Your housing
At Sussex, our accommodation offers unique benefits, so you can feel at home with us.
You will:

What I enjoy the most about Sussex is the cultural aspect. Being a residential advisor, I have had the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and create long-lasting friendships."

Support with your accommodation
You'll be supported by the Summer School team, from application to your arrival.
The Housing team will also help you when you arrive and with any problems you may have. Both teams will be on-hand to help you settle into life at Sussex.
We know that when you arrive in the UK you may feel nervous that you do not know anyone, but you'll receive an email invitation to join the private Goin’Connect group, so you can talk to students before you arrive.
Investing in our campus
We are investing in making our campus better through a programme of campus development. From transformative big builds to refurbishments across our existing estate, we are ensuring our iconic campus has the space and technology to help our students reach their potential.
Our exciting new West Slope development is the most significant build underway, with construction now taking place on campus. Whilst residents living on campus will be aware of our campus development work, for the vast majority it will not have any significant impact. However, some accommodation rooms will be impacted to a greater extent due to their proximity to construction works.
To see the location of our construction zone, view our campus map. More information about the expected impact on each residence is detailed on our accommodation pages and the Student Hub.
Campus life
Nestled in the stunning South Downs National Park, our beautiful single-site campus exudes a unique combination of tranquillity and energy.
