Hi Everyone,

How many of you have chosen Essex for this year for the LLM in international human rights law course?

Hi Spook,

I have chosen Essex for LLM in IHRL this year. Which accommodation have you opted for?

Hi McLegally,

At the moment I have a room in Sainty Quays. Apparently we can still cancel up to 1st September so I am still exploring options.

How about you?

After having a word with the accommodation officials I learnt that Keynes tower is reserved for Post-Graduate students. Hence I have reserved a room there. Though Sainty Quays was on my mind too.

Hi McLegally,

What finally swung you to going for Essex? I was in a similar quandary having been accepted at several London institution's too, but felt I would benefit from Essex's reputation in this field.

To be honest I had not researched in detail about various courses before applying. I mostly relied upon the advice of people already working with igos/ingos in Europe and Africa. Among the many universities which my friends recommended, the ones on everyone's lists were LSE, Essex and AHD. Hence I applied to these three and got through LSE and Essex. While making a choice between these two I learnt that Essex offers two to three modules which are very much related to my area of interest. Also I had heard great stuff about the strong reputation of the faculty at Essex. So all in all for me it was primarily the modules offered at Essex.

Hey everyone,
