University of Essex Reviews 3

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the University of Essex. There is a strong level of support available, which really matters because the jump from A-levels to university is a big one—especially when adjusting to independence.

In my first year, I stayed at home and commuted, which I found quite stressful, particularly when it came to travel and making friends. In my second year, I decided to move closer to the university, and that’s where my confidence really began to improve. Although my anxiety was challenged at first, by the middle of second year I had built a solid group of friends who supported me through my struggles and helped keep me committed to my studies.

The lecturers were consistently supportive and understanding, particularly around my difficulties with socialising and adjusting to university life. I genuinely felt listened to and supported throughout my time there.

I would also like to personally thank **Sarah Kunz** for helping me reach out to the support I needed at the time. Her guidance and understanding made a genuine difference to my university experience, and I’m very grateful for her support.

I would definitely recommend the University of Essex—but don’t expect the work to be easy. It’s challenging, but fair, and ultimately rewarding.

There’s also a decent range of food options around campus, along with plenty of social spaces and clubs you can get involved in during your free time.

Due to illness, I had to resit my second-year work and exams. With the university’s support, I was able to achieve the grade I had originally aimed for but unfortunately missed on my first attempt because of my health. That support made a huge difference.
