WHAT? I thought they ALL had baths - that's what made it so appealing, along with the washing machines etc..... how can some have them, some not?

And, Rosie, can you possibly take som pics around the house, just to give me an idea ofthe place, i'd be so very grateful..... also, isit u whos doing psychology, i remember someone was in brighthelm and doing psych, exactly wat i wanna do and be....! have yougot msn?x

I'm home for christmas now, if you remind me in Jan i'll take some for you then. Nope I take geography, although i'm in the minority, 1 in 9 students at sussex take psych. Oh and as far as i'm aware none of the houses in Brighthelm have baths. The washing machines and massive airing cupbaods make up for that though! :biggrin:

I do have msn but I'd rather we chat via TSR.

The course is really good actually. I've just finished the first term and I feel like i've learned quite alot. The first 4 modules I did were Sustainable development and Environmental management, Dynamic Earth, Human Geography and Global Cycles so I think as a joint honours student you get to pick two of those (the human two I guess!) The lecturers for human are really good, although one has just retired last week so I hear they're getting a brand new shiny lecturer for that. The work in the first term was very managable, alot of reading but not many assignments or essays. My end of term assessments consisted of 2 essays (1500 words and 2000 words) and 2 tests which was quite managable.

I've also heard good things about the anthropology department here as it shares quite alot of research with geography. Infact one of the case studies we worked on was entirely based upon the research carried out my 2 anthropology lecturers at Sussex.

Any more questions don't hestitate to ask :smile:

Ah nothing. I'm transferring away from Sussex in September but don't let that put you off, I want to leave for personal reasons, nothing to do with the uni specifically.

OP

Hey. Yeah I did thanks, it was great to be home. Sure I'll take some for you tomorrow (ie. in daylight cos the bulb in my room has gone and its very dark!) You don't get to pick which house you get unfortunately. Infact most people don't even get their first choice of accomodation. Alot of people ended up with there 4th or 5th choice last summer.

Reply 37

Really? that's awful, maybe i'll get my first choice though as i'll be unconditional, I hope anyway, 'cos I'd only wanna stay in Brighthelm really.... glad to hear you had a good xmas, not sure when you wrote that but how can I see the pics?? thanks for doing it too.

You get your first choice when you have an unconditional place, so don't worry.
