Brighton is just a fantastic city to live in lots going on all the time. The library can be a bit depressing especially the bottom floor.
Good people
I wish student contact was a bit more direct, i know university is an independent place, but young people struggling feel like support is far away rather than close. the people are always great, tho i wish they would be a little more direct
The pathway to help
The tutors are fantastic and very helpful. Diverse and supportive university
It can be improved with better student support overall, i feel like the current way things are organised especially considering 3rd year and it's difficulties I've noticed the lack of support.
I love Brighton, it’s a great student city. Some professors at university of Brighton are not as great and make the student experience worse
Great location, friendly people. Facilities are pretty dated. Don't feel like I've progressed by education that much.
I do feel that the campus look and feel has somewhat deminished when i first came to brighton university especially with the rotating doors never working, dust around some of the locations. But overall the quality of the inside of most of the uni buildings are well kept.
The environment is brilliant. An increase I student facilities
Worst - having to commute here is just tiring. Best - everyone is really friendly including the students and the professors
There are nice food places, a few cafes. There could be more study spaces and improvements to them.
Uni is amazing the people are really nice I just wish there was more advertising for the help and support the university can offer
Progressive and diverse environment because of the city itself. Lesser contact between students. Seperate campus locations make more difficult to gather people. Establishing an uniform campus would be helpful.
Great university with brilliant lecturers and leaders
Funding issues with social sciences, need the uni1 bus back for transport , student support pretty good but the system could be improved by working with the student hat need support to understand better what would benefit them.
Need more upgrade to the facility
Location is great and range of societies is a plus. Support for students is excellent. Some rooms in the campus have recently been modernised which is nice to see. Some of the engineering facilities are very old, outdated, or broken. I have had a good experience with the SU finance team but I don’t really know what the SU does.
Facility access is amazing but much needed maintenance has to be done to make these facilities more useful.


The best experience was how free it feels but the worst would also be that being so free I've developed a characteristic to procrastinate a lot.
Some tutors take a long time to mark and respond to emails but the coursework is simple as the content cover is done well
The thing is liked most was that you had your own toilet, but the shared kitchen was a disaster as other people would leave food and cutlery in the sink and it would smell horrible.
