Sussex 2012 Applicant's Thread

What course are you applying for? Will you be firming Sussex?

Hello all, how feasible is to commute to London from Brighton? I might study at Sussex and my GF in London....

Is Brighton significantly cheaper than London?

Applicants of MSc @ SPRU?

Furthermore, in terms of reputation, how good is Sussex? Is it among the top 10 universities in the UK? How about the top 100 in the world?

I've firmed Sussex for Geography, so if you end uo choosing them we'll be in the same department!
That's a big dilemma. The bottom line is, they both have solid reputations as universities, however Durham is more prestigious overall which might help your employment a bit.
In terms of location/social aspect Sussex will be far better; the city is really vibrant and the nightlife is great. Durham as a town is far more traditional so there probably wont be as much to do. It really depends on what your priorities are - prestige or location and social life

Also i am DESPERATE to get into Brighthelm, the Kitchens looked so nice!

I know Brighthelme is so lovely. I'd go to Sussex just for Brighthelme- only joking! Worried now tho because so many people like Brighthelme there may not be enough places there if I put Sussex second. And I would end up in East Slope or maybe not even on the campus. I think that would be better than East Slope tho- its so dark inside- I think you'd get depressed! And cramped.x

Haha yeah East Slope is a bit grim, but from what i've heard it's apparently really social and full of dead nice people So which uni do you prefer at the moment?

They advertise on the Sussex Website that London is under an hour away by train.
Hope this helps.

Hello I'm hopefully doing Neuroscience with Cognitive Science in September and have made it my firm They gave me an offer for BBB or ABC which is lower than their ABB entry requirements - but hey I'm definitely not complaining

Agreed that East Slope looked a bit grim, even though apparently it's the 'party district'. So I wouldnt expect to get much sleep living there xD I'm hoping to get into Lewes Court, Brighthelm or Swanborough ^^

Brighton is lovely, I've lived in Eastbourne for a while and love to go to Brighton for shopping, it's so lovely and vibrant, plus we get awesome bands come play there occasionally which is always a bonus ^^

If I had to make a decision right this moment I would choose Sussex because I've seen it 3 times and know practically everything about it whereas I've only been to Durham once. Will know more when I've been on the Durham open day!
Do u like Sussex the most? What are your other choices?

Hello I'm putting Sussex as my insurance for Neuroscience, but possibly seeing if I could switch to Medical Neuroscience. ABB/AAC offer, though :/

Anyone know if you can apply for accommodation if it's your insurance? You can with the uni I'm putting as my firm, but that doesn't help me much

Firmed Sussex a couple of evenings ago. So, so excited, yet so nervous!

Sussex told me they'd get back to me Monday. They didn't. My course is in extra. They're probably fishing for better applicants and keeping me for back up.

Thanks Sussex you really know how to make a girl feel special.
