University of Sussex

The University of Sussex is such a vibrant, friendly and tolerant university. There are lots of societies so you are guaranteed to find a society that would suit your interests. There's always such a open and social atmosphere around uni and on campus. I found that the lectures and seminars at the University of Sussex were very engaging and interactive throughout my time at Sussex. As a third year, I couldn't be happier with my uni choice and I have had a great time at Sussex and made great friends and learned a lot about myself along the way.

The lecturers are mostly really supportive and the disability team. I would prefer if the library was a bit more modern, most seats don’t have plugs which is really annoying and it’s just not the best library. It’s easy to get to, but not great that I have to pay so much for a parking permit.

All the staff are very friendly and the course is well organised. It would be nice to have more chill study spots of campus, more coffee shops. Also it would be nice to have more rooms available to book for student group study

Sussex was always my first choice university from the moment I went to an open day. The campus is in a beautiful area with great facilities, and everyone was so friendly. I was only concerned about how 'dated' some of the buildings seemed, but over time I have grown to love the historical charm of campus and there is a great mix of modern and older buildings. Throughout my time at Sussex, I've accessed many of the student support facilities, and they have never let me down. Sussex works hard for any student to ensure they are happy, and getting the most out of their degree. As a mature student, I was nervous about returning to education and the support I could get, but by my second year, I'm completely confident in my work and how to achieve the high grades. The university and the union run a range of activities to suit everyone's interests, there's always something to do! I've met so many amazing people through the various events happening on campus, something I never thought was possible as someone with anxiety. Going to Sussex was the best choice I've ever made, and I will never regret it.

The student experience is really great here but the campus could be touched up in places and a few more facilities should be available

Overall, Sussex has a lot of advantages that make it an outstanding university. The university campus is amazing and has a lot of beautiful and engaging facilities where you can spend time studying or spending time with your peers. The place is also great, campus is surrounded by the National Park and it’s such a lovely experience to live so nearby and spend time there. University also offers so many activities and societies for its students, which makes the university life very exciting and diverse. The territory is being looked after and the same goes for the accommodations. Security service is really good. The only downside that I’d like to highlight is the difficulty to form any kind of connections. Students are naturally very distant from one another and from any people that encounter them on campus. It would be great if the lectures were more interactive in terms of lecturer - students and students - students. Because for now these types of communications / connections are absent, which makes your experience very lonely.
