Supportive and friendly academic staff that is passionate about what they're teaching, however the facilities are too small for the amount of students on campus
The best point is that there are a lot of international students. So we can learn different cultures. The worst thing is the location. It takes over 30 minutes from city centre
I love the food, the people and the lecturers. The university has a lot to offer and being on the active side I’ve enjoyed the athletics club which has pushed me to greater depths. I’ve been able to push myself and grow out of the needy adolescent child I was to someone who has discipline. The transition wasn’t easy and I wouldn’t change a thing for the experience I got.
I love the environment, the support, the student life! It’s definitely keeps students entertained
I am happy with every aspect of the university and student life.
The best part of the university experience has been the community and course lecturers, the worst part has been the the commute to the university and somewhat frequent strikes
Best is how accommodating the university and its students are. one thing that could be improved is how lectures are delivered as they seem mostly monotonous
I spend one semester at the University of Sussex and I loved it. Super organized
The university and specifically the school of informatics and engineering provide outstanding facilities for students. The provided labs and equipment are state of the art with amazing learning opportunities at the tips of our fingers. Facilities such as the library and computer rooms are well equipped and available 24/7 for students. I find myself working on assignments comfortably after classes in the university. Especially during tough weeks where going home would be a waste of time. Facilities such as the careers hub on campus were very helpful when it came to planning out my future endeavours in the field of electronics engineering and helped show me the different paths I could take If I had to be nit-picking about some things on campus. It would be the availability of group study rooms for students, we do have quite a few, but they do not cover the demand of the population of the campus during the weeks prior to finals or mid term assignment weeks.

Hard to make friends, university makes it difficult to access some facilities for mental health. Lecturers are also not great at advice
It’s a good place to study
for law the lecturers and support from them is amazing they are always giving us extra help and drop in session. however the student union isn’t as good they run campaigns but i’ve always thought sports and society could be run better they often feel unwelcoming and they’re underfunded.
I really like it here! It’s fun and there’s lots of pop up shops and stalls, the library is amazing and there’s lots of things on campus.
It’s very accommodating and there is all sorts of different environments to study in such as the library that’s quiet or student hub that is more chilled yet also comforting, it could be improved by making societies easier to find and more covert.
great location and the course has a lot of support available from staff
My tutors are very good.
Sussex is perfectly located and in terms of study the material is digestible and easy to understand, the lecturers and university could be more accommodating to international students
The library is probably my most favourite thing about Sussex, it’s beautiful & has many useful facilities. Brighton is an amazing location for host your student life, it’s beautiful, always has things going on & very social. I feel that Sussex university itself works hard to support and aid your success as a university student in every possible way they can do so. Some of the facilities and classes are a little dated& some areas of teaching could probably do with assessing, however this remains subjective.
please improve food and wifi experience


Better WiFi
Took too many people
Cleaners don’t turn up and it’s very expensive
