The university is really active and fun, there is always something going on!!
It has great student support and worst would be some lecturers are very hard to understand
The courses are already bringing in inclusivity, it would be good if they kept improving this, making students feel more seen and heard
Close to forest and park!
Had a good teaching experience Psychology building needs improvement and renovation to improve student overall experience
Great location in Brighton and lots of creative experiences to engage with. Not too accessible for disabled students.
The campus has loads of places to study, relax and hang out with friends or even alone. The campus has great links to Brighton including trains and buses and bicycle hire! I think it could be improved by adding a variety of food in Eat Central as the food served feels very similar and repetitive
Student supports here are the most sincere and accessible I have ever encountered. They really do help you to the very edge and that’s so heartwarming. One thing that could be improved is the quality of student’s handouts or materials. There should be a standardised handout format that every lecturers are able to use so that it won’t confuse the students, especially some that are practically unreadable.
University of Sussex is a great place. Lots of welcoming and friendly staff, and tons of study spots on campus!
The uni has a good atmosphere with plenty of bars and cafes. the uni has been a construction sight for majority of my time at sussex
I like the place and the people. It can be a tad isolating sometimes
I’ve really enjoyed the campus layout of the university as it made it easier for me to adjust to university life. The campus has shops as well as a pharmacy, post office and other facilities. This made me feel less overwhelmed when i first moved into my accommodation. If i could improve anything it would be the way students are taught about online resources for their course, although these are easy to use they can be tricky to navigate if nobody has taught students the main features of the canvas page.


Great place to study and great student support
Great course content
Very far from lectures and better options at the university. Single beds too
