Brighton

Brighton is a great student city and full of young people. Transport is good but pretty expensive compared to other places like London!! The food is amazing and there's such a good variety. Overall Brighton has a great vibe and people are generally happy and inclusive so it's a nice place to live. The beach is lovely as well.

So so happy I chose Sussex!! Brighton is just the BEST place everrr!! So much fun, the best nights out and everyone is SO lovely:)

Brighton is a vibrant and inclusive city. It has everything! Everything from amazing food and restaurants with a massive selection for vegetarians, to cozy independent shops selling locally sourced stuff, to a brilliant evening scene filled with a love of music and people.

There are lots of places to eat, especially for vegans which I find harder in other cities. Overall it's quite expensive to live here however it's worth it for the overall friendly vibes :-)

There are a lot of clubs for all ages, specially for students. There are many restaurants near the pier, and a walk through the lanes is beautiful.

Brighton is ultimately the best place to be. It's whole vibe is indescribable. There is constantly plenty to do, from the laines, to the variety of pubs and of course, the beach and pier is what truly makes Brighton.

Brighton is comparable to a little bit of London. Difference is that it's a small seaside city so you can enjoy the sea front and view. It does have the main Churchill Square where all the shops are conveniently placed. Transport can be quite pricey but students do get 25% bus tickets. Shops and cafes usually close around 6pm so doesn't give many opportunities for late night browsing. Prices are almost the same as London would be so or sometimes more.

Brighton is the most beautiful city. The perks of a small town feel with a busy city buzz and next to the sea. Definitely the nicest place I can imagine spending three years of education. However, it is also the most expensive place I can think of that's outside of London which can be a struggle.

Brighton is a very vibrant city with so much to offer from the Beach & the Pier to shops in Churchill Square. The food is delicious and there's so much to do that you'll never be bored visiting here. I definitely recommend coming here to live as a student. And the nightlife is exciting. Brighton has a few nightclubs in close proximity to each other so you always have options when you are on a night out.

There are countless things to do in Brighton. It's my favourite place to be. I'm a photographer and filmmaker and I often find the best shooting locations in and around Brighton. There's activities for all the family, young and old. The pier and The Laines are popular choices, but I usually find the most interesting locations when I set off without a plan or a map. Attempt to get lost in Brighton and you'll have an amazing day!

There could not be a better place to be a student than Brighton, there is everything you could ever want from a town and then some! Not forgetting being right next to the beautiful English coast! There's food for everyone of all diets and nights out for anyone of any walk of life - you can't go wrong

Brighton is a beautiful and incredibly fun place to study and live - so many options both chain and independent for entertainment, food, shopping etc etc etc. My biggest complaint however is - the price ! Brighton, as much as it is lovely, is a very expensive place to live as a student. Rent, nights out etc just do not compare to other far more budget friendly student cities. Transport is very accessible but is one of the greatest costs with it being £2.60 for a SINGLE bus journey - it's £1.50 in London. Always something to do in Brighton but just be aware that it will cost you, but it's hard to not feel like it's worth it sometimes.

Really diverse city with - very chilled atmosphere. Anything goes which means you can wear what you want and act how you want without anyone caring too much.

Brighton is a lovely place to go to for a weekend; we have the beach, the pier, cinemas, zip wire, even the i360! The community is so accepting and you never feel out of place. Every year Brighton holds a parade for Gay Pride: a moment where everyone comes together and forgets about any discrimination they have ever felt or received by others. You'll never be short on choices for places to eat, over 100 different cafés and restaurants, with different cultures too! However, the one downside may be that they are a little on the pricey side. Of course, we're a seaside town and we gain a lot of tourists which companies have seen as their chance to make as much money as possible. On the other hand, there are still many places with decent and affordable prices. Let's not forget the Brighton Palace Pier, with its famous doughnuts, arcade, and roller-coasters! Along with our amazing shopping centre (with shops such as Victoria's Secret, Yankee Candle, Debhenams, Topshop and more - even a food court) Brighton has a huge high street: a shoppers paradise. Overall, Brighton is the perfect place to visit for adventure, a casual or romantic meal, and a day out at the shops. Make sure you visit, especially near Christmas!

Many clubs, restaurants, niche shops and a decent shopping centre so there's plenty of things to do. People are generally friendly and welcoming although there is a slight homeless problem in the area.

Lots of things to do. Shopping and quirky little antique shops. Walking through the lanes to see lots of independent cafes selling a variety of vegan and vegetarian foods. Lots of coffee shops with big seating areas allowing students to sit and do work in a good atmosphere. Going to the pier with spare change is always fun as well. Lots of bar ands cocktail places for an evening of drinking or pubs for one or two.

Nights out in brighton are great, there is a lot of choice of places to go, both pubs and clubs, and there are many student nights with drink deals. There are also many nice restraints to eat out at, one of my favourites is donatellos, an Italian. There is a shopping centre but the individually owned shops in the lanes are the best and you'll find some super quirky ones too.

Amazing city with lots of things to do. Great nightlife, restaurants, shopping and a beautiful beach.

Brighton is a great city with tons of great places to eat as well as independent cafes and bars to choose from. In the summer the beach is the greatest place to hang out with friends and in the winter explore the hundreds of cosy pubs Brighton has to offer.

The area around the university is quite quiet amd nice. Its close to the beach which is great if you need a little down time

If anyone is interested in studying at Brighton whether it is at University of Sussex or Brighton University, the location is absolutely perfect. I study Computer science with AI at the University of Sussex which is a great university because of its location. The campus has everything you need but can be expensive. This is why you should look for stuff outside of campus such as groceries can be bought from supermarkets in Brighton for a whole lot cheaper. The transport from the university is very handy there is the train service and bus service. Unfortunately only the bus runs in the night. The train is the quickest and the cheapest to get to brighton from the university esspecially if you have a rail card like the 16-25 rail card you can get a discount on the train so a return from Falmer to Brighton is only about £3.20 which to me is cheap. For nights out there are lots of pubs, bars and nightclubs if your into that sort of thing otherwise the pier is open late if you want to go there. Shopping wise they have the same sort of shops you would expect to see in any city so Debenhams, M&S, H&M, Whsmith, Flying tiger etc. There are lots of restaurants to eat out as well but as a student there are lots of fast food restaurants like Burger King, KFC, McDonalds, Subway etc. but there are also the better fastfood places like itsu. Money wise it just like any other city. Entertainment they have a bowling alley and 2 cinemas plus the Brighton pier for rides and the arcade, which is quite fun to go to.

Great nights out, can be expensive but if you know where you like theres plently of cheap places to eat and drink in the centre. Music scene is great and there are plenty of events to enjoy throughout the year

Brighton is an amazing city for students and young professionals. the population of this city is mainly students as there are two universities inside it - Brighton University and University of Sussex. They really are telling the true when they say that Brighton never sleeps, the town is always filled with people, local pubs and clubs are also great for socialising and meeting new people. However, on the down side, the costs of public transportation are very high... they're even higher that those of London, for example, a single journey on the bus costs around £2.80..

Great nights out as a big student community in the Brighton area. So many nice places to eat, especially near the seafront where there is always life. Fairly expensive as it is a popular place both to live and visit. Overall an amazing city to live in, so much to do and a great friendly and chilled out atmosphere.
