The University of Sussex is situated on the outskirts of Brighton, a thriving and diverse community city by the sea that is a fantastic place to live, with everything you would need while not being too big to easily get around. The University itself has great facilities with the most modern hardware and software needed for my computer science course. The library is huge and a really joyful experience to explore. The campus is a beautiful red brick 1960s design and the architecture and grounds are delightful to walk around, with the South Downs area of outstanding natural beauty literally surrounding it with many walks in woods and gardens nearby. The support recieved from staff and the union is amazing and the lecturers are all very knowledgeable and friendly, many of them also contributing to some of the most cutting edge research in many fields. It was a shame to see the end of East Slope bar, there are other bars on campus but they do not match the atmosphere of that place. This doesn't matter too much as a short journey into town provides you with a fantastic array of options for going out no matter what you are looking for. Overall, the experience I have had so far at Sussex has been amazing and it feels very inspiring to be studying there because the campus and tuition really oozes of the most idyllic parts of academia and outside of studying, Brighton is probably now my favourite city and I plan to stay after.

They adapted very well to the covid restrictions but have transitioned out of it well now and offer a fantastic flexible way of studying, all lectures for my course are in person but also recorded and uploaded online with all the slides and resources available.

The halls themselves were pretty good as they go, but I feel more support could have been offered for me myself as one of my housemates went through some kind of psychosis. Unavoidable really but maybe more safeguarding could be in place.

Library space and cafes are vibrant and a nice place to do work.

Love how they record lectures incase I need to revisit any slides missed

Loved Bodiam 32, bean bags and all.
