    Sussex Accomdation
    I will be coming to Sussex in the Fall (as a third year International student)
    My US university is paying for my residence hall so money is not too much of an issue but I am not rich and don't want to be surrounded by just rich suite mates.
    I had as my top 4, Brighthelm, Swanborough, Northfield and Lewes Court 2.

    I don't drink that often, I am social though but also like my privacy..noisy dorm when I'm trying to finish a paper is not a good fit.

    Any help on what reputation these residences have would be appreciated. I know I'll be older than most of my flatmates but some I heard have more older students.

    Thanks, it's exciting to be coming, but hard being so far away.

    Hi, I'm going to Sussex in Sept, and was wondering if anyone had heard back about their halls yet? I'm going to be a first year

    What did you choose for your top 4? I keep changing them around! I'm torn between Lewes 2, Brighthelm, and Swanborough..

    They told me that everything had to be in by Aug 1st so I assume after that everyone will hear.

    I picked Brighthelm, Lewes (non-ensuite), Northfield as my Top 3. I really hope that I would get Brighthelm. Is Brighthelm a popular choice this year?? I am very nervous as Im having conditional offer.

    They start allocating accommodation to people with unconditional offers in early-mid August, and then everyone else is sorted after results day and you'll hear late August/early September. No point allocating accommodation to people who might not achieve the grades or decide not to go to Sussex!

    It should say on the housing application form. Mine is EAST 39-C1, it also says which rooms have been allocated to other people on the form, only 2 other people in mine so far.

    I'm in Park Village 15. Glad to get my first choice. Currently there appears to be only one other in there with me.

    Hello, fellow Park Villager! (Not sure I want to be a villager, sounds a little simple). Do you know where the facebook group is? I'm not really on there much so I'm struggling.
