I like how many options there are of places to go and study, and the campus is in a really great area. While uni can be really stressful, it’s easy for me to get settled in any of the facilities and get to work.
Overall the teaching is brilliant and the lecturers always willing to help out with any extra questions. The organisation of the actual uni admin and paperwork could be improved but overall I’ve loved my time here
Best aspects of my uni experience has been the sheer amount of socialising that has been made an available to me through the organisation of lots of social events run by the university. The worst aspects would have to be adapting to the support system available there is an abundance of support it’s just knowing where to look for it .
The teachers are all very nice and help a lot, however, some of my seminar class locations are far away
Stunning location. Excellent support. Like it's own little town, has everything you could need on campus. Brighton City centre is 5-10min away by train. Brilliant library. Multiple pubs and restaurants. Lovely staff who want you to succeed.
The buildings are really well kept and there are a lot of great places to study. The staff are friendly and are always willing to help students out, especially if they are struggling with something.
The business school receives the most funding, and so has the most modern facilities. Makes sense, but isn’t amazing for everyone else. School isn’t *too* far from town, but not super close either - but has stores etc so it’s fairly substantial living on-campus. Overall it’s kinda nice. Campus culture is much more laid back than I thought it would be, which was a relief.
best aspects, location is great, close enough to brighton city centre and have starmer park on my doorstep worst aspects, my accommodation (lewes courts), the shops on campus are way too expensive and the buses going down to lewes courts are awful
I like this school so much! Nice place to study

It’s a really lovely environment and very supportive. The only negative would be that it’s a little out of town but still very pretty. I haven’t rated student union very high as it isn’t a facility i have used yet. all the aspects of the university i have used have been wonderful. i studied at a different university for a while before dropping out, and it didn’t even slightly compare to sussex.
It’s good Uni regarding the facilities and support.
It’s in the best environment ever with the countryside, the beach and a city all on your doorstep. The campus is wonderful and everyone is extremely nice.
More support for students. More clear understanding of what is expected of us
Best: - great feel to campus - fantastic eating places - really welcoming staff Improvements: - old feel to campus
So far from the town
I love how safe the campus feels and how vibrant it is with bustling school activities.
Strikes were awful second year. I was only physically in uni for 15 days which myself and my classmates are still furious about.
perfect
Really great for student living, great accommodation options and lots of fun. The buildings could be more modernised and student support could be better, but overall a great uni.
