Anabel's perspective

'I'm a final-year Mechanical Engineering student and I've lived on campus both as a new student and now as an on-campus Residential Advisor (RA), and I can really recommend it.

'Starting life as a new student is an experience often filled with trepidation for some, and excitement for others. As an RA, my job is to make the transition from living at home to going to university as easy as possible.

'In addition to my personal experiences at Sussex and the relationships I've built up with staff here, the specific training I've been given as an RA enables me to help with many of the day-to-day issues students face or to offer advice on where they can go to get assistance.'
