Student Life

Colchester Institute has a relaxed, informal atmosphere. The student population is diverse and increasingly popular with international and mature students. The Student Union is based at the Colchester campus and is represented at Clacton. At Colchester there is a newly refurbished Common Room with pool tables, table football, video games and unrestricted Internet access. There is a Quiet Common Room where students can study. This is also the base for many clubs and societies (e.g. movie club, art and drama society, pool club, football club, the DJ society, Christian Union). Colchester campus has a new multi-gym and a Student Union bar is being planned.
