Sussex is a great place to be when it comes to accommodation - with University places for over 3,000 students - and dedicated help with finding space off- campus.

As an undergraduate, it provides you with an accommodation guarantee for your first year. There is also a guarantee for new full-time research postgraduates and non-EU Masters degree students. Check out the details in the housing office.

Accommodation ranges from halls of residence to flats and houses. Most students live in single rooms with toilet, shower and kitchen facilities shared with four or five others. All residences are self-catering. Rooms have single beds, wardrobes, desk and chair, telephone and most have washbasins. There are some en-suite rooms available. Typical prices range from £51 to £58 a week.

A key Sussex feature is the Residential Advisers: second or third year students who also live in student accommodation to help you settle in and get to know the University. There is also a 24-hour housing reception and security office and it has the own emergency team on campus.

There is also student accommodation in Brighton for those who prefer to live off-campus. After their first year, most students live in Brighton. To help you find places, the Housing Office, produces a list of available accommodation and runs housing workshops.

Dedicated postgraduate accommodation is available for you either on campus in Brighthelm or off-campus in Kings Road overlooking Brighton Beach. Kulukundis House is designed to meet your requirements if you have physical disabilities and may need assistance with your day-to-day care. There also are about 70 family flats in University owned properties for students with children.
