Everything on your doorstep
The best thing about life on campus is that everything is close by. The restaurants, shops and sports facilities are just a short walk away from the ISC and your accommodation.
Places to eat
All University-managed residences have self-catering facilities, so cooking your own meals is both easy and fun. However, if you don't want to cook you can find plenty of places to eat, at reasonable prices. Self-service restaurants serve everything from coffee to a three-course meal. The school cafés are also a good place for lunch and are popular with students and staff.
Campus shops
You can buy all the basic things you need on campus. There are two grocery stores, a newsagent, a post office, a launderette, an insurance agency and bookshop. There are also two banks with cash machines.
Healthcare services
The University of Sussex campus offers a variety of medical services including a health centre, a dentist and a pharmacy.
Facilities for worship
The University includes people from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds and will respect the needs and requirements of people who adhere to a range of cultural and religious beliefs. There are several places for worship on campus.
Leisure time on campus
Living on campus means you will never be bored. The Students' Union runs over 70 societies and 30 sports clubs that you can enjoy in your leisure time. Whatever your interest, it is a great opportunity to try something new. There are a number of bars and cafés on campus where you can catch up with your new friends.
Campus events
The Students' Union runs several major events throughout the academic year. New students at the University are called 'freshers' and are welcomed during Freshers' Week with many social, academic and welfare induction events. The biggest event for new students is the Freshers' Ball - a night of music, dance and getting to know your fellow students.
Campus and beyond
If you want to take a short break from your studies, the campus offers areas of peace and tranquillity. The University is situated in the South Downs, designated by the UK Government as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are acres of rolling green parkland where you can escape the hectic pace of campus life. And, if the countryside is too quiet for you, it is only eight minutes to Brighton by train.
