I like the lecturers rly goof
Wish students were a bit more warm and friendly and wish campus accommodation was more affordable and wish there was more spacious sports facilities.
Love the location, south downs nearby is nice, wildflowers on campus is nice, good connection to brighton with busses and trains Busses can be annoying sometimes with not enough services to accomodate amount of students travelling to campus, some of the buildings are outdated and hard to navigate, the student union has been criticised for not being that helpful and it can be hard to find student support
Need Better support for student who are struggling.
Best - friendships Worst - covid lockdowns everything was unorganised in first year
Best- study hangouts Worst- price of food
The University of Sussex offers a vibrant academic environment, fostering critical thinking and innovation. With world-class faculty, diverse programs, and a picturesque campus, it's an ideal setting for holistic learning.

The best that I love close and everyone is helpful when I need something
Amazing love it
I love the student union here and student life I feel the prices are too expensive however, I can't afford food here, I have to go off campus all the time for lunch


The campus is really cool and full of a wide variety of different people go allowing students to get to learn more about different cultures easily
The lectures are interesting but the amount of strikes that have affected my learning has led to me and many peers feeling like we're wasting our money
It's just really nice
