Amazing metropolitan town with both a sea front and a national park nearby. Visit the lanes and look through the wacky shops or go to any of the art galleries dotted around. For those who enjoy history there are tours of the pavilion available as well as a nice museum. The restraunts and cafes are also nice with a wide variety of independent businesses active.

Nights out for students in Brighton is great. Drinks are cheap and there are a lot of places to choose from. The food places stay open pretty late and there are also nice places to go during the days too. The beach and pier provide activities for the days and the hills keep you fit

Nights out are good there is a lot of unique bars slightly different from your average night out. There are so many cafes, and brilliant if you are into your eating and vegan etc! Caters for all!

quality nights out, big shopping centre, great restaurants/Deliveroo availability. only thing is everything is unnecessarily expensive everywhere.

Incredibly diverse and eccentric city full of likeminded liberal people. Great transport links, bars and shopping. Always something to do whether it be going to the beach, gigs or art events.

Great nightlife where everyone it's not overcrowded and there's never any trouble as people are just out for a good time. Lots of student nights which make going out great alive for money and good fun. 24 hour buses also make it very accessable

Brighton is a super cool city, it's amazing having a beach, the South Downs and the lanes - so many different things to do. Loads of different places to go for food and for nights out, really diverse and vibrant place to go to uni!

Some would say small but this city is by far my favourite city. Brighton has so much to offer for those in their younger days, and for those who refuse to grow up.

Brighton is an incredible city and you can never get bored of it. Whether you like big clubs or quiet like bars, Brighton has it all. There are student nights on every night of the week so you can always afford it and the public transport and night busses are great. The beach is a pebble beach so it’s perfect for a stroll or to eat lunch on daily without having to stress about how you are going to get rid of all the sand. The city itself is Green Party ran so it’s eco friendly initiatives are really refreshing. The only reasons that I can’t give Brighton 5 stars is 3 small reasons. 1 - brighton uni doesn’t have an SU. 2 - trying to drive around Brighton is a nightmare, however like I said the public transport is great anyway. 3 - the closest big shopping centre is an hours drive away. Brighton has lots of shops and independent stores but for a student looking for a cheap outfit, it’s not the best.

both beach and countryside - never gets boring - relatively quiet in winter, busy in summer - something different to do every night - surrounded by kind and understanding people

Brighton is simply an amazing place to live. Not only is the atmosphere so unique and diverse, you will never be lost for something to do! From exploring the lanes, to partying the night away at the vast array of nightclubs which cater for all, it truly is a beautiful city. In Brighton you don’t have to feel afraid to be yourself.

Brighton is the ideal location for a university student. Being in a small but busy city with a beach makes it the perfect transition from small town life to a fun city to spend three years of your life with. It’s so friendly and fun with a very kind and welcoming society.

Brighton is a really pretty city, it has something to do for absolutely everyone - there’s shops, cafes, restaurants etc everywhere, and there’s always somewhere to go out whether the nightlife you prefer is more mainstream clubs, classic pubs or underground bars. The pier is also fun for a touristy day out, and the beach is a great place to chill. The only downside is that it’s quite pricey

The shopping is definitely one of a kind would definitely recommend the night life is great there lots to do and see you never get bored a really good experience all in all

Scenery is lovely, one of the more expensive student cities in the UK in terms of rent/bills/transport. Everyone is quite friendly. Brighton nightlife is quite good, as a POC there are only about 2/3 clubs that attract POC.

Moving to the sunshine state of the UK was one of the best things I've ever done!! Sun, sea and so much in store for students! From amazing £3 nights out ending up smashed and stargazing on the beach to value-for-money shopping malls and lanes with student discounts everywhere! It is truly a dream uni location!!

There is so much to do in Brighton, you’re always close to the beach, the shopping centre, lanes. Can easily jump onto a train to Eastbourne, Lewes, Worthing. Devils dyke is always a great place to go for a walk. Nights out in Brighton are incredible, although can be fairly expensive. There are loads of pubs meaning you can spend a summers day having a pint with your housemates. Living in Brighton is great, although accommodation can be expensive; the experience as a whole is so worth it!

Sussex university was an amazing place to spend 3 years! Brighton is a magical place to live, the people are warm and friandly and there is always something to do. The best bars would be the hobgoblin or the pav tav. Campus won’t be the same without east slope as it’s being shut down. However it is very expensive to live in Brighton, my rent is far too high however it is understandable as Brighton is a popular place.

Brighton is the perfect student city. Offering the beautiful beach and iconic pier as well as plenty of cute idependent shops. It has hundreds of bars and clubs to choose from and a busy schedule all year round invluding festivals, concerts, markets and fun charity events. Brighton is a buzzing city, almost a mini London by the seaside.

Brighton is full of character - you'll always be able to find somebody else with the same random interests as you. I joined a 50 piece samba band and met such a great group of people. There's plenty of meetups and a really varied nightlife - you'll be able to find something to your taste! Loads of independent little shops and cafes which are fab and a small-scale town centre with a lot of the big names.
