The best is definitely the food and coffee places there’s so much variety. The downside is probably all the stairs because it’s on a hill
Best aspect is the environment and campus, alongside all the supportive staff and great teaching facilities Worst aspect atleast for me is the social part, it's difficult to make connections
Very diverse and accessible campus
The best thing about Sussex university is the location. It has both the countryside and city. There’s plenty of greenery which is lovely. The downside would be that the content taught in first semester of first year feels a lot like A level content which may be nice for those who haven’t studied subject related to the course previously
The campus is very quiet
Very good uni!
I love the location. I’d like better facilities for example the on campus coop has inflated prices which i’d rather they not have.
The students union and all they provide is really great. However with the university itself it feels like they’re really disconnected from what students actually need (cheaper campus housing, better support)
Love the campus and the nature around. Also I enjoy the curriculum, and the diversity of perspectives that the lectures introduce
I feel very comfortable in my learning environment. There’s everything you could want and need on campus from food places to study areas, to student support and a GP.
It’s good
Love the campus, the location environment and feel are fantastic. Brighton is a great city and a lot of fun to live in.
Good food and support on campus.
some of the building are a bit outdated, but doesn’t affect anything physically just aesthetically would be nice if some of the older buildings could be updated
Great community Nice campus Good location
on campus shops/places to eat are overpriced but other than that it’s great
Great University have enjoyed my last 3 years here


Best aspects is definitely the social life and the course worst aspect is probably financial
Best is the actual content due to the interesting nature but worst is the presentarions
I love the people in my halls but the wifi is awful
