47 things you should never do as a Sussex uni student

With endless opportunities and a newfound sense of freedom, uni teaches some indispensable life lessons, such as how much alcohol tolerance you possess or how to live with people who steal your food.

However, there are many unspoken rules of university that, as a fresher, you can only hope to discover sooner rather than later.

To help you out, here is a list of the 47 crucial things not to do at Sussex University. You're welcome.

2) Don’t moan about the queue at co-op

3) Don’t ever forget your key when you live at Northfield

4) Don’t antagonize vegans

5) Don’t fuck in the Sussex library

6) Don’t get a photo with Jacob Rees Mogg

7) Don’t wear a Sussex hoodie unless you want to get bullied

8) Don’t pay with a tenner on the N25 bus

9) Don't proceed to argue with the bus driver if they complain about this
