The Belong at Sussex programme aims to bring a sense of belonging to students through various activities. Take a look below to see upcoming surveys and events for you to get involved in.
Commuter student survey
Are you a Sussex 'commuter' student – living at home, on your own, or far from campus?
Take part in the commuter student survey. It will only take a few minutes and you will be in for a chance of winning one of five £25 supermarket gift vouchers. Your input is valuable as it will play a crucial role in shaping the university experience for current and future commuter students.
Mature student survey
Take part in our 10-minute survey and help guide future mature students' activities at Sussex.
Mature Students Community Connectors have designed this survey to explore the experiences of mature students here at Sussex. Be in with a chance to win one of five £25 supermarket gift vouchers and help us better understand how we can improve your experiences as a mature student.
