What made you choose Sussex?

I chose Sussex because of its strong reputation for academic excellence and its vibrant and diverse community. The university's commitment to interdisciplinary studies and its innovative approach to teaching and research appealed to me. The campus is an amazing and unique place to be situated in, and despite being born and bred in Brighton, no other university stood out over Sussex.
