I have no idea who my new tutor is as my first got fired in FIRST year and now it’s THIRD year. My course got cut leading to my modules being cut. I do history and literature as a degree but have only done it looked at subjects through the lense of philosophy. I did not sign up to do this much philosophy and it’s unfair as I’ve never done philosophy and frankly don’t want to. I have literally learnt nothing but PHILOSOPHY. Also I am constantly repeating course content which is ridiculous. It has also been stated that we are decolonising the university but we have only done western thought with most of the people we learn about be WHITE and MALE :(

Bro we had a house mate threaten to kill us all for turning a light on. He also woke everyone up at 5:00AM screaming at us and playing siren noises. We had reported it to many people but got told not to anger him - just some context but 5 out of the 7 people where all girls. My experience with that made me rather worried to actually leave my room

The lecturers are willing to help when needed. The course content is more surface level for me, access to more questions and more quizzes to test out student understanding and weak points before exams will go a long way. But overall, the course is great with 8 hours of classes a week, plenty of time to catch up on the course materials and do part time work.

I would say I am getting my money’s value. The staff is accommodating and maintenance complaints are dealt with in a timely manner. I haven’t experienced any issues with the WiFi or any of the amenities.

My course was cut due to the abysmal spending habits and cuts to the university, especially in humanities. The sacking of the staff has created a disgusting pillage onto the lecturers that stayed. With this, the course has had to be thinned out with many specialists gone and has created strain on both the lecturers and students as there is now not a lot of time to deep dive into aspects that we signed up to learn about. However, the best thing about this course has been the people within it and the passion most of the people spread

Varley park was so far from everything else. There was no extra curricular activities or anything. The only thing that made the halls worth it was the community of students and friends you make along the way with the closeness of each building.

Lecturers do not contact with students in a timely manner or check if students know how to complete their assignments

Lecturers are very helpful but there are a couple of aspects that could be slightly improved

Really high quality place to live but it's a shame it takes a while to get into the city from there

I had strikes affecting learning, communication is not thorough. However seminar sessions i like and the actual content is interesting with the readings added

I stayed luckily in a very nice place- only because i had maximum loan The location is bad considering the free uni bus is no longer running

Starting my second year at Brighton University was quite intense, with many assignments overlapping in their due dates. I found it challenging at times to juggle these deadlines alongside attending lectures. While the overall structure of the course is solid, I believe there are certain aspects that could be restructured to make it more engaging and manageable. For example, spreading out deadlines more evenly or incorporating more interactive learning. The labs are well-equipped with excellent facilities that provide everything we need to support our learning. Many lectures are delivered exceptionally well, with engaging content and clear explanations. However, some lectures could be improved by providing more informative slides, as limited materials can make revision more challenging.

I stayed in Mithras halls of residence. They are certainly some of the nicer halls however they are expensive. There is a weekly common area cleaner and a reception for parcels, with friendly staff. We had a few issues that were left long periods of time before being attended to, such as blood / vomit and food in the elevator that was not cleaned up for days, but most issues were resolved promptly. The rooms are nice with big windows that let plenty of light in and I think they all have en-suites. There is plenty of storage and a desk to do work. The location was ideal for me as it was just across the road from where my lectures happen.

love it
