Sort:Latest reviewsThe best aspect of Sussex is probably the campus. I like that everything is really close and I loved living on campus in first year, it felt like a real community. I think my least favourite aspect of the university is how busy the bus stop can get after lectures, but this isn’t the universities fault
Campus is great, However it is kind of far away from the city. Busses can be hard to navigate sometimes, However other than that great uni.
I enjoy that the campus is really green, tho it could have been nicer if it had been closer to Brighton, the journey to go to campus is sometimes a bit long
Best: get to meet many people every day from different places and study at a more knowledgeable level. Worst: the buildings could be built a bit newer and developed
The campus is amazing, but maybe if more pathways were added around the road sides along the outsides of the student accommodations. More bathrooms in the library, and a bigger group study area in the library, and fix all the non working plugs. The feel, environment, people, staff and support are amazing. The lighting around campus at night is also amazing, making sure that you always feel safe. The only place it lacks is the path out of the campus to Brighton where the trees loom over the path.
The campus is nice. The therapy service is useful.
My best aspects of uni experience is the quality of education and number of activities to do in uni aswell I love the location being in a valley because it really gives the peace and quiet you need at times However the only bad aspect is the weather I know its not about the uni but thats the only bad quality i can give.
Accommodation sorting had some issues Made good friends on first arrival Access to facilities is a quick walk to Blends in well with nature
Brighton is a great city to explore , the uni is in good proximity to it . Lectures are well organised
I love Sussex!
The uni is in a nice location surrounded by hills and fields which gives a nice break from the busyness of central Brighton and gives ample opportunity for a mid day break from studying to clear your head. Also the campus has lots of open areas which means you don't feel claustrophobic on site surrounded by nothing but buildings, these areas are also pleasant to sit and eat in chat. Lectures are passionate about both their own performance and yours making it easy to seek for help outside of timetabled lecture times. Personally I am not staying on campus so can't talk about the dorms. Overall a good uni with access to ample support
Great environment Hope the food in eating center can be better

Very friendly to international students, often have campus activities. The school is conveniently located near the train station and bus station However, the school has few accommodations and is far from the city, so daily shopping is not very convenient.
There is such a wide range of courses available and their content is very interesting and taught by passionate lecturers. The location is really nice with a perfect balance of nature and the town (also the 24/7 bus is very helpful). The only downsides are the high prices of the campus food shop (a co-op) and a few occasional problems with heating & poor decorating/maintenance in the accommodations.
It can be improved by cleaning and fixing the outside walls of buildings and adding more decorations/ plants. Especially outside Falmer bar where the students union is. Most of the stands at Eat central close at 7pm. Perhaps in the uk, people eat earlier, but most international students eat later. I think to accommodate to this, it should close at 8pm or at least 7:30pm.

In this school, I think the best thing is the professionalism and reliability of the professors, who often help us solve difficulties and encourage us to find solutions. The worst is that the school dormitory is not soundproofed and the facilities are old, and the maintenance speed is slow.
The professor will consider each student's feelings. For students with poor English, the process is a little faster.
The room is large and has a toilet. But the sounds of the streets and corridors could be heard.
