Colchester is widely known as Britain's oldest recorded town. Once the Roman capital of the country, it still features impressive landmarks like the massive Norman castle and well-preserved Roman walls that you can explore for free. For university students, it is a great place to live because it feels like a small, friendly city while still being less than an hour away from London by train.
You can spend afternoons at Castle Park, visit the Firstsite art gallery for contemporary exhibitions, or head to the local zoo. The town centre is packed with independent shops, quaint cafes, and diverse restaurants ranging from Turkish to Middle Eastern. Whether you are into climbing at the local bouldering centre or watching a play at the Mercury Theatre, it's a great place for you to study.
