Good university with good facilities
Really good course but sometimes tutors get annoyed because people don’t show up and they complain to the students who do show up
Very international but also local city
It was nice for meeting people but also met some bad people

Worst aspects have been being promised a student union bar for January then getting told it's September instead. The best has been meeting new people and making new friends as well as developing confidence.
It's all good and interactive even the online sessions once a week
Thank you for your feedback
I absolutely love the area but with lockdowns and major restrictions during first year and continuous restrictions on on campus time it has been hard to make connections with other students and lecturers.
The online aspects leave a lot to be desired. It has been really difficult but since being on campus the transition has been easier. It really felt like lost my first year, especially without being able to use on campus tech
Thank you for your feedback
Most of my university experience has been online due to covid. It has been more difficult accessing help and support from tutors and haven’t had the full uni experience we would have had if we were in person.
I love the practical skills and placements they have been wonderful but I feel like the course is very much geared towards wanting us to be research nurses as much of the content is that and not so much the skills I will need if working in a ward setting.
I have lived here all my life it’s a beautiful seaside town with a reasonable amount of night life and student things and not to far from other towns and cities. Would be amazing if we got Uber in the town so can get to places easier

The Eastbourne campus is a lot smaller- everyone knows each other so it's good if you want the same seaside vibes without the bustle of the main campus in Brighton. Getting around can be hard without a car, buses stop at 6/7 so you have to walk everywhere at night if you don't have a car. The sports facilities are all pretty good and easy to get to from accomodation (3 minute walk away). Not all sports clubs are based in Eastbourne so you would have to travel in to Brighton for some clubs but the main clubs (football, rugby, netball etc) have teams on this campus. The rooms in accommodation are all en suite with between 4-7 rooms per flat. Kitchens are a good size but if everyone wants to cook at the same time it can feel very cramped.
It is very full on with a mix of practical and theory work which can be very tiring. The course covers a range of topics to well prepare you for placements. There are placements in every year of study. Lecturers are all supportive and responsive to any questions/feedback . All teaching is in person (unless lecturers state otherwise due to unexpected circumstances)
The seaside location is great for unwinding after a long day . It's not as busy as other campuses (like the Brighton city campus) so it's much easier to relax. However as it is a quieter seaside town, it might not be right for people who enjoy bustling city areas
Rooms are quite basic but all en-suite. Most people have a single room but you can get a double room if you don't mind paying higher rent. The only indoor common area is the kitchen which is a decent size but not always ideal if you want a few people over
Thank you for your feedback
Email respond time from lectures is terrible even during covid when we were all studying from home. Course content is good but mostly taught from slides and has no context put to it. Some modules lack real useful information and sometimes is too heavy in politics of how we are instead of where we’re heading
Course has been terrible being online for 18 months and lacking the skills sessions required to actually learn such a hands on subject. No context is put to some lectures and the lecturers literally read off the slides
Thank you for your feedback
Best aspects: the uni life, ease of access to the city, feels integrated in the city (excl Falmer & Eastbourne campuses) Worst aspects: heavy workload, teaching is a bit hit and miss, not much time outside of uni, studio opening hours aren't too great (9am - 9pm, 5 days per week)
on first year the content is very all over the place and in some ways doesn't necessarily feel relevant to the subject - but it's still interesting and enjoyable workload is incredibly heavy, don't get much of a social life teaching is a bit hit and miss - either you get a great tutor who gives you lots of constructive feedback that you can use or you don't get much
very diverse city - feels really welcoming and safe most of the time (although there are some areas to avoid, especially at night Inappropriate things was prevelant here really interesting local atmosphere - very bright, colourful & different to any other city some really cool street art around & all streets are really colourful
Thank you for your feedback
Great uni!
Great!
Thank you for your feedback
Students and community are great. study materials can be a bit outdated
Course is stretched, more based on self learning.
Lots of students to meet, gives a chance for socializing. Hygiene levels can be a bit low
Thank you for your feedback
There are many locations on campus to get some peace and quiet and get your work done. With covid many lectures were cancelled with lack of communication between students and lecturers for when the replacement lectures would be rescheduled too.
Plenty of facilities for demonstrating the theoretical teachings to allow students to learn easier. Also many fun methods of getting students involved in their subjects more such as the sim suite for engineering students.
It’s a very diverse area with good part time job opportunities with good pay rates, just not enough for all the students other than in catering.
