Commuting to university

One in seven undergraduate students commute to the University of Sussex. Here’s what you need to know about commuting to university, so you can make the right decision for you.

Living at home while studying

Choosing to live at home while you’re studying can give you greater flexibility, lower costs and the comfort of familiar surroundings. 

About 13.5% of Sussex undergraduate students live more than six miles from campus – almost one in seven, so you’re in good company.

There is no right or wrong way to do university. Take the time to weigh up your options and make a decision that benefits you.
