In this video, students tell us about what they like to get up to in Colchester and Wivenhoe in their free time. To find out more about the local area go to http://www.essex.ac.uk/about/campuses/colchester/around_colchester.aspx

We welcomed people from across the creative and digital industries to Wivenhoe House to talk about how to make Colchester the perfect place to thrive in these fast growing sectors. We also asked them about a project they loved and why Colchester was the place to make it happen.

Make yourself at home in our most recent accommodation buildings, The Meadows. Just a ten minute walk from our Colchester campus, you are also surrounded by countryside with the Wivenhoe Trail connecting you to our favourite riverside town. At The Meadows you can choose to live in Townhouses, with shared bathrooms, or Flats with modern en-suites. Either way you'll have plenty of space to focus on your studies in your room or to enjoy our social areas, like your luxury accommodation kitchens or in The Meadows Common Room.
