Sort:Latest reviewsI enjoy the co op on campus, I don't enjoy being so far from Brighton
I love University of Sussex because of how accepting everyone is. They have great facilities such as the library. Everything is within 10 minutes. I love how beautiful the scenery is, especially living in Northfield next to the hills
Sussex is a great uni as they have many different societies you can be a part of
It’s a really great area - really near the sea with great public transport. I think the rent prices are insane so an improvement would be cheaper accommodation and facilities

Facilities are great and very clear advice for student life and academic support Make it easier to contact lecturers for questions about content and exams
Needs to be more modern, not appealing to the eye and it would be nice to have slight more guidance.
Love the campus and course. Accommodation is great! Don't love that the Coop is so expensive, I find that a bit cruel we are all students and they put the most expensive store in the country on campus. Additionally, coop increased their prices by 33% since Ive arrived in the last 3 months.
bets aspects- everyone is very friendly, easy to navigate campus, a lot of shops on campus (helps to get necessities without travelling far)
Sussex is a lovely campus with a very friendly and welcoming feel. It’s close enough to the beach for a day trip but set back enough to have lovely countryside views. It has lots of facilities for studying including cafes, the library, student centre and more.
Best aspect is the amount of support you can find and the people . I enjoy m’y course content . I got in last minute but I’m very glad to be here and would have made it my first choice if I was to apply from scratch. The only downside is the on site grocery shop ,Co-op is very expensive .
The best part about Sussex uni is living in Brighton. The campus also has a positive vibe and the community is very supportive.
Best tips is the environment and the vibes at the university. The negatives are that the university should have more events to connect students together.
Only issues are the amount of construction on campus, and how expensive the supermarket is
Amazing people, the support is good and the general vibe of campus is relaxed. There’s no judgement or pressure it’s a very mixed environment. I think student support could act on things more, and the communication of events isn’t always great so not sure what’s going on all the time. It’s one of the best unis i’ve heard of for a fun and relaxed social life. Campus is beautiful in summer, great for nature walks all around the campus.
people are kind of drab but you can't help that. I love how green the campus is tho! if the buildings weren't just exposed brick and had colour that'd be great. maybe colour code every accom. if we could redesign the east slope reception to make it more funky that'd be cool. ive got some ideas if ur interested
Campus is ideal. Student bars and social life offers many opportunities. The sports facilities and housing are good quality and modern.
Beautiful area and library, lovely lecturers

First gen student
sussex is the best decision i ever made, there’s so much to offer and the location is perfect. besides the obvious things such as being so close to the beach & brighton as a whole, it’s easy access to london too.
overall experience has been excellent
great location
pretty expensive but was clean and had your own bathroom also has a SU bar within northfield
