Year 12s: what, if anything, would discourage you from attending a uni open day? >>

Anyone got pictures of Essex

Hi I only got to go on a campus tour and really didn't see inside, (e.g the law department), so does anyone have pictures that would really help alot.

loftx's review

The accommodation is either sociable and scummy (towers) or unsocialble and nice (courts)

Are the courts really that unsociable? Cos I reeeally don't want to live in the towers, but if I end up a social ****** because of not living there, I'll be really pissed off. Essex is my isnurance anyway so I doubt I'd get into the towers even if I wanted to. I bet I won't get into my firm though, and I don't want to be a recluse at Essex! Arghhh.

you'll be fine! if you dont get into your firm and you end up at essex, you probs wont get towers, so maybe see about going for houses or wolfson court (which are slightly cheaper and more sociable than south courts).

Saying that though, Essex is so friendly even if you don't get along so well with your flat mates (if you're in south courts.. cos you will most likely get a long with most people in towers) there are so many clubs on campus you'll meet plenty of people anyways!
