Brighton

Brighton is such a vibrant place offering both the seaside and the South Downs National park and a fabulous busy bustling city with an incredible range of shops, markets, restaurants cafes and everything a young person needs! The campus is situated 20 minute bus ride from town which is very handy and the campus itself it’s a perfect size!

Location is amazing cos I live near a beach and it’s easy to get around town, summer is so great because the clubs on the seafront open up and put out chairs and bed cushions to chill by the beach

Brighton is amazing, it has an array of shopping facilities and nightlife, the location is brilliant, it has a large train station that is easy to access for when you want to travel home. The location is on the coast so you have the luxury of living seaside as wel as an amazing pier.

As most people will know Brighton has everything. From windswept, pebble beaches, the beautiful lanes that never get dull, amazing night life and music scene, all surrounded by the beautiful South downs. You never run out of things to do, places to visit, gigs or shows to see or good night's out. Of course this all comes at a cost, Brighton is expensive, there's no denying it. But I would say it is totally worth it. There are so many amazing places to eat in Brighton, I've been here for 3 years and still have only scraped the surface. All the hidden gems are here to explore.

Brighton is an incredible city. It is so full of life and there is so much to do. The nightlife is brilliant as there is something for everyone ranging from drum and bass, jazz, and your classic pop chart nights. Brighton is known for its vintage shops which can be a nice change from high street stores. The beach is also fantastic and is the perfect location to chill with friends.

Brighton is for sure the most incredible city to live in. I've lived in London all my life so the bar was set high before leaving home. Brighton was instantly attractive and exciting as there is so much to do. The nightlife is incredible as there is something that suits everybody ranging from drum and bass, jazz nights and your classic pop chart nights. As Brighton is such a student populated town, there are student drink deals pretty much everywhere meaning that you don't always spend too much money. Brighton is also famous for its vintage shops meaning everyone looks super fashionable and there are many exciting things to pick from! The beach on a sunny day is a guaranteed good time and such a beautiful location for friends to come together to chill.

possibly my favourite city. defiently my favourite in the uk. so friendly, very accomodating area. Brighton is a very unique place very different to elsewhere in the uk. highly recommend living here to study.

Brighton is one of my favourite cities in the UK! First you’ve got an amazing beach and sea on one side, whereas South Downs National prk is on the other side of Brighton- so something to do and enjoy for everyone! Nights out are absolutely great/ many different clubs with different music and a good gay scene...Tthe drinks and entry to the clubs are too expensive though! Transport I think was rated one of the best in the country, buses are good and efffocient, and there are night buses for those coming back from nights out...Shopping is mostly good, as you get all the big names such as H&M, recently opened huge Zara, Topshop etc. but there are also a lot of cool independent shops( quite expensive though)Earing put is also good with restaurants of any kind to be found here! The price is not too big, which is good!

Great for shopping as there is a big shopping centre on Churchill square plus tones of places to eat; being well know places or quirky little cafes. Lots of clubs to go to like pryzm, shoosh, haunt and many more. There is easy transport from the uni to the town centre as the bus stop straight outside the uni goes directly to the pier and Churchill square.

Brighton is a really cool place to live. Filled with all the shops (the laines), bars, pubs and loads of really tasty independent restaurants. Oh and it's right by the beach!

There are endless opportunities to eat out and go for drinks but the vast majority are pretty pricey, the beach is one in a million

Great nightlife - coalition, concorde 2, sticky mike's frog bar and white rabbit regulars. Highly recommend Preston park/the rock gardens for when your skint! Vip pizza for the win!

Yeah, students love nightlife, and in Brighton it is second to none. But the city goes beyond that. There are hundreds of incredible independent shops in the laines, there are coffee shops and (vegan!!) cafes everywhere, there is a beautiful seafront to watch the sunset over, and we are surrounded by the South Downs National Park. We literally have everything - why would I live anywhere else?

Sussex university is located out of the center of Brighton, next to the football stadium. The location is great because it allows the campus to be open and spacious and everything is all in one place. While it is not in the city center, it's in the South Downs which make for beautiful scenery. Transport in and out of Brighton city center is easy there are regular buses to and from campus throughout the day and up to 4 AM.

Brighton is a lovely area with some great views and stunning locations. I study out of the calmer campus, which is right up next to the downs and so there is a great scenery to the university. Also a short bus ride into town and everything is there. Shops, restaurants, cafes and the beach front. There are so many wonderful clubs and pubs. You will never be bored on a night out

Brighton is an incredible place to live. It has a diverse and artistic nature and culture with striking views and friendly population. As a student, Brighton is great. There are lots of higher education providers and universities in the city which makes it quite a student friendly city. Finding a job in the city is a lot easier than you would think. There is a large quantities of small businesses and franchises alike making it perfect to find a job that suits you. The nightlife is also incredibly diverse. The music played in clubs differs massively. And the music scene in Brighton is large and renowned across the country.

Brighton is a wonderfully diverse and abstract city. It's full of lots of independant businesses; shops, cafés, restaurants, and bakeries. There's never a dull moment in Brighton, events and activities are on all the time. Why not go down to the pier with friends and play in the arcade, or maybe just settle with a good book and a drink on the beach. Pubs are two to every corner in the city, and there's a large strip of clubs that runs along the beachfront to choose from on Saturday night. If instead you prefer a night out to see a new movie, then there are multiple cinemas to choose from; the Odeon - a popular complex, as well as Cineworld (which is docked on the Brighton Marina), then there's the Duke of York Picturehouse, and the Duke at Komedia Picturehouse - two independent cinemas, that also contain unusual seating arrangements including balcony seats, and sofa seats. These cinemas also allow you to bring in hot food, hot drinks, and alcoholic drinks from their restaurant/bar underneath the cinema. Festivals are a must-go; Brighton hosts the notorious Great Escape Festival, which showcases famous artists, as well as hundreds of up-and-coming singers, songwriters, and musicians, all of which perform in various pubs, clubs, churches, and streets around. The North Laines holds independent cafés and handmade shops that makes your shopping day perfectly pleasing, and if those are a bit on the pricey side for you, Chruchill Square Shopping Centre is the place to go; chain clothes and shoe shops, well known restaurants, and popular brands can be found in this shopping centre. The city's bus schedule is outstanding; there are multiple routes that cover almost all the streets in Brighton, Hove, and the surrounding area. Certain bus routes are as regular as every 2-5 mins, with others 10, 15, or 20 mins.

Good old Brighton. Clubs, shopping, good transport links and Brighton pier, not much else you can ask for.

A variety of places to go on a night out, good for a wide array of music taste etc. Shopping is pretty varied too, from smaller independent shops to bigger chains. Pretty expensive but student events are common and offer value for money

Perfect location for a uni. While living on campus you can feel free to have fun with friends, and it’s only 20-30 mins from the city centre

Though it is very expensive they're is a wide range of things dmto do and it is a unique place that I will love forever.

Brighton is a great town that is safe for the lgbt community. There is various bars id say one for everyone (ranging from vinyl lovers to musical fanatics).

Always something going on and bloody beautiful living by the beach in the summer! The nightlife is varied and there’s plenty of events to choose from and the food selection for vegetarians/vegans is unrivalled.

I LOVE Brighton and couldn't be happier about living here during my studies. One of my favourite things about it is all the independent companies. There's so many indie clothes shops, restaurants and music stores which gives the city so much character. The people are extremely genuine and being near the seaside is close to home.
