Development Economics degrees

Best aspect is probably meeting new people and living on my own, my life feels a lot more simpler and organised. Worst aspect is that uni can also be stressful, I also have problems with location of stores I wish we had a large store nearby like a Sainsbury's or Tesco's.

i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

The best aspect of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment and access to diverse academic and professional opportunities. The teaching staff are approachable and knowledgeable, and the university provides useful resources that help students develop both academically and professionally. Studying in a diverse community has also helped me grow in confidence and cultural awareness. The most challenging aspect has been balancing academic responsibilities with part-time work and managing living costs, especially as an international student. While support services are available, clearer guidance on financial support, employability opportunities, and tailored support for international students would further improve the overall experience. Overall, the university is a great place to study, and enhanced support in these areas would make the student experience even stronger.

I love the overall uni feeling as it is very student targeted and is lively therefore making it quite nice to socialise and study, teachers are really interesting and often listen to student feedback. That being said, student feedback doesn't have much of a meaningful impact as it is assessed quite late into the terms. In some cases, it is also looked at artificially or not being listened to at all when it comes to administrative things.

It has multiple different campus’s at different locations on london, which is great for when you want to study. The facilities are always clean and staff are generally very friendly. Majority of lectures I have had have been very helpful and you can learn a lot from them. There are also so many great opportunities to help your career development which is great. I think the social aspect of the university needs improving, there are many societies but a lot of these don’t host many events.

Having come to this campus, the atmosphere and pure friendliness of the staff is unmatched. being a mature student, i had worries and doubts about fitting in and falling behind, however, the uni of Sussex has supported and welcomed me in every way possible. the facilities provided are unmatched, with a variety of places to help give the best uni experience and education. and the societies at this school are so versatile! the only potential critic i have is having a cheaper option for shopping on site, but that's not much in contrast to what i and many others have been given :)
