University of Brighton

Best is probably sports culture, I love the sports culture. The worst is probably campus not being like them American style campuses as I would have loved one of those with more greenery but that’s me being picky

Currently the Moulsecoomb campus doesn't really feel like a campus. The buildings are scattered around a main street and so the feeling of a 'student campus' is weakened. I wish there were more student facilities around instead of the multitude of accommodations. There is really only one place where students would gather for some social time which is the venue. A sports facility , similar to the one in falmer would be quite good as I would prefer not to add to my travel expenses just because I want to join a sport. Overall the university is good. Mst lecturers do their job properly and are supportive. The existing facilities are in a good condition and do not take away from the experience.

Moulscoombe campus is a really good locations, not to close or far from town and right next to halls Brighton Night life is great Aldrich Library is a great location to study The Society’s are good fun and making friends is easy just by going to them Lots of things to do in and around Brighton

I'm at moulsecoomb campus which is a 9 minute train ride into the town and a 3-4 minute train ride to Falmer. I have access to the number 25 which takes you to all the university campus which also makes it easy to get to the hospital in like 20-30 minutes as the medicine department is there for the universities. The number 24 can take you to Churchill square which is in the center of the town. The University campus at Falmer has great sports facilities. The gym unfortunately at moulsecoomb is small and is the only gym on this road therefore is cramped all the time due to university students and members of the public both having access to it which makes it hard to do a full proper work out. But you have an aldi and sainsbury on the road with aldi literally being across the road to the accomodations along with hobby craft and Halfords and sainsbury is a 20 minute walk down the road from where both the university and third party accomodations (like Student castle and IQ) are in moulsecoomb. Good computer rooms, great library to study at which I believe is 24/7 with computer stations as well if you didn't bring a laptop and private study rooms which you do need to book to secure your spot especially during exam season. The lecture rooms are good overall. There are certain lecture rooms I prefer to others but overall are good. The shop at moulsecoomb campus isn't expensive and sells food, drinks, university clothes and stationary. The cafe sells a variety of drinks and food but personally I wouldn't eat there everyday as it definitely will add up over time. I think it's great if you do not have any time to go back to your accommodation to make food or during exam season when you are hungry and want something to eat so you go there to buy something because by the time you finish studying it will probably be late so easier to get something there than get home late and start worrying about cooking or going to the shops to sort out food.

All of the facilities are within about a 5 minute walk from each other on the campus which makes it nice and easy and quick getting from A to B. The student union has a significant impact on the daily life at the university, providing several services on the campus such as affordable shops and cafeterias as well as a bar close to the campus where game night are offered frequently. They also ensure free sanitary products are available in all female toilets which is great. The place for improvement would be within the sports brighton app/website . They are hard to navigate often discouraging people from engaging in activities and sometimes just doesn't work. Also , if you want to do sports there is a wide variety of choice but most of the clubs run in Eastbourne , a long distance away from the other 2 campuses.
