There are many groups and individual workplaces, so many are providing help. The campus is very clean and calm and has the usual facilities such as shops, cafes and lots of restaurants. Good transportation connection by bus or even train to the city.

I started this year at ARU medical school in Chelmsford, Essex and I am part of the first graduating class. Although I’ve only been a med student for less than a year now, I can genuinely say that I am full of enthusiasm about the program and the experience in general. There is a good balance of fundamental sciences and basic knowledge and clinical exposure. My placements up to now have been enlightening and everyone has been super welcoming. As a new school, there is always room for improvement, but everyone is working hard and I am positive that better things will come with time. I encourage people that are looking for a medical school close to London but in a smaller town to come visit ARU med school in an open day and to apply to start their journey towards becoming a doctor.
