Loved the Arrival weekend parties :) No bad aspects yet

Sussex has a beautiful and welcoming campus with great facilities. The teaching staff are lovely and truly care about their subjects. Student support has been fantastic, especially for disability support. I’ve quickly been given advice on any problems I’ve faced and the staff go above and beyond for the students.
I’ve tried a real campus experience and I feel like here at US I couldn’t ask for more! There’s always lots of activity and support for international students: it felt like home. I love that the campus is the middle of green and nature, that everyone is so kind and open. One bad aspect? Maybe my accommodation… the university should renew some places!

Love it
Environment is nice and one of the best campuses
Best: Lovely lecturers / I enjoy my course / Nice peers / Student Union take good care / My DSA Support Staff with the uni are fantastic Worst: Communication with staff / Facilities with housing is slow and poor / Rent is way too high / Slow emails and replies
Nice University, good meals, good support
more study spaces in more buildings or better space out the cafes and stores
The people are so friendly with lots of societies to choose from. The library is huge with lots of resources including a wellbeing room. There are many facilities for food and drink although I can rarely justify spending the money for the products (but they do have £2 meals every weekday)
they keep making the campus look nice and cozy for the students, and the support fo student is good
I like the campus although it feels like there aren’t enough spaces to hangout with friends and study without spending money
Everyone is always happy and it’s never a dull moment on campus as there’s always something happening regardless If there’s no Events. Your flat mates will ggurentee you a great night or even a chill night.
I love that the campus is surrounded by nature and I love all the societies that the univeristy has to offer. I also love that the university has very good transport links into Brighton, making it cheap and easy to travel. To improve, it would be better if there were more events that the student union held throughout the year.
I think what makes Sussex so great is that there so many people from different parts of the world meaning everyone has different life experiences and cultures that can be shared this can make the campus more accepting and accessible for everyone, also I love how it is a campus uni and everything is all in the same place making it very convenient and lively ,it gives the university a less intimidating atmosphere

I love how open and friendly everyone is. I feel like the university culture is very supportive and non-judgmental. You can have out of the box interests and not have to worry about feeling judged. On the academic side: I do enjoy the teaching style, especially the workshops. But sometimes I feel like the content difficulty scales up too quickly from one lecture to another.
The lectures are very hands on And being that the cohort size is so small, you get more one on one contact time with what is essentially an expert in your chosen feel. They lectures are also always willing to just have a chat about the field, unrelated to the course itself, which just helps to further your interest.
Spacious and very luxurious. You definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth and are receiving a high quality product. I loved every second of living here.
