Great opportunity for students.
Tips: Better to get accommodation in university so you get a good connection with university students and professors, so easy to communicate and better internships and assignments help. You can apply for hardship funds of 1000 GBP for you to live in the UK.

Balanced growth, strong support with room to improve.
Tips: Programme structure is rigorous but rewarding; workload can be heavy in core terms. Campus resources are strong like the library, career centre, counselling but some services have long wait times. Housing options vary by department; apply early and check visa/tuition requirements if you're international. Caring into a new city can be overwhelming at first, but peer groups and orientation events helped a lot. Cultural differences mainly involve communication style and time management expectations.
Likes (Safety): The campus feels very secure with a visible security presence well-lit areas and quick response times. Low crime rates in the area and a strong sense of community trust. The campus feels very secure: visible security presence well-lit areas and quick response times. Low crime rates in the area and a strong sense of community trust.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship opportunities were limited in number and geographic availability and several postings required prior experience I didn't have. Some resources exist including a general career portal and a few campus workshops but guidance is fragmented.

The university will not provide any support for internships.
Tips: A lot of cultural shifts happen but it's not related to college, I say. It depends on who you are living with after coming here. I have got a 5000 scholarship for the total tuition fees because of my graduation percentage. So if you have a good percentage in graduation, worth asking the university for any support. I am satisfied with my university very well but not with the country. Long-term settlement is not so good in this country.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of Indian restaurants and international cuisines are there. It completely depends on the individual and their working patterns. If they can manage, they should cook or else if you want to eat out, you have plenty of options available.
Dislikes (Internships): The university will not provide any support for internships like in India, here we have to do everything on our own. You need to find on your own and there will be a tri-party agreement among the university, the student and the company. Also it's not worth doing a placement course in the UK.

The college is great and offers variety of courses and the campus is the best.
Tips: If you want to go to a university with a good campus, then the University of Essex is the place to go. Some of the courses they offer are not as good as others, so choose your course based on the ranking. The university ranks well for students with a math background, but they offer a variety of courses with slightly different modules, so choose the course that is right for you. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): I felt safe walking to the university even though it was a bit of a distance from the city. The surroundings were good and secure and I never felt unsafe. It was convenient to travel there but it was still safe to travel.
Dislikes (Value for money): Even after getting the scholarship the quality of education for a particular course was not that good. Some of the professors weren't as good as expected and the college only lasted for 6 months. After that you would have to work on your major project from home.

University of Essex is good. Part-time is less.
Tips: There are no part-time jobs, students are living in London for their part-time job. Students should come here with some prior knowledge. Don't take exams slightly. If you love nature then Essex is the best place to live in. If you really want to study then University of Essex is good, but if you want to do more things along with your studies then go somewhere near London.

Academic rigor and cultural exploration
Tips: Have no preconceived notions about the country and the people. Do not focus on making Indian friends but make friends with people from different countries and be open to enjoying cultural differences. Spend a of time in the library and stay on campus as it opens more avenues for TA opportunities.
Likes (Safety): The law and order maintenance is really great and the people are really friendly and accommodating to international students. The people don't judge and are very friendly. The student council and faculty are really helpful as well. Also, the environment is very refreshing.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Personally as an Indian, it was different for me to get used to many fast food options so would prefer cooking. Niche ingredients are hard to find as well. Buying food can be really expensive. The flavour profile of the fast food was not to my liking.

A budget ranking university for computer science.
Tips: It is a good university if you’re looking for a budget, ranking and amenities for computer science department. This university is located a bit far away from London which makes it bit hard to travel around in UK. But this gives you the advantage of living on a budget.
Likes (Student Life): This university gives good study exposure, entertainment and affordability in living as it is located a bit far away from the city. As a student, it’s your job to make sure that you make the best out of it by studying and keeping yourself updated for the assignments.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work in the university is easy to get but you get only a few hours of work. Hence, you may need to find more part time jobs to support yourself. This I guess is the same for all the universities around. This can be easily compensated by finding a job outside the campus.

Campus and faculty are great at University Of Essex
Tips: Campus and faculty are great. Might have to struggle a bit for relevant work experience so if you can ride that out financially, it’s a good experience. The city is great. Limited options when it comes to hanging out but you can always go to London which isn’t far.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of food options in the city and online for Indian/South Asian food. Good takeaway options as well. Might help to learn cooking though as delivery fees are a lot and not something I was used to paying. Other than that, plenty of choices for both Indian and other cuisines.
Dislikes (Part time work): It’s slightly difficult to find part time work relevant to my course (MBA) in Colchester as there’s not much work here. So, the part time options are restaurants or call centers, etc. If you get online, you might find work elsewhere around but you’ll have to spend on transportation then.

For sure, it is a brand. You have to decide what you want from the University.
Tips: I would say, please participate in all the activities that come your way. Also, the academic curriculum is a blend of remote classes and physical classes. It is also very important to do a lot of self study so that you can improve your base. There's a very big library and a study center with computers, use that as much as you can.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is good. There's a very active student union that brings in new events every now and then. Plenty of societies to join and a good campus with loads of facilities. Facilities include a gym, sports center and a huge campus with greenery. There are a couple of restaurants and takeaways too. There are also other shops for daily needs within the campus.
Dislikes (Internships): I have done a masters degree. So, we did not have enough time to do an internship. University does not help much in getting an internship. However, there are websites called careerhub and gradintel wherein even alumni can have access and look for internships and jobs, including part time jobs.

Good academics and friendly campus.
Tips: I believe what students should really prepare themselves for before going to university is the curriculum. You should have the habit of writing. We'll have to take coursework of usually 3000-5000 words so mugging up won't really help you. You need to learn to express yourself.
Likes (Public transportation): Colchester is a beautiful town and the buses ply through the university campus and there are bus passes which have a student discount. The frequency of buses going to the main city centre is actually great. I recommend getting the annual pass to the city centre as it saves a lot. If you are travelling elsewhere you can purchase a separate ticket but you'll end up saving a lot till the city centre.
Dislikes (Internships): Looking for an internship totally depends on the student. One should ideally plan the intership hours based on the class timings. Plan your days and provide a schedule to your intership provider for complete clarity. You will not want to miss your classes and at the same time not miss the internship hours.

Good course content and helpful faculty.
Tips: I had a scholarship for my master's and I could easily blend in the environment, everyone is so helpful around the campus especially the faculty also there to guide you. My course was brilliant and I love the way it was curated. I was very satisfied with my uni because it has so many other facilities and support.
Likes (Public transportation): It is because the bus service is very convenient and punctual and also you can track your buses on the application. Every bus goes through the uni which makes it more approachable and easy to travel. I paid around 150 pounds for a year altogether and I got a student discount as well and received a bus pass. Also, you get a student ID with which you can get a student discount around the city.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is because the sponsorship route has become more challenging and difficult to achieve and not every company is willing to provide sponsorship to a mere graduate without a decent experience. mostly IT, Software engineering and healthcare sector and also care homes they are offering sponsorship, mostly according to my research.

Tips: Shifting here made me more independent and responsible. There was a cultural shift, it was for the good, as it was so refreshing to interact with people from different backgrounds. I am extremely satisfied, I do miss my country sometimes but here I feel at home too.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The food is nice and affordable. However, there are not many options for international students. There are at least two Indian restaurants, one of which is very affordable. I usually cook for myself, but going out to eat occasionally is nice.

A practical, student focused university with strong career exposure.
Tips: Students should be aware that this college places emphasis on independent learning, practical application and self discipline. Academic support and resources are widely available, success depends on the student's initiative. Students should actively seek internships and part time. The opportunity is solid but not strongly guaranteed or structurally embedded in the program. Students can get internships but the outcome heavily depends on individual effort, timing and market conditions rather than university driven placement pipeline.
Likes (Part time work): Part time opportunities are widely available, legally supported and realistically manageable for international students both on and off campus. The university offers on campus part time for international students. Off campus students' access to wide part time opportunities such as a supermarket.

You will be better off knowing multiple people and building connections.
Tips: Most of the students are Indians. It feels like you went to Kerala to study. Join multiple activities, connect with multiple people. Don't be afraid. Other Indians might judge but that is fine. Not satisfied as much as I want to be. Participate in meetups and network events.
Likes (Safety): Cambridge is safe. No crime. Apart from bicycle theft, there is nothing you need to worry about. I used to go to the gym at 12 AM and return on a bicycle or by walk home at 2 AM. There is no security at all but there is no crime. In my 3 years in the city, I never heard of any crime except for bicycle theft.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are very less number of companies that offer sponsorship currently. The immigration rules have changed drastically. Given that still Cambridge is still home for the NHS which still takes students and sponsors them. Mostly jobs are high for Biology biotech, pharma, and related students. Cambridge and NHS and Adenbrooke's hospital work together in multiple biotech research. And there are a lot of pharma companies as well.

Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself but there are many restaurants including Indian, the cost is around 10 per person. Ordering food online is quite costly. Groceries are not that costly if you know how to cook, then food is not expensive here. I live in London, one can experience food from all the world here.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would definitely love to permanent live in the UK. It has vibrant vibes, work life balance is good. People are good, salaries are good.

It’s a great place to grow, study and live.
Tips: For international students, Aru provides visa guidance, cultural integration programs and pre arrival resources to ensure smooth transition to life in the UK. Understanding Aru rules of attendance, grading and student conduct is essential to avoid any academic and disciplinary issues. This is a safe place to live and study, not just for international students but for everyone. The environment for international students is also welcoming and safe. I have good experiences in terms of safety. There’s also a special community for student safety. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Part time work): It’s very difficult to get a part-time job without references in the UK. International students aren’t skilled according to UK-based culture and requirements, and references play a large role in hiring. International students aren’t aware of the current market trend in the UK.

A student friendly university in a student friendly city.
Tips: The city is beautiful and student-friendly, and there are lots of things for international students to do. It usually takes a bit of time to get into the culture of the city and everyone has been very friendly on campus. I also got an international scholarship of 4000 pounds waived off of my tuition fee. The only downside is that living expenses are very high, comparable to London. But the city has a lot to offer, and I would definitely recommend Anglia Ruskin University to other students. I'm completely satisfied with Anglia Ruskin University and my course.
Likes (Student Life): There are many clubs and communities that are organised on the campus based on the country and interests like movies and sports. There will be only 2 to 3 hours of classes each day and the remaining we can spend with our friends on campus and develop our social skills. The faculty in the university is pretty decent, but there are a few members who are not teaching at the highest level. The staff is very helpful during assignments, but the lab staff is not as helpful when it comes to answering our questions.

Great faculty but very less internship opportunity.
Tips: I'm finding it pretty easy to settle in at this university. There aren't a lot of scholarships available, but in the first year, you have a couple of options. My course of study is pretty good compared to basic courses like MBA and BACS. There are a lot of Indian options everywhere and the food is pretty good. You can find a lot of Indian stores nearby if you need any groceries, and basic supplies are everywhere in convenience stores like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-op, and Waitrose. If you are used to cooking, your experience won't be hampered in terms of food. Overall, the experience is quite good.
Dislikes (Internships): The internships are not provided to you, but you can find them yourself with help from the university. The courses are based on the principle that you get what you put into them. Your major focus should be on networking and meeting new people to get new opportunities.

The campus is located in a walkable location from the city centre where various food courts and a good sports bar are available for students to relax in their free time.
Dislikes (Student Life): In the beginning, you're still largely connected to a group of friends but as you proceed you need to focus more on classes. This will improve your understanding of the course and requirements. All cultural activities are organized and students from different nations will be happy to show their presence it will be 2-3 days of an event and everyone is so excited to be a part of the programme.

It's a good college for the people who are passionate for studies.
Tips: Students must be aware of assignment making. Assignment is the only task, apart from exams and practical, which students are supposed to focus on. Don't be afraid of them, just give time to the assignments. That will help you with your further job or start-up.

Supportive and helpful faculty.
Tips: It is a value for money university. Compared to other universities, it is cheaper and it's located in Cambridge, which is the best part. And the faculty members are very kind and helpful. Initially, they helped me to find a job. I mean, it's not that bad choice if you are going for it.

College is safe and nice faculty, excellent and very helpful.
Tips: Don't overprepare. Just be ready for college, as it's already excellent and will motivate you. Scholarships are available, and I received one. My experience was amazing, and there was no cultural shift for me.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The staff and faculty are amazing and wonderful. The teaching methodology is great, with 100% concentration. The teaching faculty is highly diverse, non racist, and never discriminates. They treat everyone the same.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work is low, and the work itself is not very effective. I would not recommend pursuing a job. I would suggest internships. Part-time work is not efficient, and the average quality is very low.
