Paddock Field Halls Of Residence is a home away from home. The environment is neat, quiet, peaceful and surrounded by vegetative land. The shared area is well equipped for student's comfort as well as the ensuite room. The flat is not crowded and my flatmates are all postgraduates of matured like minds making the atmosphere conducive for study as I prefer to study in my room. Complaints are usually attended to in a timely manner. For instance I complained about my room being still cold for me despite the functional heater and within an hour a brand new extra heater was installed in my room making it two. Also any maintenance complain is swiftly rectified. I will recommend it.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

I’ve loved staying at paddock fields so far and my flatmates are great
So far I've loved it here, really close to my course area, and only 10 minutes from the city centre. Perfect place to live. Only thing needed to improve would be the kitchen area, just needs a bit of a renovation.

apart from the mould that was already brewing in my shower room before i moved in and the slow limescale infested shower head, the room itself was cute but also prison like. you got one desk, a built in wardrobe, a dresser and a single bed. there was space to rearrange the furniture if you'd like to make it feel more home-like. depending on the people in your flat, it could either be a great way to make friends or you could really hate that people are going out and coming in really late at night. personally, i loved my flat! i loved all the people and i have made life-long friends. mice had been an issue a few times as we are surrounded by greenery but the office was nearby where you could report your problems or call the caretaker when needed. the kitchen was also cleaned once a week and the hallways were also hoovered. the buses were great but you would have to go through half of sussex campus to get home during the day and on the night bus, all of sussex campus. 6/10 recommend.
Bit out the way from BSMS buildings. Better shop on site needed
TERRIBLE HALLS. Mould grew in my bedroom, shower so slow, food options for veggies terrible, mostly ate salad and potatoes. Constant partying in halls with no support from staff. Place was trashed all the time and uni didn't care. Worst most uncomfortable situation I've ever been in
Everything is AWESOME! Oh yeah yeah! 100% recommend to all ages even the Nigerian aunties that seek a degree.
The biggest flaw of this halls is the location,but its easy to solve taking the bus which works really well, also in my year i experienced problems with my wifi but as far as im concerned that was fixed. Anyway, the social experience for me was exceptional, i met many amazing people im still friend with and the catering and cleaning worked well.
I absolutely loved living here for my first year even though it was a bit in the middle of nowhere. The 25 bus and the N25 night bus were great though and come so often that you don't really need to worry. I was lucky and probably got one of the nicest flats in terms of the kitchen/living room as we had proper sofas and a nice dining table and matching chairs. It does massively depend who you end up living with that will define your experience here and I would strongly recommend to girls to choose an all girl flat. I didn't ask for one but very glad I got put into one. there'll be plenty of opportunities to meet guys without having to share a kitchen with them! Staff that work here are really lovely for the most part and help you with ANY issues quickly. Would 100% say live here for first year if you can, especially with catered!! Food is much better than you think it will be! Plus, who wants to cook every night? Will definitely miss my en suite room!
When I look at paddock fields for what it was - a flat to live in - it was absolutely diabolical. It was messy, outdated and partially destroyed upon arrival, but was able to look past this as obviously reckless students have lived here before me. My window handle fell straight off when I tried to shut my window on my very first day and this unknowing to me then, sets the scene for the year I was about to face. Constant tripping with electricals, heating/water/lighting. Problems with main doors to block and flat constantly, not closing and locking. My bedroom door wouldn't shut and it took 5 different people to try for it to finally shut. Contractors were in practically every other week, I wish I'd kept every single notice of contractor work because it was awful. Mouldy bedrooms and bathrooms and had to fork out for heavy duty cleaning tools to get rid of it as they couldn't help and just told me to open my window more. I have a long list of more things but I've ran out characters.
Loved the Paddock; take me back!
This halls has a rubbish location. Bus has to go through a different university to get to this campus, takes forever and the halls is literally in the middle of nowhere but the quality of the halls is great. I had a massive living room and kitchen with a nice sized bedroom with ensuite. I'm sure the social experience could have been better elsewhere but it was still really good, would definitely recommend halls, falmer is a good one. The catered food could have been better also but it was much better than cooking for myself.
