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. However, 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. Overall, 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.

University of Essex has a great student life but right now the job market in the UK is very bad.

Tips: The University of Essex is a good university located a bit outside of the town centre. The campus is good and charming, and the Data Science course is good if you are looking five years ahead. However, the job market is tough, and securing a job is difficult. The UK market is flat currently, so I would not recommend anyone doing a master's degree from the UK.

Likes (Public transportation): The town is small, but the transportation system is really impressive. There are bus stops everywhere, and the buses run on time. The buses are clean and comfortable, and the drivers are courteous. You can even track your bus using the FirstBus app. The app shows you the location of your bus in real-time, so you can see exactly when it will arrive.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition is high, the quality of education is poor, and the job market is tough. However, the campus is good, and you have 24/7 access to libraries and computer labs. You'll enjoy university life but be prepared to put in a lot of effort in your job search.

Great academic support online and offline.

Tips: Take a Forex card before coming here. It's very helpful. Getting your BRP, a sim card, and a bank account here, should be the first things you do after arriving here. Learn some basic cooking, otherwise you will end up spending a lot more money on food.

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.
