Here are some official photos of the alumni meeting at the University of Sussex.
The uni is on a big tree-filled hillside campus of multiple brick buildings, brick and concrete. The buildings are housing the library, students' union building, and departments. And a multi-storey car park.
The distinctive circular building is the Meeting house. It is a non-denominational chapel.
A supermarket or two, enable self-catering and special diets. The student and postgrad accommodation is sufficient to house all the students on site. But more students are overseas in China.
We saw these buildings on a walking tour after our alumni lunch for the decades of 1960s and 1970s.
The total numbers at last year's count for the year which runs authum to autumn, 2023-2024 was about 17-19,000 students, according to which source you take.

The people attending the event were all sent about seventy photos taken by the official photographer. My husband selected the ones showing himself and me and forwarded them to me.
