Brighton is an amazing place to live as a student. It's a bit pricey in some parts, but the night life and people really make up for it

Good luck everyone! X

Well so far it's been just recapping everything you learn at a level. But the difficulty is gonna spike after Christmas.

The actual university has been great so far. Everyone is very kind and there's always something to do.

Hi all!
Does anyone know when Sussex starts handing out offers? I know I'm impatient! How is everyone else dealing!?

There isn't one specific time they'll give you your offer. But I think the bulk of offers get made after Christmas. That's when I got mine last year.

Yea putting your application in fast doesn't mean you'll get an offer any quicker.
