The campus is absolutely brilliant, it is covered in greenery and still has amazing facilities that are only minutes from the student accommodation. The location of the university is perfect for any student being just 10 minutes from Brighton, and having immediate access to all of the luxuries in town. On campus the students' union run great food and drink outlets including really cheap bars and a shop - on top of that the uni has a great food hall and another shop.

The campus is a reasonable commute for off-campus accommodation and student living areas. Unfortunately, the videos and tours of the campus do not do the campus justice. My favourite area to study is the Attenborough Centre- it is a building for art courses, but the ground floor cafe has huge windows where the sun directly shines through. It's super modern whilst overlooking a beautiful scenery. The support in terms of financial aid for lower income is fantastic and disability support has also been great. I've heard of the £2 hot meals on campus which is so affordable. However, in terms of student support I think it could be improved. The little contact you receive from your tutor is really disappointing. I previously attended University of Leeds and the support there was fantastic in terms of disabilities, councillors, and tutors. I think more 1-1 and possibly having the option to choose your tutor, or even an option for a preference of gender, ethnicity (for minority groups) etc. I understand that students wouldn't all receive their preferences, but it is especially important for those in minority groups to be able to access the support they need. I personally do not feel comfortable confiding in a male due to my personal experiences and this should be an option. Otherwise, students may feel they have no one to speak to. Having a good rapport with your advisors is so important for development, but if you don't feel safe to confide in someone and feel you'd be better suited to another, you should be able to express this. Having a quick questionnaire at the start of the course could really benefit some students in having their say on who supports them throughout their academic career.

University of Sussex is situated within the beautiful landscapes of East Sussex! I have the view of the fields and cows right from my accommodation on campus! One of the perks of studying here is that the 24 hr library is so accessible having a range of facilities and study areas that cater to any of your needs. From comfy sofas, to closed off noise cancelling areas to meeting rooms and a cafe! Additionally, Sussex has great food service having many cafes and kitchens that have a variation of food. Additionally having two bars on campus is a bonus! Through other students I have been recommended the societies, again the options are so diverse so therefore speaks to everyone in some way. In terms of improvement I’d suggest a consistency with wifi and service at Northfields accommodation as the connection is quite poor and multiple times a day I find that the wifi doesn’t connect to my phone from my room. Additionally, in terms of the cost of the living it is hard to comprehend how expensive living in Northfield (and east slope as they’re the same price) is especially when our local shop is a Co op which is ridiculously priced! With that being said the student centre are reliable and do a offer a great support for those that need it so I would recommend. :)

Turning left out of the university, you end up on a dual carriageway. Turn right out of the university and you're walking in Stanmer Park. For a university campus that's a bus or train away from any kind of civilisation, you'd think it'd provide opportunities to socialise on campus. The Student Union, located in a rather large building, does very little to encourage any form of socialising, however. Sussex was not my planned university to attend, though due to unforeseen circumstances (a death in the family), I missed out on going to the University of Warwick after not achieving the grades they were seeking. I have visited friends at Warwick, Birmingham, Nottingham and Bristol Universities, most of which have a club on campus and thriving societies, whreas at Sussex, the SU's main concern always seems to regard being 'woke' or promoting minorities. Of course, it's important to raise issues regarding inequality, but as someone from a minority, I'd also enjoy making friends and being able to network with others on campus. I never thought a university could be so pin-drop silent. Most of the people I've spoken to share a similar opinion, with their flatmates being the only ones they've actually had a chance to properly get to know. Warwick, located away from any major town, has its SU put on clubs at least twice a week, with a strong emphasis on joining societies and being active when part of them; Sussex has a long list of socieities that are in fact inactive and 'up for adoption'. The University seems to be turning a blind eye to existing issues, and is instead choosing to go ahead with a £200m development project, rather than modernising parts of campus that are stuck in the 60s. Teaching staff have been warm and welcoming, and catering services are impressive. I'm situated in the most modern accomodation, but along with others, have experienced mould and damp in my room from small amounts of rain. The Student Centre is an impressive building and Student Services are approachable. The sports facilities are decent. I've read multiple reviews online that state the University is let down by its student satisfaction ratings, and I agree that if students were more satisfied and if current cracks in the wall are patched up before other walls are created, Sussex would climb the University tables. I enjoy the flexibility my course offers, with Sussex being the only place that runs it, and the Business School provides a nurturing environment. If the SU listened to the people it represents, it itself would receive a better reception and more students would feel inclined to involve themselves within it. It instead chooses to represent the few rather than the many, when other SU's seek to represent everyone and as I have seen, do a rather good job of doing so. Warwick's SU, for example, puts on a Pride themed club for members of the LGBT+ community and its allies, but will also put on a club for all. Sussex is in a prime location being so close to Brighton, and only an hour's train from London. I have few complaints about the teaching, with only few cancelled lectures as a result of strike action. I also can't complain about the housing team, who have responded quickly to any matter and have resolved any issues. Staff are approachable on the whole, and grades and feedback are thorough. It's the social aspect of the University that lets it down massively- and I understand that's not the focus of a place of education, though socialising decreases lonliness, encourages networking, connecting and finding new friends, keeping people happy, and in turn they should perform better academically too. Someone low and lonely is bound to not achieve as highly.

The campus feels like a community and is safe. I love the diversity of students and lecturers. The location of campus is great in relation to Brighton and the beach and transport is easy to navigate. The university is also great at communication with students.

Sussex is a great place to study! Everything about is a lovely, the support from tutors, other students, onsite facilities (circuit laundry doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so that's a plus), campus is visually attractive... theres so much to say. My only problem is the current construction works for the new West Slope accomodation (which unfortuneately is right outside of my flat) and elsewhere on campus, but I understand, however, that these works are being done to improve the university further in the future, so this deosn't feel like that big of a deal.

The uni has a very homely feel and is very involving during the day as your walk through campus. The bars are very busy all throughout the day and always entertaining. The night life around sussex was very good in freshers week and after that brighton was the place to be! The facilities like the library are always clean and tidy and always ready for use when you need it which is perfect. My accommodation (east slope) is lovely so I’m very pleased with it and the view from my flat is incredible. Overall sussex uni is the the best choice I made!

It is a great place to study because of how well connected it is to surrounding locations such as Brighton. On the whole lecturer’s have been good and really helpful. However, more lecture halls are required as lecture are often spread out and finish later in the day than ideally they should. This is because there are not enough lecture halls for all of lecturing to take place earlier in the day.

The university of Sussex is absolutely amazing. It is inclusive, academic, enjoyable and all around a fantastic place to be! I have already completed 4 years university in Canada and the university of Sussex surpasses my experience there by far! I have wonderful connections with professors and lecturers. My food options are fabulous. I love the friends I have made and the content of my course! Great experience

Sussex is a fantastic place for students looking to study whilst getting involved with current affairs, such as environmental issues. Your opinions feel heard and there are so many opportunities to meet likeminded folk through the diverse range of societies available at Sussex. Course coordinators are constantly checking in and offering one-to-one to support and responding to any queries new students may have. There are many extra curricular activities as well that will help you to stand out and start thinking about a future career. Sports and social life at Sussex is also extremely lively with there being multiple places to get drinks and meet up on campus. Those wanting a perfect mix of urbanised life whist keeping in touch with nature (given all of the fanstastic places there are to walk near Sussex, such as the South Downs). My one critique would be a lack of vegan options in some of the on site eating facilities, but improvement are continuing to be made in this area.

I love my course, and I highly rate all the tutors I have and the course material; for me, my degree is far better than I expected. I feel entirely supported, and I know who I need to speak to should I need help academically or pastorally. My only gripe is with Canvas, the platform used; it needs to be more uniform across every module. The campus is situated in a national park and is very close to the city centre; the transportation is also spot on with loads of buses, trains and a decent cycle path. The campus is quite extensive, and there is lots of greenery, which is nice on the one hand, but when you have back-to-back seminars at opposite ends of the campus, it's almost impossible to get to the second one on time. There is a new 'student centre' which is brilliant with lots of excellent facilities, but it's at the back end of campus, so it's quite a walk from everywhere else. The library is perfect; the staff are accommodating; however, when it gets hectic, the Wifi slows to a stop at certain times of the day, and then it becomes impossible to research/study. The student union is brilliant, is very supportive, and hosts loads of activities; however, the building is situated in so a Grade 1 listed building which means nothing can be done to it inside or out and consequently, in some of its rooms, it's freezing and or damp. The food and drink facilities are pretty decent; there is Eat Central, which only has one vegan option per day and is usually heavily carb based, so if you have food intolerances, go anywhere else. Some other places, though, are pretty cool, and we have an on-campus Starbucks. In terms of other facilities, we have two shops, the Coop and Taj; we also have a pharmacy, a dentist and doctors on campus, so if you living on campus as well, you, in theory, wouldn't need to leave. However, the prices in the Coop, in particular, could be more student-friendly. From a social life perspective, I'm a mature student; we are 10% of the student population, so there is a tiny community, and we are spread across dozens and dozens of courses. What this means is you can sometimes feel relatively isolated, and being 30 plus, I'm even more isolated as 9% of the mature students at Sussex are under 30. The university puts on activities for adult students, as does the student union. You have to be proactive about it and seek out these opportunities yourself. The final thing is about the buildings themselves; some of the older buildings have the most complicated layout known to humanity, so if you decide to come to Sussex when you get your timetable, spend a couple of hours during welcome week locating all your lecture and seminar rooms to avoid the stress of getting lost and bring extra layers if you get cold quickly. Most spaces are cold.
