Its sick
student union good, especially with rep scheme and communication. better to go into town and do things there as a student than stay on campus.
My faculty and teaching staff are excellent. Everyone is very welcoming and a great community. I am unable to express how I feel if it’s politically popular. Timetabling for my studies this year is not ideal.
The best aspects are the strong community feel and all the support available. The worst aspect is all the stairs.
Sussex campus has a very homely feel, and has some very good views from the east slope accommodation. The uni has very good lecturers and a plethora of interesting and fun societies to join, especially the formula student team which has been a really enjoyable part of my experience so far. The one thing I would say for Engineering / product design is that some facilities are being refurbished at the moment, so it may be a while before we have access to some machines, although we still get to use Crawley Colleges’ workshop for projects.
I like learning
It’s a great place to study it’s just really expensive, even things on campus such as accommodation, coop, transport etc. but they’ve tried to help with some things like £2 meals. But for the amount we pay for tuition they could at least provide free transport on and off campus which would improve uni attendance
It's great.
Student union is pretty good-falmer bar is reasonably priced, accomodation ranges but is very good.
Best: great timetable so far Worst: silverfish infestation in the bathroom (accommodation), non-transparent accommodation fixing stuff process
The transport links are good, but the campus architecture can be very imposing and a bit depressing
The Ubiversity is in an amazing location with great views and convenient bus routes. It's also very close to the train station which makes the commute to campus a lot easier. The only negative is that there isnt much to do on campus in the evenings/nights.
The campus is lovely, very green. All staff are polite and kind.
I think so far it's good overall and I have no qualms
Best - I like the campus lifestyle. Between social and academic factors, it feels like a proper community with lots of events and resources constantly happening. I like walking around to see what stalls or posters are advertising something interesting and new. Worst - in some subjects (not all!) there seems to be miscommunication between the lecturer and the workshop teacher so content and activities can become confusing and stressful due to how unclear they are. Again, this isn't the norm just now and then.
Best experiences would be the atmosphere of studying at a campus university, it’s very inclusive and I’ve never felt excluded while here. Worst experience would just be like minor inconveniences like not having a place to charge my laptop during lectures. It’s honestly a great uni and I’m happy to complete my undergraduate degree here
as i’m a commuting student, the location of the campus is so convenient as it’s less then a 5 minute walk from falmer station. i find myself in the library a lot of the time and i particularly like how spacious it is, with three floors where you can do group work or stidy on your own. there are a lot of fun events going on, i enjoy the market every tuesday!
