Lauren's perspective

'Campus life is one of the major benefits of studying at Sussex. When I first came to visit Sussex I fell in love with the place.

'As you're living so close to where you study it really encourages you to make the most of your degree. You can meet up with tutors to get advice on dissertation topics, spend an evening studying at the Library or even get to an early morning lecture 20 minutes after you wake up!

'When you need to take a break from studying, there are plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops on campus where you can grab some food - and it's all tailored to the student budget.

'There are some good bars on campus and a nightclub and, if you want to venture further afield, the bright lights of Brighton are a mere eight minutes away by train.'
