I made the best friends
July 21, 2026by: Rachel Winfrey - United StatesThe University of Sussex gave me the opportunity to make great friends through an abroad meet-and-greet at the beginning. Through the class set up it was easy to travel and still make good grades. I felt like it was very lax and allowed me to immerse myself in exploring. The housing setup was a bit rough for me since my roomates were disgusting and made shared spaces difficult to go into. Brighton is a quick train ride away and a great city.
Studying, Exploring, and Growing at Sussex
July 21, 2026by: Mariona Jeffery - SpainComing to Sussex was not only academically enriching, but it also gave me the opportunity to meet students from all over the world as well as local British students. The University of Sussex and the city of Brighton offer so many exciting activities and things to do, making it easy to get involved and make the most of your time here! I would highly recommend joining a society. Whether it's the Walking Society, where you can explore the beautiful South Downs and enjoy the stunning natural surroundings, or Pilates to unwind and stay active, there is something for everyone. In addition, I really enjoyed the content of my modules. The lecturers were fantastic, and the seminars were engaging! Overall, my time at Sussex has been an incredibly rewarding academic and personal experience!
The best time of my life
July 21, 2026by: Wilma From - SwedenMy exchange at University of Sussex has been one of the best experiences of my life! Not only did I grow as a person, but I also made memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. I wouldn’t trade my exchange experience for anything in the world. I also had the opportunity to take creative courses that aren’t offered at my home university, and they were incredibly enjoyable. They made me realize that the creative field is where I truly want to build my career. Brighton is an amazing city as well, it’s the perfect size, and the people are so friendly. I felt at home from the very beginning. Another huge plus was how well the university looked after us exchange students. There were so many fun activities at the start of the semester, which made it easy to meet people and make friends. I will always be grateful for my exchange experience at University of Sussex!
