Our accommodation
Where you live is a very important part of your experience here at Essex, and with our wide range of options within walking distance of campus facilities you have plenty to choose from. Bills are included in your rent including Wi-Fi, heating, hot water, contents insurance, electricity and the cleaning of communal areas. Plus, living on our Colchester campus you also receive an Essex Sport gym membership.
Rooms for undergraduates are normally let for the full academic year, from late September to the end of June, which means that even if you're away from the University during the winter and spring vacations, you don't have to remove your things from your room. Postgraduate students let rooms for 50 weeks, until mid-September.
Our single accommodation is arranged into self-catering flats, complete with fully equipped shared kitchens. We also have and available, so you'll be able to find the perfect place for you.
