Official 2014/15 Sussex Freshers thread

Thank you! 5-10 mins are not that long.. I hope I could get a room there 0.o

It takes 5-10 mins to get from Northfield to the centre of campus.

Over the last year it took me just over five minutes from Bramber at the central of campus just to get to Lewes Court block one, It'd be more like 10-15 to Northfield for an average paced walker, especially if you're staying at the very back of Northfield.

Also something about ranking.. I'm going to study accounting and finance in September.. I heard sussex has a fine business school. But I just saw a list about the rank of accounting and finance, sussex ranked 52nd in 2014 and 62nd for the year of 2015! And it ranked 78th in Times 2014.. I know ranking is not that important but I'm still upset when I saw that! The requirement is AAB-ABB.. How come would sussex rank so that low?

Would like to know the nearest coach station to sussex?^^ I'm arriving at Heathrow terminal 3 and wondering if there's a direct coach to sussex? Or it would be better take a tube to London bridge/ Victoria train station and take a train to Brighton?

There's coaches that stop in Brighton City centre then you could get the train to campus.

Not sure how to get on a coach to Brighton but if you do its easy ish to get a train afterwards.
Train the whole way is MUCH easier though. Train to Brighton, Switch, train to Falmer.

Thank you! What's the coach stations name in the one at Brighton city centre? I would like to train the whole way.. But i have to take a tube from Heathrow airport to the train station and it takes at least one hour

It's not a station. the coaches just kind of kick you out near the pier. About a 10 minute walk away from the train station so not that convenient for then getting to the uni.


Coach would take even longer and would require more changing. Definitely take the train.

Oh I see.. Seems there are also many train stations in Brighton. Which one is the easiest for me to access to sussex?^^

You want the train to Falmer. It's just across the road from Sussex campus.

You want Falmer Station, that is literally on the bottom edge of campus.

Most of the time this involves changing at the main Brighton Station.

Hi can anybody advice in which floor is the room 3 in Brighthelm residences is placed? I am given an offer for room 3 in Brighthelm but not sure if I will be on the ground/ first. Please advice. Thanks.

I was Kent House so don't know. Am sorry. Have you tried calling up the accommodations office to ask?

Why do you want to know? Not comfortable living on the bottom floor?

Hello, thanks for your reply. Yes, I am a girl and scared of being on the ground floor. I know there are five rooms in the house but not sure where is the third room placed.
