Once in a lifetime opportunity!

Undertaking an exchange program is a once in a lifetime opportunity that i recommend all University student should complete if given the opportunity! The University of Sussex is located in a beautiful area surrounded by trees, fields and wildlife. I found the staff and students to all be very welcoming, making the transition to another country a lot easier!

Studying abroad at Sussex was one of the best decisions of my life. From experiencing and immersing myself within a new culture, to the lifelong friends I made, to the challenging and thought-provoking academics, and to the fun nightlife and social side at Sussex, it was everything I could have asked for. As an exchange student from Chicago, culture in the UK was very different and I was anxious at first, but immediately upon my arrival at Sussex, I met loads of great people that I now consider my close friends. Sussex offers a variety of clubs and sports that I engaged in, all of which led me to meeting new friends. The student-body in general is full of welcoming and friendly people. Brighton as a city is very diverse with a lively nightlife from a variety of pubs, restaurants, and clubs and feels like it is its own little world. I personally bought a bus pass and would constantly go into Brighton where I quickly learned where everything was located and experienced everything the city has to offer. Also, the professors at Sussex are engaging and caring, yet challenge you and push you to be the best version of yourself.

I really enjoyed my time at the University of Sussex. Classes were challenging and intriguing enough to keep me on my toes, but not overwhelming. Professors and support staff were helpful and available for questions. Student Wellbeing team was particularly helpful in navigating challenges that arose, they provided great support in light of serious issues. Social scene was a lot of fun—Brighton is a great town for students and anyone 18+. Tons of fun bars, clubs, and other nightlife opportunities, all easily accessible by bus and train from campus. I think it would be more fun to live off campus, in the actual city of Brighton itself. There's so much going on in Brighton; the university itself is great, but Brighton is the place to be. Living on campus wasn't bad, but it did mean I spent less time in the city itself, which I would have liked to get to explore even more.
Pros

It was a nice academic experience

It was a nice experience, mostly academic wise. The support was quite useful many times as for an Erasmus students some things are not so straightforward. The modules were really great, and I was mostly satisfied by them. The quality of life is the one thing that was a bit concerning, especially hygene level of other flatmates, but also in general. I would have preferred that the academic enlightment was backed by good food and nice living conditions, that would have helped the study experience.

Eye Opening

My time abroad was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I loved learning a new culture and how things operated in a different country. I feel like this experience abroad has opened my eyes to realizing how big the world really is.

A life changing experience

My experience at the University of Sussex has been both challenging and rewarding. Moving from Spain to England was a big step for me, and while I was excited about the opportunity, I was also nervous about what lay ahead. Adapting to a new academic system and dealing with practical challenges. However, these obstacles helped me become more resilient and independent. Academically, Sussex has pushed me to expand my knowledge and skills. Working on projects, such as redesigning the eDreams website with Marta and Lucía, gave me valuable experience in teamwork and creative problem-solving. One of the most challenging parts of my academic journey has been learning MATLAB, but it’s something I now feel proud of, as it’s strengthened my analytical abilities. Beyond academics, I’ve really enjoyed being part of a diverse student community. It’s been a chance to meet people from different cultures, exchange ideas, and build lasting friendships. I’ve also learned to manage stress by using strategies like going for runs, listening to calming music, and staying connected with family and friends. Overall, my time at Sussex has been an incredible period of personal growth, preparing me for whatever comes next.

Best thing I have ever done for myself!

Choosing to study at the University of Sussex in Brighton was the best thing I could have done for myself as a 21 year old. Like many other individuals in their 20s, I was trying to find my footing in this complicated, yet exciting decade of life. I was craving growth and spontaneously decided to study abroad for my 2023 Winter Semester. My decision landed on Brighton, as I could feel its charm through pictures alone. After reading about the fascinating psychology research that the University of Sussex was involved in, I was sold. I made fast friends during initiation week, who would quickly become some of my favourite people. I joined the university soccer club (up the 1s!!!) and was enamored at how passionate every single coach and player was about the sport. I loved the seminar based courses, and interesting group projects that came along with these. Sussex aside, Brighton had my heart the second I hopped off the bus at Old Steine. The seaside, the lanes, the pier, the pub scene, and every square inch of the city helped make Brighton become my favourite place on earth. The peaceful campus that boards Stamner park, mixed with the buzz of the lanes and sea make for the perfect abroad experience.
