Hi my name is Gabriel Reznick, I recently accepted an offer from University of Essex for a Masters in Political Science. I was wondering if anyone knew whether it would better to live off campus in an apartment or on campus in a residence. I live across the pond in Canada and am not going to be able to see any places before I start school. I was wondering if the residences for post-graduates were quiter then the residences for undergrads. If any one has any information on this topic, please send me a message or reply to this thread.

Live on campus, you'd struggle outside.

Try not to live in towers, anywhere else is cool.

Quietest would be; Houses or Wolfson Court
South Courts is okay but it's expensive for what it's worth.

Post grads are normally limited to the Towers and quays
But you live with other post grads, the post grad tower is normally quite

On campus without a doubt. It's cheaper and insanely close to the library, gym and lecture halls/seminar rooms.

Tower's are the cheapest but very basic. Pretty sure there is a post-grad tower, but nearly all nights will be quite noisey regardless what floor you're on. It's very basic, 12-16 people per flat but you can look at pictures and such.
