University of Sussex Housing Information University of Sussex guarantees accommodation for students in university-managed housing, either on- or off-campus. All residences have single or double rooms. Students attending spring programs may have fewer housing options since assignments are based on room availability after the fall term or fall semester. All accommodation at the University of Sussex is self-catered, meaning that no meal plan is offered. If you do not wish to cook, you may use the wide range of dining facilities at the University on a pay-as-you-eat basis. University regulations require that you contract to remain in your assigned housing for the full duration of your program. Housing Preference Form Please return the enclosed form as soon as possible. We cannot submit your academic application to Sussex without your housing form. Since Sussex makes all housing assignments, you may only indicate preferences for smoking vs. non-smoking and mixed-sex vs. same sex housing.
