Nothing short of fantastic and transforming
Studying abroad has been an incredibly enriching experience for me, and my time at the University of Sussex has been nothing short of fantastic and transforming. The campus is beautiful, with state-of-the-art facilities that cater to all aspects of student life, with a little bit for everyone and tons of green spaces. I found numerous accommodation options, both on-campus and off-campus, and eventually chose to rent in the private sector, which provided a unique opportunity to experience the vibrant Brighton more intimately.
The city itself is wonderful, known for its lively atmosphere, diverse culture, and stunning seafront. There is a little bit of everything for all interests and ages, and the close distance to London makes the options even greater. Moreover, the surrounding county of Sussex is equally amazing, with charming little towns and hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. The South Downs, with their rolling hills and breathtaking views, offer endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, long walks and peaceful retreats.
The diversity at University of Sussex is one of the most enriching parts of the whole experience. It’s been amazing to make friends from all over the world, enriching my social experience and broadening my perspectives.
Enrolling in the Governance, Development, and Public Policy program at the Institute of Development Studies was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The lectures are intellectually stimulating and the faculty members are both knowledgeable and approachable, providing invaluable insights into global development issues.
Transitioning to studying in English was smoother than I anticipated, thanks to the exceptional support services offered by the university. Additionally, the application process was made incredibly straightforward by Across the Pond, who provided clear guidance and support every step of the way. Overall, my experience at the University of Sussex has been deeply transformative, both academically and personally, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering studying abroad.
