Every attempt will be made to match each student's preferences with our housing options; however, housing preferences cannot be guaranteed as roommate and housing assignments are based upon availability, date of confirmation, and other factors. We encourage you to apply early as it will assist us in organizing your housing arrangements.
Housing at the University of Sussex is university-managed and all housing assignments are made by the university. Both On-campus housing and off-campus housing are available to CEA semester and year students. Summer students will be housed in an on-campus residence hall. Upon submitting a housing application, student preferences will be forwarded to the University of Sussex for final assignment. While preferences are taken into account when assigning housing, no placement is guaranteed. Upon arrival, if you choose to make upgrades in your housing that result in an additional expense, that expense will be at your own cost.
Please note: Students participating in the Sussex in September pre-semester session in the fall semester will have a separate housing assignments for that session. Students will move to their permanent housing assignment for the duration of the fall semester or academic year.
