Student review [#36166] for Childhood and Youth Studies
at University of Essex

I enrolled at the University of Essex (UoE) in 2020, I chose the UoE because it was close to my hometown and had affordable accommodation on campus and useful facilities on campus such a post office, a post room to collect your parcels and various restaurants.

So far my degree has ran quite well however, there could be some improvement on communication within departments and admin staff. Also, the lack of communication and consistency when staff go on strike make it difficult to receive timely responses as they are not obligated to let students know if they are going on strike.

Taking everything I have said into consideration, I do not regret my decision to study here as it is close to London, expands my network circle through attending the free workshops at the Innovation Centre and has guided me in reinventing myself to support my holistic development.
