Love my university so much, the people and teaching and campus is great. I don’t know much about the student union though.
Student support is amazing Accommodation is great People are nice Needs more shops on campus and bigger gym
Really friendly uni, lovely campus! Good student support in terms of mental well-being, good library for studies and cute social spaces! Sometimes it feels like the uni is unequipped to deal with the volume of students on the psychology course in terms of support for students, quality of feedback and teaching, and general physical resources, e.g., lecture theatres over-capacity.
It’s a great experience for people looking to move away from home to really get the university experience. Good teachers and staff to help you out whenever you need.
The university is very supporting, and all the staff work extremely hard to provide the best education, however the campus is ugly and there just isn’t enough of everything (eg study spaces, funding, opportunities) to help students
Beat aspect is location and the people, worst is that everything is overpriced and lots of renovations going on.

The nightlife is fun, the lecturers are good, the resources provided are useful, the timetable is not too much, the homework is relevant and counts toward your grade.
The best part is the amount of support especially for underprivileged students, in terms of financial aid and opportunities. The only negative I can think of is the cost of living, but that’s not down to the uni
The staff are really friendly and helpful, and as a trans woman I felt very welcome by the community here. The facilities (student accommodation rooms) are good enough in my opinion. Not spectacular, but still very good, though I come from a pretty poor background so perhaps I don’t see the issues others do. Regardless, still a very nice place to study. I feel welcome, the staff are nice, and it’s in a really nice area.
A beautiful university with amazing student care and support! The campus is beautiful and well facilitated, many places to eat, sit, study and relax. Wonderful community and student union! Very well updated university and very modern, and activist! The library is amazing and huge, many computers to use for free. I study film and there’s many different equipment types to use at any point.

Very inclusive
Sports facilities are expensive
There’s construction all the time. Buildings are so far from each other. Student center is beautiful!
The teachers are always accessible and willing to help, and there are lots of resources to help students achieve their full potential.
A lot of great spaces to study
The facilities, library and overall feel of campus is very good. The fact that it is right next to a train station I very ideal to get to campus easily. As a driver I feel like the parking situation could be managed a bit better as I have to pay £2.50 every time I park and can only park for a few hours until I have to move my car.
The best: I love how there are many places that i can study like the library and student centre, but also more social areas like Falmer bar and the piazza cafe. I like in east slope Lullington and we also have study rooms which means i can get work done until late, and with no distractions. I also loved freshers week, as I feel like the uni really made the effort to have different things for everyone. There were a huge range of societies and social nights, where I have met so many amazing people who have similar interests to me. The worst: The prices of food and things on campus, the coop charges things at such unreasonable prices, that my shopping never ends up being under £20 even with only 3 items. For a student campus I would have appreciated more realistic prices that people can afford, as most people are only being able to use their student finance money or loans to pay. Maybe a switch to a cheaper, more affordable company? To an asda or aldi?
The teaching is at a great standard, the uni offers learning environments which are suitable for people obtaining degrees, overall a really great uni but it just feels short handed in terms of societies
4.3
The best aspects of my Uni experience are the friends I’ve made and the support and encouragement I’ve received. The worst aspect would be the adjustment period into uni life, but that seems to have subsided.
I like that for some of my modules I have the option to join online on zoom. It really helps when you can’t make it to the lecture hall. The course hours are good and the lecturers make themselves available for support.
The value for money I can confidently say is good for my residence hall. The bathroom is very clean. The kitchen is very spacious. The property feels really safe and the location is really calm and convenient. It’s easy to walk to the library and all my lecture halls. The cleaners and maintenance crew are great. There’s also a phone in the kitchen which allows you to easily dial the reception and security when needed.
