"My time at Essex has been great; I have so many

new friends. The social life at Essex is really good

and there are so many options for spending your

free time: sports clubs, parties, cultural events,

clubs, societies or just hanging out in the SU.

I like the fact that the campus is like a little town -

almost everything you need is right here.

Meeting new people from all over the world will

always be an important memory of my time here.

Essex is a very international university so you

cannot feel lonely here.

If you’re considering Essex then I say “just go for

it!”
