Have made the transition from Canada to the UK a really easy one. They lecturers are great and always willing to help. It’s truly been a great experience studying abroad
University of sussex is a beautiful University. The community is very friendly and the facilities on campus are amazing. One of the best parts of this University is that there are many places on campus where one can study. One way the university could be improved would be the housing support
There are lots of great things about the university of Sussex. It looks absolutely magnificent, with tall buildings towering over the countryside landscape. The location is almost perfect, being a short bus journey from the coast of Britain, and the Brighton City Centre. The only problem with the location, is that there are only two supermarkets on campus, which makes buying the range of essential items needed for uni difficult.
I haven’t had any bad experiences during my time at sussex, this is my second year in the university and so far everything and everyone has been great. Anything i need is usually very easy to get, help is provided in every corner of the university. Staff is super super super helpful and friendly. Education gets a 5 star rating from me, everything is taught in a professional interesting way that keeps you mysterious of what is coming next. Amazing University, very happy i chose Sussex.
It is near the beautiful city of Brighton and the sea, the campus is also very close to the countryside and to amazing landscapes such as the seven Sisters for example. I love walking around campus as it is so beautiful and full of life and nature. The only bad side is that it is almost too big so I get lost pretty easily in it!
Best: Campus, Student life, facilities
It would be nice if it were closer to the city centre (travel times are sometime quite long), but the overall atmosphere is really good.

The campus is amazing. It’s very open and therefore feels inviting to go to. Commuting to uni is easy for me and isn’t that expensive thanks to how local it is to Brighton. Thanks to my course, I have access to a range of equipment that I can borrow at any time which is great! Staff are friendly and the university itself is very inclusive. I’m very glad I chose here :)
Teaching style is very different from other university's it help us to understand everything very easily
Some sport clubs are less accessible for international student
i love the campus and the uni and the facilities
It’s a beautiful campus very peaceful you will have a peaceful problem less university experience the modules are very interesting and Brighton is beautiful
I love how many facilities there are and how nice the tutors are and how willing they are to help and take time to talk to us and help
The uni is a campus uni so it’s very easy to walk around and you always feel safe even at night because security is always on shift. Student bars are great to go to with your mates in the evening they are really affordable and always have great deals on. The education is great and very personalised and there are so many resources to access that make it just a bit easier.
Lovely setting near to the Sussex downs, as well as the coast and Brighton town. Very green campus and great bus connections.
Could be improved if there was better transport to the uni.
