is always something to do or see.

Essex has a range of accommodation suited to a variety of needs all within walking distance of the academic departments and campus facilities.

At the Colchester Campus there are student residences on campus where each student has their own fully funished bedroom with free internal phones, free access to the internet, and a shared kitchen with all appliances. Some accommodation (South Courts, the Quays, and the Houses) have en-suite bathrooms and students typically share kitchens with four to seven other students, whilst in the Towers students share bathrooms and one large kitchen with up to 15 other students which is a great way to meet lots of people!

In the Southend Campus there is brand new accommodation ready for 2010 entry. There are 561 en-suite rooms and large kitchens shared between eight and eleven students. Again all bedrooms come furnished and have free access to the internet. This accommodation is a few minutes walk away from campus and also right in the town centre - some rooms even have a sea view!

At the Loughton Campus most students live in houses or flats, that they rent from private landlords.

I have just completed my final year of study at University of Essex, and my time here has been brilliant. Academically, the government department is one of the best in the country and well known for its excellence, but also the socialising aspect of the university is brilliant.

I highly recommend my university to anyone who is interested in meeting people from a variety of backgrounds, enjoys socialising and a high standard of education with help at hand to anyone who needs it. I hope others find their time there as amaz...Read more

I have loved my 3 years at the University of Essex. At the Colchester campus there was also something going on and you get to know a lot of people. I am going to stay living up here as I now love the area with some others from my course.
