Sort:Latest reviewsGreat location, quick and easy to get to London and surrounding areas, but the campus has currently has lots of construction work happening which pulls the look and feel of the place down, rent is also quite expensive.
The area is close to the beach and i love the beach
Lovely environment and people, great nature, but it is ruined by the construction on campus. Greater support to students who are struggling with the living cost crisis would be appreciated, ie cheaper food availability

Worst: accommodation price and mold Best: location

Done of the buildings are old and far away from everything
So many places to study whether its a cafe or library or pub!! Great atmosphere around campus
Near London, campus university so really feels like youre going to a uni
It is a wonderful Uni.
Make it look nicer
Very little academic support and viable feedback. Great campus life and social experience. Good mental health support.
- Very nice community and students societies! - Great night life, easy to make friends.
It is a great place to study because the lecturers and seminar tutors are so accommodating to your academic needs. 1 thing which could be improved is feeling more like a community paricularly due to being a commuting student.
Sussex is currently going through renovations and additions to the campus. This causes disruption throughout the campus whether it is loud noise from the construction or blocking passages for walking to and from buildings on campus. However, the actual facilities and location of the campus is exemplary as there are many places to study and to eat. The support given to students is also provided in a very professional manner. The lecturers have office hours which are very useful, and can make 1 on 1 appointments with other law department liaisons who can assist with essay writing. Our seminar tutors are also very approachable and always stay after class if you have any further questions.
Student support are really helpful & campus is pretty, only thing that could be improved is the cost of transport & living
I have really enjoyed studying at Sussex and I like to campus to be all in one place. The student centre is great and the library has a lot of space too (even if it is cold in the winter). I have found the timetabled rooms for my course to be very inconvenient, often placed in the room 'dine central' where random people would walk through so many times during the sessions which is distracting but also not great due to the sensitive topics discussed. I tried the uni counselling and ended up being cancelled on 3 weeks in a row so I stopped with it as it was awkward and not working for the disjointed sessions. Social work staff are great and the esw space is great. People always are complaining about the lack of parking spaces and permits.
The spaces of University are good to study and hanging out with friends.

Best parts of uni: structure of course is very straightforward, easy to deal with course load Areas of improvement: be clearer with assignment deadlines, uni should not be able to change assessment deadline with less than a week to go
Would be good if we could attend lectures online
Wi-fi is always going out, lots of people and maintenance coming into the building which is inconvenient
