Neuroscience degree at University of Sussex

I wanted to see if anybody who has done/is doing the Neuroscience degree at University of Sussex can tell me their personal experience of the course and how living in the on-campus accommodation has been so far? I want to focus on my studies and live in a quiet area but wanted to know how the university experience is for people.

Hi, I’m third year at sussex uni.
I don’t study neuroscience but I can say a lot about the campus and area.
Honestly with the campus living it depends where you are put and who with and I know that’s the same experience across all universities with dorms in the first year then after you can choose who you house share with.
Some people have loved their campus mates and some people don’t get along and are too loud it’s pot luck but if you do have too much trouble I know a couple people did move and the campus supported them to do so.
It’s in falmer so a bit out of brighton so the campus is usually quiet at night, I’ve been in the library over night studying and walked out to silence.
The campus has a co-op on site, buses you can easily get to shops or the train, if you drive plenty of space to take a car and drive to get to big asda down the road or other places.
I would say for a university it’s good it’s all on one campus where as other universities have blocks spread across a city so it is a bit quieter and away from the main city so not really much trouble or noise at all.

thanks for the informative reply :smile:

also, would you say you enjoy your course and studying at this university, im transferring from middlesex university and wanted to know if its worth it and if you do STEM would you say the research institution is good as well?

I went to Sussex uni 20 years ago and loved it. Like has already been mentioned, the campus is in quiet falmer. There’s a lovely country park just over the hill that you can go for alone time. The city itself is small but interesting. I came from a very small town in Cornwall so it was great for me.
