Sort:Latest reviewsThe best experiences so far has been the students. However the worst aspects has been the weather
Everything
It is secluded and clear from distraction on the campus, with lots of facilities to chose from
Nice
The food is quite expensive at the market and at the local shops on campus. It’s a shame for a university.
The teachers are very nice Few buses come to school in the morning
Love the campus, natural and beautiful environment with lots of things to do and eat at.

I enjoy the student centre. Lots of kind understanding professors in the school of psychology - just a shame this doesn't seem to have extended to other disciplines. Student Union's a hot disorganised mess. Lots of the toilets don't seem that functional but great green places and progressive attitudes shared.

The best aspect is the student engagement events and all the extra services offered by both the student Union and university. Worst aspect is bathrooms need to be cleaned more frequently

The best thing about the university is the people I met here. The community I have been joining and the friends I have been making are just very supportive and friendly. And the lecturers and teaching assistants are very helpful and always make sure students are not behind. Getting quality teaching support academically and other student support, such as mental health mentors, makes it a great place to study. The only aspect I wish the uni could improve is making the campus more vibrant by having a falmer market very often.

Socially, since being at uni there hasn't really been a dull moment. Drinking culture is pretty large at all uni's and the Sussex campus bars are fun, cheap and the facilities are good so that's nice. The lecturers are great and really accommodating. My accommodation on campus is great but unfortunately even though it is for the best, there is a lot of construction happening at the moment that's loud and quite ugly. Certain paths are shut down due to said construction and certain commodities too. However constant feedback is asked for by the university emailing our outlook asking questions about what needs improving on campus whilst construction is underway and generally the students opinions on the campus etc. A lot of facilities could do with some renovations but I have full faith that the university is aware. Location is great, I love Brighton but it can be overwhelming when constantly surrounded by tourists etc so the position of campus is great, loads of public transport that runs back and fourth and consistent night buses when you want to go clubbing etc. Overall great uni and great campus!
Academically, I believe that Sussex is an amazing university, you can tell how renowned the professors and curriculum is. The student life is also one of the best in the UK, both on and off campus. I do think, however, that all the other areas of university life could be improved, such as student support, societies, and the campus facilities.
The best part of Being a student at Sussex, is the inviting, and warm environment- be it the faculty, or my peers; especially as an international student.- the location of campus is perfection as it is surrounded by nature, not to mention it is very close to Brighton Beach. Where Sussex can improve is at providing academic support to apply the knowledge to the real world-career wise.

Campus is green, could be improved through cheaper on campus catering
Best aspects involve lots of study spaces and relaxing areas as well as social spaces to meet people and engage with other support services, such as the student centre. It could be improved by student representatives being more vocal and engaging with students more as lots of people were not aware of the presence of a student body.
Has a very good campus with lots of options of places to study, eat and lots of societies. Places such as the library could be more accessible
It’s location in the South Downs promotes a good balance between work and opportunities to relax.
Best experience was meeting new people. Worst experience was adjusting to the weather.
It’s a very good and calm community which makes it really easy and helpful for me as an international student. The bus stops and bus schedule needs to be improved.
4.3
I love the experience but the communication in the building is horrible
Canvas pages should be more clear and contact hours should be higher.
I was good, no problems with that
