Sort:Latest reviewsThe University is a fantastic place to study given its great library and student centre facilities. Also, the online access to books is very helpful and widely appreciated. The canteen offers lots of diverse foods for all types of diets and cultures which is fantastic. The University could be improved by having more mental health awareness that is celebrated on campus. I feel it has not been spoken about how university can be a a tricky environment to be in and everyone may feel the same but this has not been raised. I also feel seminar teachers could be more reassuring and sympathetic and maybe have mental health more on their mind as well, whilst talking to students about work etc. I feel the more teachers can try to relate with students this makes the students like the teachers more and want to do better.
Best part is that the lectures are always interesting and I am never bogged down by work. Worst part is I live off campus so have no friends here
need more career support and mentoring opportunities
The best aspects of Sussex is definitely the facilities, there’s so many places to study as a group or independently. The variety of places to eat brings a great social aspect for me and my friends. The people you meet are all so lovely and helpful too! Especially when I first started
Overall, I think Sussex has a great sense of community, and it is very welcoming! There is a club/society for everyone. I think the only thing that could be improved is the overall look of the campus. However, this is more just an aesthetic preference.
Great support, glad I was able to transfer
Sussex has changed my life over the last 5 years. It offers extensive support and career advice. A long with is location right beside the sea, it is a perfect place to study. If I was to improve it, I would advise that they advertise the university more to school students and promote the research intensity.
The campus very walkable and inviting and I love how the library stays open 24 hours, not the best social scene at least where I am staying.
The campus is nice and has so much potential but there has been construction work going on for ages with nothing being visibly done which lets it down and noisy. Good location. Expensive to eat on campus.
Feels too far off from essentials (supermarkets for example), would like to see more of these integrated in the construction works Buildings aren’t entirely accessible, accommodation feels very old and could use renewal Besides this staff are very welcoming and open to help, has made settling in a lot quicker and easier

The staff are really helpful. I got requested for a work letter from my employer. They give the letter to me in two days. I am really happy with what I am having.
Nice location and campus which currently doesnt look its best because of construction. But still nice. Great student support and helpful kind lecturers
Great uni, lovely city and amazing people :)

Have study spaces with different atmospheres but it’s too crowded

The best part I feel is meeting like minded people who are ambitious and career oriented. This along with the career talks make it a great experience. Greater employment opportunities and placements for students in their desired career is something I feel that could be improved.
great location, student support for disabilities is great, amazing study abroad opportunities
