Sort:Latest reviewsall of the tutors and lecturers are so lovely, they make sure you feel supported in your studies
Staff are very friendly and helpful
Campus is easy to access by car, bus or train. The site is clean, and well organised. Its easy to find your way around and staff are always willing to point you in the right direction. Food options are great and varied. Student well-being services are prominent and easy to access
The campus is located very close to Falmer station and has quick and easy bus routes into Brighton which is handy. There are always fun events happening run by the students union. There is always support available from your academic tutor and subject leaders too.
Good fasciitis like the student centre which is convenient and useful also very large and fun to explore
I believe the University of Sussex is a great place to study because it offers unique courses like mine (Law with American Studies). This allowed me to take a unforgettable year abroad in America. The lecturers are friendly, and always provide help when needed. I have also made many friends that will last a lifetime. Another thing that attracted me to Sussex was its location in Brighton. Brighton is a bright place to live, the summers are the best spent by the beach! To improve Sussex, I would update the library. In comparison to the student centre, the library lacks a kitchen, and better lighting. I would also like for the Jubilee lecture hall to have plugs installed, as lectures can be long, and there have been instances where I have had to leave after my laptop ran out of charge.
Overall, studying Neuroscience at my university has been a genuinely positive experience, especially as an international student adjusting to a new academic environment. One of the things I appreciate the most is the campus itself — it’s spacious, green, and easy to navigate, which makes everyday life feel a little calmer. The academic facilities are generally reliable, and I’ve been able to access the equipment and study spaces I need without too much difficulty. The teaching quality in my course has also been a strong point. My lecturers communicate complex concepts clearly, and most of them are approachable when I need clarification or support. When the learning works well, it really feels like the university is invested in helping us grow as independent researchers. That said, there are still areas that could be improved. Student support can feel slow or inconsistent at times, and as someone who joined through direct entry, I occasionally felt like I had to figure things out on my own. It would help if information and guidance were more streamlined, especially for students who didn’t come through the typical first-year route. The Students’ Union also has room to be more engaging and visible — sometimes it feels disconnected from the academic side of student life. Even with these challenges, my overall experience has been meaningful. I’ve met supportive classmates, learned from passionate academics, and found a sense of direction in my studies. With a bit more investment in communication and student services, I think the university could become an even more supportive place to study and live.
The social side is very active and great there’s always something going on and there’s so many socials.
One of the best parts of my uni experience is how supportive the lecturers are. They explain things clearly and are approachable if I need help. I also love the campus environment. It’s friendly, diverse, and there are plenty of comfortable study spaces. One thing that could be improved is the workload timing. Some deadlines fall really close together, and better spacing would make things less stressful. Overall, it’s a great place to study
its a great and friendly place and i love when there is a big campus and every building in a same place (i can walk to my class from my accomadation) i dont have a worst aspect actually everyhing generally alright
My fav part of Sussex is the atmosphere of the campus and the big christmas tree rn :)
It’s an amazing campus in a great location but I think the teaching could be better
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.
I think the campus is beautiful and the people and the tutors, and love the fact that the uni is all in one place, but so far away from th nearest towns. Very Isolated but do love the transport always available.
A really welcoming atmosphere- I always feel safe on campus and there are loads of places I can go and sit for a catch up with friends or a study session. The staff are friendly and approachable.
very good
More academic opportunities like internships and jobs and research projects happening on campus
18-24 years
I think this place is good place to study.Because the people is less in Brighton. This place can bring more happiness for everyone.But in this place,also have some things can be improved,such as some subjects teachers can not to care about the different student.
Everything is quite central on campus, and the student centre is amazing. But some buildings look old.

The student experience is really great here but the campus could be touched up in places and a few more facilities should be available
The lectures are sometimes just reading off the slides
The halls themself are nice, the tenants above us are too noisy
