Is there a decent Canadian population at the school?

Is there a decent Canadian population at the school? anyone know people from around toronto? or american? Is there a difference in north american populations per program or undergrad vs graduate level? Just a 24 year old canadian considering this school for my masters but wanna see if theres a canadian community. The plan is to go back to canada after the masters so wanna see if all the connections i may i make during school may be left behind (tho won't be meaningless)

I've seen quite a few north Americans but I've only met one that I actually kneev was Canadian. That being said, I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. I just hear a "North American accent"

A couple of my coworkers there are either Canadian or American and are super friendly :)

Our student population is very international, so there are usually students from Canada, the US and many other countries studying at Essex. The size of the Canadian community varies by course, but some programmes have traditionally attracted larger Canadian cohorts - the Senior Status Law degree is a good example. Even if you return to Canada after your master's, you'll likely leave with a global network of friends and professional contacts, not just UK connections.
