Questions for Sussex students (particularly Life Sciences), thanks!

Hi all,

I'm going to be studying for an MSc in Global Biodiversity Conservation at the Uni of Sussex this September. I've accepted my offer but I have yet to recieve any information about anything. My partner and entire family are out of the country so I need to move down on my own and as an older student, I have quite a lot of stuff to lug across the country so I need to start planning! If anyone could help me with a few details, I will love you forever.

1. Where do most Life Sciences students live?

2. Is it easy enough to live closer to the centre/ beach and commute in? I don't mind a little bus journey/ cycle and I'm going to be getting a job in town.
3. Masters students - How are the tuition fees divided up for each term? Equal amounts?
4. Is there anything any currents students would have liked to know before going? Its been 9 years since I was last at uni and I've forgotten everything.

Thanks so much for any info, I'm a bit lost.

Sophie
