Review
Sussex is an incredible community, however the university itself massively fails it in this way. Built on a colonialist, capitalist and money-hungry leadership team, The University of Sussex does little to make it's exchange students' time easy or enjoyable. The welcome event consisted of drone shots of the pier with no substantial information about healthcare, academic or financial help. The learning style at the university was so very different and less supportive than my home uni. The SU is wonderful though!
Would you recommend this program?

Hey I'm really sorry to have to write this review but I am just trying to be honest in a world where students and young people need support and I received next to none. If you wish to continue to prioritise foreign exchange and international students over domestic ones (which is ludicrous in the first place considering your uni environment is so hostile), you need to give information on: HEALTHCARE, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, GRADE AGGREGATES IN THE CASE OF ILLNESS AND BEREVEMENT, SEXUAL ASSAULT SUPPORT, FINANCIAL SUPPORT. Not just drone shots of Brighton and recommendations of good theatre. I am happy to be contacted if you want anymore info :)
