*Students got a small reward for their timeOverall student experience lovely. Staff always willing to help and and an array of support services available. Some facilities are quite old and occasionally have issues.
The best part of studying at Sussex is the diversity and how it can be improved is the location of the university
Great university and very diverse. I feel there should be more rooms for individual/ small group private study.
Lecturers are really supportive and helpful The gym facilities are quite old and the place is quite small, renovation is needed
I love the open areas to study; there is so much choice depending on whether I want to study alone or with friends
Best aspects = the community that is fostered amongst students Worst aspects = the workload
My experience at the University of Sussex as an international student has been largely positive. The welcoming environment, diverse community, and strong academic programs made me feel at home and challenged me to grow intellectually. The beautiful campus and vibrant city of Brighton enriched my overall experience, while robust support services helped me navigate various challenges. However, the high cost of living and occasional difficulties with social integration and transportation could be improved. Overall, Sussex has provided me with invaluable experiences and connections, making it a great place to study.
The best aspects: -Easy to navigate campus -Accessabke office hours for lecturers -good facilities on campus (shops, student union events, bars, 24 hour library) -An amazing mental health team The worst aspects: -Could do with a cheaper shop on campus, the co op is very expensive
I enjoy my course
The best aspects are definitely all the amazing people i’ve met here. The worst aspects is definitely sharing a kitchen with messy people!
Sussex is the most biodiverse campus in the UK, which is nice when navigating around it (which is very easy to do). It's accessible for all students and is a warm and friendly environment. Very close proximity to Brighton means you get to enjoy city life and the South Downs. You have endless options at Sussex!
Location wise it’s brilliant - I love the on one side you’ve got the beautiful countryside & to the other the incredible vibrant town of Brighton - however transport is expensive (£2 per bus) and I think it would be justifiable for students to get some sort of discount
The campus is beautiful, and it’s lovely being able to explore stanmer park so easily due to the location of the campus.
The campus is lovely and the people are great but the bus ride into brighton is so long after a night out or even just going into brighton in general. It also should be cheaper for students.
It’s a great place to study if you’re into arts as they are very big on their art prgrams and there are many opportunities for artistic students. They could improve student life for STEM students as some lecturers arent as great and the schedule is very packed making life quite stressful.
