The location is fantastic in relation to public transport access as Falmer train station and bus stops are literally right outside the accommodation block, by train Brighton station is about ten minutes away from Falmer. The flat I stayed in was large, there was plenty of space for my three other flat mates and I, that being said at £140 a week (as it was at the time,) the flat was expensive in comparison to other halls. Stanmer court was quiet, not a space for parties. There is a small social room downstairs next to the laundrette. Also, when I lived there the bin area was always full of rats- one made its way into our kitchen (to be fair this was dealt with efficiently by management)

Location is okay simply due to the fact that it is 1min from Falmer station. Rooms are average. Social areas are lackluster/non existent.

The location is perfect for me as it's near the train station and bus stop but if you are someone who gets easily disturbed by the trains then probably it's not best for you. The facilities and social experience are good as well.

Stanmer Court was overall a nice accommodation experience, with some minor flaws. Starting off with the positives, this accommodation has a laundry room which is very convenient and not all other halls have one. Stanmer is right by the train station and the "falmer station" bus stop (going directly downtown) so it's very fast easy to get downtown quickly. Of course it's also an en-suite accomodation so all rooms have private bathrooms. On the other hand, the rooms were not that pretty inside, with some flats (mine) being in the basement (floor -1) making it very depressing, dark and ugly. My window had a "view" of a small hill (much like a wall) and the shared kitchen had only one tiny window letting almost no light in. This accommodation is also on the other side of the road from the main campus, connected by a tunnel, making it quite a long walk from the rest of the accommodation buildings and the co-op.

Location is right next to the station which is useful as can be used to get into Brighton, however it does take around 10 minutes to get onto campus. Can feel somewhat excluded, however is generally quiet. Staff very helpful, and any problems will be solved quickly. Room is spacious and has all facilities needed, kitchen can become very dirty depending on who you are living with.

Nice enough rooms, ensuite etc, with a laundrette on site, rubbish social element though, I got lucky with my room mates but a lot would never come out of their rooms

Stanmer is a peculiar place, there are not crazy parties and it is a little isolated from campus as its across the motorway underpassage. But for me, someone who has trouble sleeping and doesn't love noisy nights it was really ideal for me. You get an ensuite and it is really nice. You get a cleaner every week and honestly, I wouldn't change halls for anything. I know it is harder to make friends or go to parties in the accommodation, but you end up making friends from east slope and nothfields anyway! It isn't for everyone, some people might find it boring, but the facilities are the best I think, with a whole washing and dryer area! There's a games room too but not many people use it. The heating is amazing!
