Sort:Latest reviewsGreat location. Can choose the nature nearby for a stroll or take a trip into Brighton city centre. I think it could improve the quality of teaching in seminars, as some lecturers are clearly not engaging students and it makes it very demotivating to be surrounded by bored students.
best aspects: friendly people, very welcoming, as I'm in exchange, it might be hard to discover an unknown place and meet new friends, but I really feel at home at Sussex. I really appreciate all the support we got as foreigners, to help us get through the essay-writing process which was not familiar for me. And last but not least, the campus is lovely, and it's really enjoyable to have such a beautiful place to study, surrounded with green areas.
A lot of Sussex advertisements markets the Jubilee building and the Business School. Though for engineering students, I realise that I did not have to chance to enjoy those nice buildings and lecture hall with luxuries interiors since our cohort have been given rather old buildings tucked away up the road (Chichester, Richmond, JMS).
The places to have quiet study are amazing and there’s lot of help on campus in terms of degrees and well being.
The course is great. The location is pretty good. I've made some great friends. Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sussex so far and I hope to finish my degree on a high!

It is very hard to get some support when you need help from school. Most systems are complex, inefficient and difficult to use in practice.
Nice and chill environment both lovong wise and academic wise. Lots of varied places to study. Bit marred by the construction.
The lecture rooms are great especially in the Jubilee building and the student centre- very updated and modern. The library is also very big and is a lovely place to work with lots of places to sit, but a little improvement that could be made is possible some more charging ports around the library and student centre as when busy it is hard to find somewhere with a charging port. However some buildings are becoming more outdated, especially buildings such as the John Maynard Smith building, where a lot of my labs are held. They seem to have leaks and issues there every now and then and the lighting is fairly dim it is not the nicest place to work in. Improvements to some of the older buildings - even just brighter lights and a coat of paint would really increase the enjoyability of learning in these areas.
The social life on the university is phenomenal. There are many different societies and social events across societies and departments that make it so easy to meet with people that I don't share course with. The support I had as a student has been great so far. The university has plenty of room to develop more accessibility friendly campus and teaching sessions. There is a lot of progress successfully gone already and so I believe that the university will be able to tackle these demands in the best way possible.
Cultural diversity is the best. Cleaning is the worst.
The uni feels very inclusive and supportive. I’ve had any struggles with my mental health, and my course leaders and lecturers have been a phenomenal help. The costs of food and utilities on campus is really disappointing. It’s difficult to afford anything on campus.
Uni experience has been great, everything about sussex uni makes you feel welcome and it’s close to London. The location is quite far as the university is located in falmer.
The best is the facilities of the Fulton building; both lecture halls and seminar rooms are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are well kept. The worst is the current construction on campus which makes walking through the heart of campus an unpleasant experience.
The mood of the uni was good and various events were helpful to meet new people but the location was so far from city
University is amazing. Staff is lovely, facilities are very technological and comfortable and people are extremely welcoming. Additionally, classes are interesting and intriguing. I feel safe and welcomed within the university and would recommend to all students that want a welcoming place to live.
With the university being in Brighton city, there is so much for students to do and see which is great. There is nothing wrong with this university, in my opinion.
Really pretty surroundings and close to city centre VERY expensive tho, both on and off campus
Large campus, so often running between locations for lectures. Otherwise nice setting within the Downs Park
Great location and very pretty
4.3
i love the look and feel of the campus, however mental health support needs a bit of improvement.
the lectures are interesting and engaging, however there needs to be more support for those who may find it difficult to attend lectures
The halls i am in are a good location, however there is no central heating despite the heating in the individual rooms working very well.
