University of Sussex Reviews and Ratings

• I found accommodation using my university website during my 1st year, when i lived on campus. for off campus houses, there are multiple websites, like eightfold, on the market, etc., and student accommodations have their own websites, which advertise an array of room options according to your convenience.
• Monthly rent for university accommodation – 760 pounds, facilities included: ensuite room, fully equiped kitchen with ovens, kettles, microwaves, gas stoves, seating areas, fridges, porch area and furniture inside the room, including bed, wardrobe, mirror, study table and storage space
• Some advice for anyone looking accommodation is please start searching for them early on, because all the good accommodations tend to be gone by the end of November or December; hence, try finding before that
• My current accommodation is 20 minutes away from the university via a bus. Most of the indian students stay in student accommodations since they are quite convenient.
   

• The process of finding Accommodation - I found my accommodation mainly through online platforms like UniHomes and Rightmove, which made the search easier. Challenges Included high demand and limited options close to campus. I recommend starting early, visiting properties if possible, and connecting with current students for reliable advice.

• I found my accommodation via the uni portal. I stayed on campus. Since I was a late joinee, I did not get uni accommodation right away. There's a massive accommodation crisis in Brighton. It's very difficult to find a place within your budget near to the uni. My recommendation would be to stay on campus if you can afford it.
• While outside might be slightly cheaper, the overall quality of your life reduces, which will affect your studies. At least half the Indian students would live on campus, as it's easier. While campus accommodation is not the cheapest, outside rents are not too cheap either. My rent was £800 per month on average, including bills. Next year might be up by another 15% because of the inflation.

• There are multiple platforms to find the housing accommodations online. I had received one through a friend of mine but there are plenty of websites where you can see the post on the university webpage there is a separate page for accommodation where people keep posting the accomodation, then whatsapp group; you can connect with people from the same course in whatsapp ask them for accommodation.

• Campus is very close to train station, and express way so it makes very convenient to commute, even if u dont live on campus.

The campus had this lively vibe, and I loved the mix of people from different backgrounds. The interdisciplinary approach to learning was refreshing—it made me see connections between subjects I never thought of before. The campus itself is gorgeous, surrounded by greenery. It's the kind of place where you can find a peaceful spot to study or just chill. The focus on research was impressive, and I got to explore topics that truly fascinated me. Of course, like any journey, there were challenges, but the overall experience was definitely worth it. Sussex has this unique blend of academic excellence and a laid-back atmosphere that makes it memorable.

Because I liked that it was in Brighton and the course was extremely interesting to me. I get to learn contemporary issues that relate to my interests as well as gain skills that employers are keen for students to have. I also heard really good things about it and upon visiting really like the atmosphere of the campus.

I liked it's close proximity to my home town and have always enjoyed going to Brighton. The university has a good reputation and good job prospects also and seemed like the ideal fit for me at the time.
