Anglia Ruskin University is the place to be. The University offers great facilities including impressive library and lecture halls.
I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere here. When I first arrived at Chelmsford Campus at Anglia Ruskin University, the first person I met was at the iCentre, who was very welcoming and helped me a lot.
