Hey, I'm a current undergraduate student at the University of Essex! Coming to Essex was the perfect choice for me!
The University is one of the best in the UK, regularly appearing at the top end of league tables and student survey results. For example, we have been consistently ranked in the top 10 in the UK for student satisfaction!
Your chosen subject of Accounting and Management is especially strong at the University of Essex. The Essex Business School has recently moved into a new state of the art building with a trading floor, lecture theatres, seminar rooms, study spaces and more.
The town of Colchester has a lot to offer with a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and clubs there is so much to explore and do. The people are generally friendly and helpful. In particular, Twisters bar is a cool, quirky bar which offers cocktails from teapots and a chance to gamble the price of your drink (it’s called toss the boss). Clubs in the town such as Liquid and Missoula often play a range of music with student drink deals every Thursday. We also have our own nightclub on campus, Sub Zero, which hosts a range of nights each week.
I hope this answered your question, if not please feel free to ask and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! Good luck with your decision
