I studied at Sussex for 6 months (quit due to course reasons.. although halls situation didn't help!) and found the halls appalling. I was staying at Kent House (part of Park houses) and my boyfriend of the time was at East Slope. These were amongst the cheaper - non ensuite accommodations but still, I think they were badly maintained, badly laid out and dirty. Kent house had around 24 people per floor and 12 to a kitchen and bathroom. I.E 12 to ONE SHOWER!

I lived in Kent House, on the Sussex campus, for a year, in 2008/2009. Halls of residence in general at Sussex vary between the old and cosy East Slope, to en-suite bathroom accomodation with washing machines, american style fridges and plasma TVs.

I spent my first year as an undergraduate in the on-campus halls at Sussex during 2001/2002. In my experience, most first-years opt for this route rather than finding their own accommodation elsewhere in Brighton or the surrounding areas. The University is situated in Falmer, not Brighton, which is three miles away. Falmer consists of basically the Sussex campus, a branch of the University of Brighton Campus (which includes a quite-nice gym facility with pool), a small two-platform train station and a few cottages. That's it. You can specify on your housing form from Sussex if you would prefer a particular type of accommodation, for example - non ...  Read the complete review
