I had to respond to Ben Brooks (Letters, June 6) about that veritable oasis, that jewel of the South Downs, possibly even the undiscovered Eighth Wonder of the World, known locally as Falmer.
He's right to hail the "undulating downland" playing host to the beautiful, sweeping vista - the A27.
The sprawling forest of "soaring trees" he waxes lyrical about are a sight to behold, as their noble, towering branches reach skywards.
And, of course, the ethereal beauty of the university buildings, particularly in twilight as the sun casts long shadows across the graceful concrete of the car park.
How can we think of spoiling this little patch of heaven?
This awe-inspiring landscape must be preserved for everyone, not just 22,000 people every other week for nine months of the year.
