good uni
Really inclusive institution with wonderful staff. Amazing support and understanding for disabled students. Campus is in a great location and makes for optimal student life. Frequent student evens take place and great transport links to the city centre. The campus Southern Co-op is really expensive and there are limited options for convenience stores on campus that are affordable. Student accommodation prices this year have also drastically increased leading to many new students this year choosing to live off campus and having the extra hassle to travel to and from campus. Otherwise, campus is really memorable and makes for a beautiful place to study.
The University of Sussex is organized as a campus, making it very convenient to move around within the Uni. There are also various cafes in different buildings, making it easy to have lunch on campus. In particular, Eat Central in Bramber House offers affordable meals, helping students save on living expenses. However, one drawback is the study space. I mainly study in the library or the study center, but during exam periods, seats are always in short supply, so I end up wandering around looking for an empty spot. I wish there were more of these facilities.
Friendly staff and Tutors
The library is a great place to study and it's very clean. However for living on campus, my accommodation has had a lot of maintenance issues already.
Best part is the location is good and environment is good and has a big park behind. Bad side is not enough entertainment facilities such as piano, sports court
I love the university.
Great place to live with a bit of everything here city seaside countryside. Lots to do and lots of places to eat drink go out etc. Transport is good there is a football stadium if you like football. Uni in lovely, good campus and accommodation nice. Only downside is it’s major expensive and science students didn’t get a reading week when everyone else did
Great people, lovely campus, good times.
great support for the students
Best experience would be sitting in the fields with my friends Worst experience is certain aspects of my lewes court flat that should’ve been renovated as it is such a well designed accommodation with beautiful exterior was disappointing to see the inside
The campus has a great look surrounded by nature. There are good amount of facilities such as coffee shops, cafes taht offer variety of food. I particularly like our library that is very spacious. It does get crowded during the week but it’s easy to book private rooms to study with your friends.
The university is situated in a great area, with lots of places for student enrichment and different activities, and makes a great social hub for meeting people. While it may not be the most convenient place to traverse practically sometimes, and it definitely takes a while to learn where you need to go for certain services, overall it is still a very good place to study.
The uni makes you aware of so much support and resources that are available. There's never a lack of things to do on campus, and there’s a variety of spaces to accommodate all types of people, from bar nights to quiet nooks. The grocery store and cafes on campus are quite expensive, but it’s manageable.
Its great
I love the location
It has an amazing library, I love studying and doing work there. The area is also lovely and the only issue is the construction it’s quite loud.
