The University of Essex offers various accommodation options for students, including on-campus residences and off-campus alternatives. On-campus, students can choose from shared flats, ensuite rooms, or studio apartments across multiple halls like Towers, South Courts, and The Copse.
Off-campus, private rentals in nearby areas such as Colchester and Wivenhoe provide additional choices. Local estate agents and online platforms like Rightmove or SpareRoom list available properties. University-managed partnerships also offer verified off-campus housing. Public transport links ensure convenient access to campus. Early applications are recommended for on-campus options due to high demand.
