At the University of Sussex Reed students can study in any of the 10 schools offering coursework in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. Covering a vast spectrum of disciplines, the courses offered at US allow students the flexibility to specifically tailor their learning experience. Courses are generally small, relying heavily on student discussion and participation. Sussex's excellent academic reputation, its emphasis on small group teaching and its location on the coast in Brighton within a short distance by train to London has brought students and scholars from 114 different countries.
Students will live either in dormitories or off-campus in privately organized housing, and will find plenty of on-campus options for snacks and sandwiches. There is no meal plan at US, however, so students should expect to make most of their own food. Some campus amenities include a dentist, a health center and pharmacy, a student union, and multiple fitness and sports centers. Over 165 student clubs, societies, and sports teams are available to all students, and provide valuable social networks for international newcomers. Numerous large-scale social events and spectacles are organized throughout each semester as well, in order to give students a break from their studies.
