I think the location is quite far from city centre and I can just live on campus in first year and then I have to move out side. It’s quite far for me for someday I just have come to school studying 1 hour
The best aspect of my uni experience is attending all my lectures, as they are fascinating! The worst part, is the accommodation, because we keep having problems with the bathrooms showers.
The school environment is particularly excellent and the learning atmosphere is particularly friendly. As our computer students, we have a wealth of practical computer courses. This is enough for us to practice what we have learned in class. The only thing I would like to comment on is the way out of the school. I hope it can be more spacious. As a person who often walks back to my residence, I hope it can make the sidewalk safer instead of just a narrow one with no safety measures, which is really too dangerous.
The best part of the school is that the learning atmosphere is very good. The school provides a lot of quality education and a lot of learning space. Secondly, in my original country, there is not such an excellent natural environment as sussex University, which gives people a relaxed and happy feeling
best: > location, convenience > nightlife > library facilities > eat central! worst: > overpriced cafes
the student support is rly good and some teachers are excelente at their jobs, however some don’t know how to teach and the whole class struggles w the content. The facilities are quite old as well, i feel like they could improve some lecture halls.
Lots of study places. Lots of places to get food and drinks. Needs better printing resources
The best aspects of my uni experience at Sussex have been the support, acceptance and understanding from both my peers and the staff. The worst aspects of my uni experience have been the general transition from living at home to living alone, as well as the general illness and flues which come with talking to new people in a new environment.
Brighton is a great place to be a student and the English course is enjoyable to study.
Easy to access support system around the campus and great professors
The campus has a very friendly feel to it with lots of places to study and also socialise with friends too. It could in some places have better wifi! But apart from that is a really good place to learn.
I’ve done a foundation year at another university and all I could say it that I’m really glad I decided to switch to Sussex. The location, student life, facilities and places where I can get food and groceries are so great. I’m and international student so settling into the UK wasn’t quite easy, but I felt really happy and familiar with my way around the country once I came to Sussex because there was so much to do around campus and Brighton which is just 10 minutes by train.
Great library spaces / there could be better IT equipment
I love Sussex it’s such a big but comforting uni. There always help from security guards or student support if you need that. Overall I really enjoy my university


The best things about sussex uni is that you always feel safe on the campus and it is easy to meet lots of people who have similar interests to you. One thing i would improve is having more social areas in the residential receptions as it can be hard to meet people in the blocks when there isn’t too much of an option to be social.
I enjoy that the lectures are recorded which means that i can watch them back if i forgot anything or wasn’t able to go to it. The contact hours are a good balance with the normal life and i won’t feel worried that i am behind as i have a lot of time to do stuff.
The social areas need to be more enjoyable and be able to promote socialising as the tv room has limited things.
