University of Essex

Accomodation

All the University-owned accommodation is modern and purpose-built and over 90 per cent of it is on campus. Apart from six tower residences, there are The Houses, Wolfson Court, South Courts and the new Quays development. This development is situated on the edge of the campus and offers 756 en suite single-study bedrooms, ten couples accommodation, a launderette and a catering outlet. It is the first part of an exciting phase of residential development in the area.

Sainty Quay, the largest of the Quays, is reserved for graduate students. Two of the Towers and two of the houses at Avon Way are also reserved for graduate students.

The off-campus accommodation is in a residential area approximately 20 minutes walk away. The Students' Union run a minibus service to this accommodation.

All the accommodation consists of single study-bedrooms, most of which are grouped in self-contained flats of varying sizes with communal kitchen-dining facilities. Rooms in South Courts, University Quays and The Houses have en suite facilities and shared kitchens for 4-7 students. Most flats are mixed-sex, although single-sex flats are available if you prefer.

All accommodation is networked so you can use your computer to access the internet and university network from your room. Each room also has a telephone which provides free use of the internal telephone system - you will need to open an account if you wish to receive external calls.

Some of the ground-floor flats on campus have been

specially designed or adapted for disabled students, including wheelchair-users.
