Positive

(5)·By Theo F·Economics· Jun 2023
All aspects of my uni experience have been positive. From the social aspects of making friends and having plenty to do on and around campus to the academic side. The lectures and seminars so far have given me a good level of knowledge on my subject and make me confident going into second year.

Sussex Uni Is Everything

(5)·By Jess T·History· Jun 2023
I love it at Sussex :) it's a campus uni so you feel like you live in a little student village, it's got the Sussex downs countryside at your doorstep so it's so easy to wander and clear your head with stunning views. I live in Wiltshire back home so I love this little country escape, I feel like I'm back at home! Having Brighton a little bus/train ride away is amazing, I feel like I'm on holiday at a beautiful seaside resort. The laines in Brighton might be one of my fave spots, with the cutest and coolest shops and cafes. Sussex is welcoming of everyone and I genuinely feel like I'm at home here, especially after a gap year and dropping out of a different uni last year, it's so nice to feel a sense of belonging at uni :)

My freshers week was very eventful! I spent a lot of time socialising and getting comfortable within the campus. I had a great time learning what it's really like to be a student! Luckily I had the opportunity to stay in Northfield which was one of the best accommodations the university offers. It was practically new and I felt privileged to be living there when some of my friends showed me the state of their accommodation haha The facilities at Sussex were outstanding. The library was huge with never ending resources. There were a large number of areas to socialise which was great. The gym however could have been better. The lectures were generally quite engaging and informative. They could of been more interactive but most lectures are focused around listening so it's hard to incorporate this. The course overall was great and taught me a lot. I loved Brighton as a city, it was full of life and made you feel comfortable. The people there are down to earth and non-judgemental due to the diversity. There aren't many city's like Brighton

Lots of events, mixers and welcome parties! Welcoming Stanmer Court: just outside of campus, train station around the corner. Nice atmosphere and good facilities All facilities in the university are great! Every member of the politics department is great at delivering lectures and explaining complex concepts Brighton is a great city to live in. Always something going on

Really exciting and vibrant. I met lots of wonderful people. Great, cosy and typically studenty Great facilities, I couldn't fault it . The course was relevant and timely, it explored current issues and aspects of societal issues and reform. Highly informative. The city life was exciting and bold, the very best you could expect whilst going to university. It has an open minded and fun feeling and you can be yourself

Politics / International Relations, Year 2

(5)·By Malick D·Politics· Jul 2021
Very good, at the American Express stadium so it was quite the experience. Quite a range of societies present and lots of freebies! Clean, professional and worth the cost. Not the prettiest but it's efficient and does the job. The campus and very nice and green, open and lots of summer vibes. Great lecturers and really challenging concepts that develop your mind. Brighton is cool, coming from London it feels like just a borough but really artistic vibes from the unique city. Lovely seaside and perfect beach for summertime.

It was fun, lots of activity and events happening in and out of the university. Lots of club events and promotions too! They're actually quite nice, all seem to be quite clean. My friends had their own bathrooms and the kitchen area was really big. We have a masssssive library, although I can't always find a space. Class rooms are big and always tidy. The lecture rooms are huge and again, always clean. I thought when I started I'd be scared of them but the biggest ones are my favourite. Very well organised and a lot of support is made available. You can always contact you tutors and I've always gotten fast responses. I grew up in Brighton, so I know the city quite well. There's always something happening and the night life before COVID was amazing. We have sooo many clubs, defo something for everyone.
