Why Choose Colchester?

Colchester is a great place to live and study. Once the Roman capital of Britain and Britain's oldest recorded town, Colchester is now the acknowledged cultural capital of Essex. The town itself is a unique blend of ancient and modern with its Norman castle and museums, alongside clubs, pubs and restaurants, a multi-screen cinema and multi-million pound sports and leisure complex.

Colchester is close enough to London for affordable and easy sight seeing and access to all that the city offers (direct frequent train service in less than 1 hour) but far enough away for it still to retain a smaller town feeling and more reasonable cost of living!

It is also less than 20 miles from the south east coast offering sandy beaches and seaside resorts. With Constable's rural England and the Norfolk Broads less than an hour away, Colchester has something for everyone.
