Sussex is a good place for education. The teaching and facilities are good. However, the location of the university is very unfortunate. It is very far out of the city, and getting to/from university becomes very challenging, very quickly. This typically results in empty lecture theatres. The university is not supporting of this either, as they expect everyone to attend everything, regardless of the situation.
Very nice location near Brighton and easy access by transport.
18-24 years
First gen student
All the staffs are very nice and helpful.
Need more attention from the professor as sometimes the work is complex and daunting
lovely facilities and support at the university perhaps more acitivities and events regarding careers and internships would be great
best- location, worst- course can be difficult
Have had some trouble with lecturers lack of support for neurodiversity and understanding without judgement. I have enjoyed the freedom of third year and encouragement to develop your own interests.
Best = library 24 hour. Specialties of lecturers in cog science. Varieties of final year options. Falmer bar. Psychology schools mental well-being support
Very expensive, the people are a bit annoying
I like that there is support for my course especially for computer science. Scheduling could be improved to avoid having huge gaps between lectures and not having late in-person lectures e.g after 6pm which could be solved using online lectures using e.g. Zoom
I often book my tutor office hours
There isn’t too much contact time hours but the staff are incredible in Biomed so kind host so many events. They reply quickly and help whenever you need great department to be a part of. I think I could have more seminars ect to have more contact time.
Best- nice facilities Worst- far from town centre
Good
Great place to be (the Downs & Brighton) Good student body Student support could be better
Best is that it’s in Brighton and on a campus so everything is in one place is the best part about it but the student union could definitely be improved!
Need to work on student happiness and funding for clubs
There is lot there to support students. I like the campus the food on campus is quite expensive
4.3
I love the nature and how it is next to stanmer park, also how its away from any business of Brighton. The construction all around is a downside but it is an old university and would need work done on it at some point.
For some classes the seminars are not useful, and also not enough help is given in the first few weeks when it comes to assingments. It was expected that we know what we are doing and not enough guidance was given. Now, enough guidance is given with later assignments.
For the price, they are way too cheaply made, which does not even make sense since Sussex would have to replace things more often so I do not understand why not just make things at least okay quality. I live in the most recently built block in all of the Uni and so many things are broken and damanged already in the few years it has been here.
