University of Sussex

I've always felt that the University is welcoming and organic in the sense that the people here are genuine and pleasant to be around. I enjoy going to the Library to study, it provides me with the needed environment to keep me focused on my work. The staff are always happy to answer questions whenever a student presents one, which only makes the University more productive and engaging.

The campus is amazing, but maybe if more pathways were added around the road sides along the outsides of the student accommodations. More bathrooms in the library, and a bigger group study area in the library, and fix all the non working plugs. The feel, environment, people, staff and support are amazing. The lighting around campus at night is also amazing, making sure that you always feel safe. The only place it lacks is the path out of the campus to Brighton where the trees loom over the path.

The uni is in a nice location surrounded by hills and fields which gives a nice break from the busyness of central Brighton and gives ample opportunity for a mid day break from studying to clear your head. Also the campus has lots of open areas which means you don't feel claustrophobic on site surrounded by nothing but buildings, these areas are also pleasant to sit and eat in chat. Lectures are passionate about both their own performance and yours making it easy to seek for help outside of timetabled lecture times. Personally I am not staying on campus so can't talk about the dorms. Overall a good uni with access to ample support

The nightlife is fun, the lecturers are good, the resources provided are useful, the timetable is not too much, the homework is relevant and counts toward your grade.

It’s a really great area - really near the sea with great public transport. I think the rent prices are insane so an improvement would be cheaper accommodation and facilities
