Sort:Latest reviewsGreat location and night life in Brighton. Good support from the uni.
Best - nightlife Worst - covid
It’s a great place to study because it’s in a good location with a supportive community and it could be improved with better facilities because some of our lectures they can’t find the rooms and in the past we have ended up in cafes.
Best- location and campus feel. Student life. Worst- communication can be off and slow. Module choices can be limited and often cancelled last minute. Cost of living in this location is almost a massive negative.
I think the support given by the academic advisors is really helpful and hands on. More affordable shopping and eating on campus would be useful.
Very community centred
I don't think there's enough individual student support. Some students are unable to reach out for help as it is overwhelming to think about on top of the other hundred demanding things you need to study for. The lectures are incredibly interesting, and always easy to follow although the content may be a bit heavy and would need practice to really grasp
Better lectures
I love the environment and the campus. The study spaces are great but more could be added as sometimes I find it hard to find a space.
N/A
It’s in a nice area as it’s surrounded by the southdowns, so the scenery makes the place look nice. Easier access to the uni would be a good improvement, such as more frequent busses to allow for off-campus students to get onto campus easier.
Don’t have any
I love sussex because of the location and some of the tutors are so great with both feedback and help, on the other hand a lot of the building are old and the heating doesn’t work and everyone will be sitting in the lecture halls with winter jackets and gloves. There are also some tutors who do not answer emails until two weeks after which is not good when we have assignments we need to hand in and haven’t had our questions answered.
The staff are very helpful and always very welcoming
Better student support and exam feedback needed
I really like the campus, and the feel of the university
Sussex campus is the best campus ever, it has so many facilities and the library is the star of the show. It has great bus links into Brighton town and lots of places to have lunch. Maybe the architecture could be improved, some of its a bit imposing and prison-like
library
The best aspects is how everything students need is on campus and none of the studying buildings are far away. The worst thing might be that when living in second year you can be quite far from the campus.
4.3
I love everything about this campus except the long walks up and down the hill.
I love all the courses but I hope there is more career supports
You can book this accommodation is best for the value since it has a washer and dryer on site but it is also very old.
