Best aspects making friends and uni life brighton is amazing for music and culture.
Middle of the road but good uni
Good
I enjoy the lectures and seminars as well as the library. The location is very out of the way and hard to get to but since the facilities are close together it is easy to move around
Having great facilities and places to eat
I wish the tuition fees would be more affordable for students. The current model is unsustainable.

The best aspects of the student experience at UoS has to be there are so many great places to socialise AND study - whether you may be meeting a friend just to catch up, there are plenty of cute places to hang, or if you need to study, there are various spots around campus to facilitate your needs space wise (especially the group study rooms). Although a worser aspect must be the class scheduling - students generally find it hard to maintain a work life balance, and with several early morning starts, this can unfortunately be very difficult to navigate. It is nice that some classes are spread throughout the day, but for instance having a 2 hour 9 am start is not really optimal.
I love the course and the feel of campus however the wellbeing support is hard to navigate
More clean, more tidy and more renovated university and some facilities needs urgent renewal because too old or broken - damaged things not looking good if they can.
amazing location and sussex support is so good
I really like the library, and the study areas. The student support services are really good, except for the therapy team as the wait list is super long - maybe worth improving.
love it
Best- lots of activities around campus, great way to meet students and talk to course conveners Improve- maybe the campus could have more access to better society based facilities e.g. given projectors when needed.
The best for me is the careers opportunities and activities outside of classes. The worst aspects is that the uni is a wind trap it gets cold!
It's in a very good location with lots of public transport to get to places whether you live on campus or are commuting. The student union is also very strong and always have something organised so that new students can meet new people and have new experiences. However I think that it can feel a bit small as a university however some people will like that and some won't I personally don't mind it.
The careers and academic suppprt are lacking but the student experience and societies are amazing.
The campus has a lot of diversity and they are very welcoming of all different people. The facilities tend be a bit expensive.
It be good
