Brighton

I lived in Barcelona and still missed this hedonistic city. There are so many beautiful and open minded people here that help make it what it is: a hedonistic, creative paradise. There is something for everyone in this cosmopolitan hub.

The widest range of eateries, bars, clothes shops and other retail stores- a must when on the south coast!!

Now in my 5th year living in Brighton, I'm still amazed by how much there is to do and see. Brighton has the liveliness and ambience of big cities like London, with plenty of countryside to get your dose of nature too, and all of which easy to get to. My favourite part of Brighton is easily the food scene. With an extensive list of restaurants, cafes and pop up restaurants there is plenty to explore, especially with the wide range of cuisines available. The music and entertainment scene in Brighton is also buzzing. Not just all the gigs, shows, clubs and concerts and the Brighton fringe festival, but also just when walking down the street.

A beautiful city. Full of things to do with great restaurants and all the popular shops. The beach is one of the best sights with lots of attractions across the shore. A residential area but full of students so lots of great nightlife

Brighton is a great city for students. It has great bars and clubs that are priced with the student in mind. Loads of places that do student discount. Town has a decent amount of shops. Has a number of gyms too.

I love living in Brighton. I did my undergraduate in a much smaller town so it's refreshing to be somewhere where there is so much going on. Everything you need is within walking distance, plus the beach with a bear, clubs on the sea front, large retail shops and lots of restaurants, bars and pubs. The transport in Brighton is good, although gets slightly worse as you go further out the centre (as in any city).

I absolutely love living in Brighton as a uni student ! The small city combines with the amazing lanes with lots of unique shops and restaurants is so cozy. The pier is a day out in itself and not forgetting the nightclubs along the seafront where I have made the most amazing memories. Brighton has so much more to offer than just fish and chips and I would definitely love to live here permanently in the future !

Brighton is the best place for music, vegan food and lots of independent shops. The BOK shop is my ultimate favourite for vegan burgers, and Concorde 2 is fab for music. There are so many things to do in Brighton, from nights out at the Haunt go shopping in the lanes, you never get bored! One thing I would say is in order to get value for money on nights out, food etc would to be mostly do things on weekdays. Wriggle is also an excellent app for deals on independent restaurants, as is obviously apps such as UNiDAYS and student beans. One thing I would improve would be for there to be shops like the range, home bargains and B&M. Also, despite students being able to get slightly cheaper bus tickets, I do think universities should do more to make it even cheaper as often some students do not go to uni due to being unable to afford travel.

I find Brighton is incredible for nights out! The nightlife is always buzzing with amazing offers on cocktails before 12! The restaurants are the best and even offer student discount which is amazing for those studying with not a lot of money. Although rent is more expensive than other places, it is worth the money to live in such a beautiful area.

Brighton is a great place to live in and visit. It is a really vibrant city with lots to do. It is a young and arty city with plenty of hipster coffee shops and vintage cloth shops. No one really judges anything in Brighton you could see someone wearing the most outrageous outfit and in Brighton no one would care. There are plenty of bars, pubs and clubs you can go to if you want to go on a night out and plenty of shops around the city centre if your looking for a great outfit.

Very vibrant city, perfect for students and young people but not only limited to those. With access to sea and multiple entertainment venues, Brighton attract people every year. It is a very diverse, friendly and a rather liberal city, where any quirks are accommodated for.

Its virtually the same price as london but you dont get any of the cool art galleries or the luxury of getting more student loan for living in such a gentrified area. However, Sussex uni is so good for academic subjects like computing, engineering, biology etc - can't speak for brighton uni. Dislike the main clubs and bars (pryzm, revenge, yates, etc) but patterns is sick, so is Sticky Mike's but its closing down/has closed down :( The beach is also terrible cause the pier closes at 8(why????) and its a pebble beach so sitting/lying/walking/running on the beach is a hecking hassle 0/10 for the 'beach'. Overall I can't wait to leave but most people I talk to love brighton so maybe I'm mental?

Amazing city to live in. Always alive and there's always something to do. Great place, would recommend to anyone!

Lively city with things to do 24/7. Beach, city and countryside. Plenty of bars and clubs for various scenes- from gay clubs to drum and bass. You can find anything in the centre which is focused in one place. From the Lanes unique shops to Churchill Square. London prices in most places.

Brighton is a lovely place because there's always something to do. Not only this but it's student friendly so they always offer events that are suitable for students.

There's a large variety of places to eat with amazing food, most that are pretty cheap. Most buses are every 10-30 minutes and there are also taxis that are pretty quick!

Brighton is a city on the coast bursting with life and energy. There is so much potential for life in Brighton with housing to suit everyone from students to families to the retired, we have popular attractions such as the new i360 tower to view Brighton's most incredible coast line, delicacies from all over the world and venues that run all night long for those night life lovers.

I love Brighton! I feel so much safer here than in London. The buses run until really late and there's always something to do or see, especially for music students.

Throughout my year and a half that I've been living in Brighton while at uni, I have never had a bad experience. I can easily see why it's voted the happiest city for students in the world. In terms of diversity for restaurants, Brighton has anything you could ever want. When it comes to night life, there are so many different options for different types of tastes. Of course, one downside is how much renting in Brighton costs, with prices pretty much equalling London. Personally, that's a small price to pay for such a great city to live in.

Good student nights in a variety of clubs most nights of the week and a large variety of things to do; such as shopping and go to the beach. The nightclubs are good and a good variety of music and events.

Whatever your taste in music there's a night out for you and whatever your taste in food there's a place for you to dine out. Takes a little bit of exploration to discover hidden gems but well worth it once you find your favourite place in town that's specifically for you

Great city near the sea. Very touristy and lots of international people there, as well as a young population due to the university being there.

I love Brighton, the culture down here is amazing the night life is wicked, I always feel safe and touch wood so far I have never had any problems down here. It's great having the beach local too. And the clubs are really good there's a lot of choice. Honestly I love Brighton. Also good for transport too, one train from Brighton goes straight into central London so that's good too.

The town is great with so much variety and choice for everything and everyone. For students there are so many clubs and different nights out there is something for everyone no matter what their taste and loads of great restaurants and deliveries for the hangover the next day. It's a very pretty place to live as well with the beach, pier and lanes it doesn't get much better. Transport is also amazing which is a big factor for me and the buses run so regularly with so many different buses going to different locations throughout Brighton and the cost being relatively affordable though it could be better.
