“Studying as a vet at Writtle was the right decision for me, as I was able to find a work placement after graduation which later became my full time job. The social situation is a challenge at this college, but if you just want to focus on your career then you’ll be perfectly happy here.”

“The quality of education here is great, but I think the facilities could be much cleaner than they are. There also isn’t a lot to do for fun. If you’re purely interested in getting an education, Writtle is a good option.”

About Writtle University College

PROS

  • Prospective students are recommended to live on campus accommodation, as there are a total of 14 Halls of Residence on the main campus. These living options are provided at a range of prices, and are situated in the middle of the college’s stunning campus gardens.

CONS

  • A complaint that some students have about the location is that there are limited options for nightlife, so this institution doesn’t offer the traditional student experience in this sense. Additionally, there are not many social spaces on campus.
