Sussex Uni Freshers 2014

I have just been told I have an unconditional offer from Sussex uni, meaning im definitely going there in september..
anyone else been lucky enough to have this happen?
and anyone deffo keen to start there this year?!

I have an unconditional for Maths with a FY I firmed them about a month ago, before I'd even visited the university! I'm glad I did though because when I visited I loved it What accommodation is everyone choosing? And does anyone know what the freshers events have been like for the past few years?

I've got an unconditional for English Lit and accommodation wise I'm torn between Northfield and Swanborough at the moment. I think for Freshers week there's usually a party type thing on Brighton pier which sounds pretty fun.

Where are you looking at for accommodation?

I'm also torn between Swanborough and Northfield. I didn't get to see Swanborough when I visited so I'm struggling to choose! Have you seen both?

Hi, I'm a first year in Northfield this year, and thought I'd share my experience.

You're right about Northfield being almost brand new, Swanborough has a bit of wear but it's still really good. From speaking to other people in my year, it is the most sought after (Swanborough) due to the central location. I put Swanborough as my first choice, but got Northfield. Swanborough does get a bit of noise due to parties, etc. However you're going to get this mostly everywhere you go. Northfield is quieter as there are some family flats near the back, so in that sense yes it is sometimes nicer to get away from the parties (especially when you have a 9am)!

If you have any other questions just ask

Both have good social spaces, but from my experience of living in Northfield (and going to friends' places in Lewes Court 2), I'd say Lewes Court 2 is more sociable.
Northfield has a merged Kitchen/living whereas Lewes Court 2 has them separated (Still one space though). I think the LC2 setup is better, although it's personal preference I guess

Hey everyone. I work for the Students' Union at Sussex and we're all looking forward to meeting you in September - only 160 days left - itsalmo.st/#thestartoffreshersweek

We want to make sure the information we give you is as useful as possible so feel free to reply to let me know what you want to know before you get to Sussex.

We'll be updating the info at www.sussexstudent.com/freshers as it gets closer so let me know what we should add.

We won't be publishing this year's event details until the middle of August to give us time to get everything organised and confirmed so I can't give you those before then sorry!

Hi! I was wondering, do you know what day the Freshers have to arrive? I'm trying to plan my summer travelling and work, and I need to know what date I have to be back by or have quit work by! Thanks

I've firmed for 2014 entry! Doing Geography and International Relations! Anyone else doing this? What accommodation is everyone applying to?

We might see each other around then!
I haven't actually seen any of the accommodation unfortunately, but obviously I need to make a decision on it soon! I want somewhere that has a decent social life (really important to me)- but I like the idea of having my own ensuit rather than sharing! What accomodation is good for this?
