It’s a nice location with great student life. There’s lots of support for students and communication between the university and students is excellent.
I love how green the campus is and how close it is to the South Downs. The lectures are great and there is a lot of online support you juts have to look for it properly. I appreciate all of the new refurbishments being made but I think it is important to not over modernise the spaces and keep them a relaxing place to go in-between studying. The £2 meal is a great addition and very helpful but if possible could do with some more variation. However all in all my experience at Sussex has been great.
good staff and teachers great transport links not very supportive of finance for international students the finance team does not considerate international students' financial situation
Currently, I live on campus. There are supermarkets, student union shops, bars and cafes. There are variety of facilities on campus so, I enjoy living here. And also, as an Asian, I am so happy to have Asian supermarket on campus. There are few places that I can get boiled water and microwaves. So, if there are more places to eat or having lunch with my lunch box, I’d be so happy.
I really like living in brighton and learning about my course. I have enjoyed making new friends

Those of the faculty that I have spoken to/been taught by have been super nice and really supportive. The team in charge of giving study/exam concessions were understanding and helpful - so I feel really supported not only by my lecturers and seminar tutors but by the university as a whole. There have been useful and interesting guest speakers on occasion. My course has been interesting and I have met a range of people I look forward to socialising with.
My course is taught in person, but all the lectures were recorded and uploaded - which was really helpful when I was off sick one day. I have four lectures and four seminars a week, so I typically spend 8 hours of my week in contact time (not including workshops, if there are any on). My tutors have also had zoom meetings for me outside of their office hours on occasion, which was super convenient (especially since I commute in and can't make certain office hours).
