Truly an amazing experience that I absolutely would not trade for anything else. Sussex has an extremely diverse student body and holds many different activities to encourage social interaction and cultural integration. They have an extensive list of societies suitable for whatever interests you - and if there's one that doesn't have your favourite hobby or activity, you can create a society yourself! Before going to Sussex I thought I'd only be experiencing the English way of living, but being put together in a house with nationalities from across the globe, I've learned so much more about various cultures such as Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Greek, American, Korean, Dutch, and even Estonian!
The fact that Sussex is located right in Brighton and is around twenty minutes from the town and sea by bus provides extreme convenience for the students to have a healthy balance between their academics and social life. There are so many quirky cafés, cute restaurants, and vintage shops in town! One can never get enough of all the food that these unique restaurants in Brighton offer and should definitely be part of one's bucket list to try all of them.
