Sort:Latest reviewsSussex uni is such a friendly environment, it perfectly balances the academic support and the wellbeing and fun aspects of university life. The main improvement that could be made is more affordable campus accomodation as there is disproportionately more high-cost accomodations which can be difficult for students such as myself that come from less financially secure backgrounds. I'm aware that this is a broad UK problem as well, so overall I am very pleased with my experiences at Sussex so far.
Really love the vibe and shape and tone of the campus as I walk around from accommodation to my lectures and seminars. Great to have a pharmacy and GP on campus. Having to bus down 30min to town centre is both a blessing and a curse.
I really feel like I can get support for anything if I need it.
improved through more interesting content or even content that relates to potential career paths. could use more places to study as it does get really bus at times and you can’t find a place to sit. also would like more variety of food places
Student support is always so helpful and will try their best to accommodate your needs and any issues you may have!
The campus is great and is positioned in a place close enough to town for easy public transport, whilst still feeling far away enough to escape the business of the city. There are lots of facilities that meet all my needs on my course and extra curricular activities.
Location, students and the best thing is the group of knowledgeable tutors
So many opportunities within the university - internships, volunteering etc. - great place to build a network. Great atmosphere around campus with many activities constantly going on. I would like more study spaces as it can get crowded.
I love the location - it is so close to Brighton which is a truly amazing place. In terms of annoying aspects of uni life the accommodation costs for on-campus accom is vast and I would personally really appreciate it if the cleaning crew were decommissioned in exchange for a simple checkup to reduce the prices.
If you’re one to write ‘controversial’ pieces, for example those oppressed and demonised by government and media, then be aware that this institution uphold bigoted views and slyly penalise you through your work. Also be aware that there is NO APPEALS system. They say there is but after a several month long ordeal I was told in black and white by the appeals office that my mark won’t change, was never going to change, that once it has been given to you that is what they stick with and there is no process where it would be rectified.

the best is its lectures who are really approachable and friendy, they are also genuinely interested in the subject they teach, the worst is.. can think of anything, but I’d like to have more varied affordable meals in the Student Canteen :)
I love the campus and staff
The campus is very big with lots of amenities.

The facilities are greatt and student life is also pretty fun here but the location is pretty isolated.
access to good facilities, a place to improve is making the coop cheaper it is the most expensive one in England.
I love my course which is fascinating and facilities are very great. however, there are some toilets which are too old especially in old buildings. That is a bit sad.
I think i would say i definitely love how diverse the uni is in aspects of international students , I've made some really amazing helpful relationships with some of the professors. I would say what I particularly dont like of the uni is support on getting internships in general or helping in building experience such as labs
I am an exchange student I am so happy to be studying here. This university feels like a dream to me. People here are so kind and nice, always helping you in whatever you ask for and being so polite. I love the student life here, every day there is a place to go or an event to join such as the Language café or Salsa lessons. Also, the teaching quality is so good and I love the lectures, seminars and workshops dynamics.
The facilities available to the students to study in a quiet area is very useful. Easy to connect with other students on campus as everyone is closely knit with eachother.
