Above all, the University of Sussex is a pleasant place to study. The infrastructure and facilities are sufficient for almost every purpose – albeit some may need a little renovating. I can also get around just fine, whether that's going into Brighton or on a day trip to London, buses and trains are plentiful and shops are close by. Student support is great when students are made a part of the process: anything university-led has been disappointing, in my experience. The campus itself feels like a work in progress. That's the best way I can put it. Some buildings feel outdated, some feel brand new. Student life makes up for it though. The people here are some of the most interesting and incredible people I've ever met. Students here care about each other, which sets the university up for a successful student union. If you care about student life and want to feel like you're a part of a community, come to Sussex. If facilities and teaching experience are at the very top of your list, I'd recommend taking a deeper look into your subject area to see if Sussex is right for you.

The quality of accomodation is generally pretty good however there are some issues with broken appliances which is a bad aspect- especially because maintenance does not come fast to fix issues at all. One of the best aspect is that people here are nice,including lecturers and the cafes on campus are also good however the on campus food facilities don't have enough options for people with allergies, making food one of the worst aspects. Another good aspect is the choice of societies.

Lots of brilliant facilities and venues, however Sussex doesn’t have a student union club like some other universities where the student scene on campus is more lively

While there are good resources at hand such as the decent library and plenty of study spaces, there is nothing particularly unique or enjoyable about Sussex university. It tries too hard to be an advertisement but university appears to be like that wherever you go anyway.

The facilities are good and the campus itself gives people motivation to study and work hard. However I've been seeking support for something and I've been sent on a wild goose chase of emails and not really getting anywhere. I also don't think it's fair that students have had loads of lectures cancelled due to strikes, as it's resulting in uni being a waste of money. I also think they are wasting money being spent on new accommodation, when it should be used to up lecturers pay to prevent strikes.

As a mature/parent student, I have a different university experience than many traditional students. When I first started in 2021, there was a lack of focus on mature students, and I felt quite isolated because it seemed as though Sussex University wasn't really geared up for students like me. I tried to find events for mature students as I wanted to find students similar to myself, but I couldn't find any. I did attend one Student Union family day. However, I was the only parent that attended. So to begin, it all felt very isolating. That being said, I found all of the staff to be very supportive, friendly and welcoming. Fortunately, I managed to meet some other mature students in my course, and that was really great. There was also a WhatsApp group already set up by mature students, and various meet-ups were often arranged. As a mature student, you definitely aren't the only one, but it can be difficult to find them as there are still few compared to the majority of younger students. Although, I would expect this to be the case at most universities. The university has some amazing opportunities to travel abroad, and at the end of my first year, I travelled to Ghana, funded by the university, to take part in a summer school programme. This was an incredible experience and the Global Mobility Team was really great at supporting and arranging this. One team member was especially supportive, allowing me time to consider my placement as I had a lot to consider as a parent. She really understood my position and made me feel supported. Without this, I might not have decided to go, so it was really important that this was acknowledged as it made me feel valued as a parent and student. Going into my second year, I can see that the University of Sussex is really implementing some excellent work in supporting minority groups on campus and fostering a sense of belonging. I have become a student connector as part of this programme, so I know first-hand that the university is working with students and are keen to listen to the student's voice and ensure minority groups belong at Sussex. This has also gained me paid employment, and I am learning new skills alongside my academic career. There are currently many socials and events for students like myself, and I think this is a really important and great aspect of studying at Sussex as a mature/parent student. I have found the campus to be very accessible. Parking was an important aspect to me as I commute every day from outside Brighton. There is ample parking, and I have been able to get a parking permit each year now and never struggle to find a space. I think the campus has a really nice feel to it and lots of countryside surrounding it as well as being close to the city. There are lots of places to eat and study on campus. The worst aspect for me has been strikes and how much they can impact on my knowledge. I really value teaching time, and it is a shame that strikes have been a reoccurrence. I understand this is a nationwide issue at universities, but if Sussex worked harder to resolve these issues and understand and appreciate how much they affect students, I would find it hard to fault the university overall. Overall, my experience at Sussex University has been a positive one, and I am happy with my decision to study here.

I love the fact that its all in one campus, it looks like its own little village! The only thing I would mention is that its not very accessible to those who cannot use stairs as I find that the accessible routes tend to take much longer and are quite inconvenient.

The campus at Sussex is great, It has lots of green spaces, wildlife, cafés, bars and places you can go and study. The train Station is no more than a 5-minute walk away from the main area of campus which is great for students commuting by train, if you commute by car then there are plenty of parking spaces and car parks to park in. There are two gym's on campus which you need to pay a membership for, they are very well run and always kept clean, but a few more machines would be appreciated. There are lots of things to do around Sussex such as walk on the downs, go clubbing in Brighton or you can sit on Brighton Beach/go shopping.
