Students' Union

Colchester Campus

Our SU run an entire town on our Colchester Campus, complete with shops, cafes, bars, a nightclub, and even a hair salon.

Venues

SU Bar is the main place to meet on campus, it's a space everyone can enjoy. Order some hot food, have a few drinks whilst watching big sporting events, you can even find a quiet corner for some study. It's right in the centre of campus, so you won't miss it! If you fancy a game of darts over lunch, then head over to our second Bar on campus, Top Bar.

For your mid-morning coffee pick-me-up, head over to The Kitchen.

Visit the Students' Union website for more information on SU Venues.

Shops

We've got four shops at our Colchester Campus; The Store, The Extra Store and The Eco Store (with a Post Office attached) in the centre of campus, and The Mini Store near the Meadows student accommodation. Across these shops you can grab lunch on the go with a meal deal, tuck into a hot snack at the bakery, or pick up ingredients for dinner with friends. You’ll even find those Essex hoodies you’ve seen around, currency, birthday cards and a host of sustainable products from self-care to a new plant for your room.
