Sussex has a lovely campus. The sports facilities are quite mediocre and need improvements. read more

Terrible experience here. The place is a maze. Half the teachers are on strike for the year so most your lessons get cancelled. People are extremely sensitive here. It is highly unorganised with staff taking forever to get back to you, and then they have most the year off. I would not recommend. Save yourselves. read more

Very accepting and cozy uni where evryone feels like at home. Lecturers and staff are very friendly and often find a reason to be funny and pleasant with you. In general it feels better than most other unis which are cramped inside a town or city. Mostly because it is located in a lovable environment and is surrounded by Sussex Downs. Seagulls and great library will definitely make you want to study here. read more

The campus is clean with a variety of cafes and shops to get food from. Recently, they’ve opened an eat central which is a great place to get different hot food. The lecture theatres are comfy and clean and arranged so that you can see the board from wherever you’re sitting. The accommodation is perfect and gets cleaned regularly. read more

My experience at the University of Sussex has been heavily affected by frequent strikes and boycotts, which disrupt our education and leave us in uncertainty. As an international student, the delays in receiving our degrees due to these disruptions have serious consequences. It hampers our ability to obtain graduation visas, limits job opportunities, and impedes plans for further education. Additionally, the quality of education has suffered as some professors struggle to maintain teaching standards during strikes Many professors in my major seem to be struggling to keep up with their teaching responsibilities. Some rely solely on reading from slides, while others cancel classes due to strikes. read more

I first came to the university in 2017. The university in general basically treat students terribly. In my first year, the lecturers went on strike twice so I missed weeks of teaching - I think we were compensated £100 after filling in masses of paper work and this is not at all enough. I had strikes into second year, and third year and then...Covid happened. Throughout all of this, my lecturers were not very supportive, and when I wanted to do a Masters it turns out that the Graduate Scholarship which you get if you achieve at least a 2:1 in your undergrad degree is not applicable if you decide to take some temporary leave from the course, which I did, starting the course in 2020, stopping in December and re-starting in Sept 2021. Nobody told me this, and what's more the complaints team set up to deal with things like this consistently ignore my emails and are delaying giving me an outcome for my complaint that I submitted in November last year. My mental health is bad due to the uni. read more

Not much more than a unkempt, bland, brutalist, ugly campus that looks like it had been ripped straight out of the Soviet Union. The Internet is generally poor, it sometimes cuts off, you have to apply for some devices to be allowed a connection. Lecturers are monotone and express little or no passion in their subject bar one. My only positives are that the porter is a genuine joy to talk to and the region around the campus including Brighton is really nice and leads me to wonder how they managed to build such a drab place in an otherwise beautiful area. read more

Beautiful campus but maintenance in the student accommodation sometimes took a long time and the internet could disappear for hours or days. The student Union don’t host many (any?) fun events. The school I was in hosted online sessions for various careers linked with my degree. read more

I have enjoyed my time at Sussex very much. I was very pleased with my accommodation in first year, and always felt safe and happy on campus. Being by the sea is amazing and I have made great friends. There is a good range of societies however I feel that there is a lack of events on campus - some other Unis have their own club nights etc, which I feel we are lacking. My course was ok but I wouldn’t say the Uni experience was what I hoped for due to Covid. Sussex didn’t make much effort to work around the restrictions - for instance I haven’t been on campus for a timetabled event since March 2020 but other uni’s managed to offer some socially distanced / limited capacity seminars and lectures when the rules allowed. I feel that Sussex almost gave up, and didn’t try to work around the challenging situation. read more
