Brighton

The town is great there’s always something going on whether it’s day or night ranging from art shows, comedy, live music gigs, dj’s at clubs. The town itself is so beautiful with the seaside on your doorstep you’re never far from it which is great in the hot summer days. In Brighton you can be anyone, wear anything, so whatever and no one will flutter and eyelash.. all people are welcome and there’s such a huge range of people. It’s hreat I love it, couldn’t have gone to university anywhere else... I just wish it wasn’t so expensive or the government loan would be raised like for London if you’re a student in Brighton.

Brighton town is full of hundreds of different places and people that all make up the town. Lived here for nearly 2 years now whilst at uni and met many people from the town who are all so different. There’s so many clubs, bars and pubs to choose from here too, all providing different experience. The living cost is doable if you look in the right place and don’t let someone rip you off too.

Amazing location, with lots of cute quirky independent bars, pubs and restaurants. Quite pricey but worth it.

Lovely city with a great beach and nightlife. Housing is very expensive but you have a great experience here. Amazing food with lots of choices.

The nights out are fun and lively with a range of university students from Brighton and used university! Sussex is a campus university while also being 9 minutes away by train from the centre of busy Brighton! There is a shopping centre in the middle of town which has all the shops anyone would need !

I love living in Brighton! It’s safe, fun, and scenic. The beach is beautiful and there’s tons of amazing street art everywhere, and more shops than you could ever need. There are also a lot of cool bars (something for everyone!) and the nightlife is great too - especially The Haunt. Brighton is the best and I’ll be sad to leave next year!

Uni is right in the centre of town about a 4 min train away. Right by the beach and shopping centre

Brighton is epic. It's all here from pubs, bars, clubs, quirky shops, cafes, restaurants, thousands of free events and of course the beach. We have the festival in May...we have one of the most beautiful torch lit processions to celebrate the shortest day, we have PRIDE, we have Paddle Round the Pier, we have more food festivals than you can shake a falafel wrap at. I'm never bored..if anything I'm also trying to work out how I can cram in all the free things. And if you do need the big city, the London is a hop jump away on the train and for travels further afield, Gatwick is half an hour on the train. Seriously...get here. You won't leave after Uni.

Night out are great, plenty of choice every night for every taste - could do with more duh event based nights. Food is good, drinks are expensive! Close proximity to London makes everything very very expensive, but it’s london by the sea!!

Brighton nightlife is diverse. Great music venues. Shopping is great all the classic high street stores & some amazing independent stores in Brighton. Night buses are regular. Not much cheaper than London to live in though !

Plenty shops, cinema, museums, swimming pools, clubs and trains/buses connecting you to Brighton and to Falmer where Brighton/Sussex campuses are.

Honestly, getting my second university choice was like a gift from God. Brighton so far, has been an amazing new addition to my life journey, and I am hoping discover more adventures with this happy city even more! You've got the sun, sea, nightlife, wildlife and greenery! Even more, there is gay pride, veganism thriving and a multitude of festives and music! For the university itself, Sussex is situated nearby Stanmer Park full of deep flourishing woodlands, luscious rolling pastures and agricultural land that seems to blossom come by Spring. Not only this, but huge events and happenings occur only metres away from the University, which are hosted by the Amex stadium, as well as being close to accessible public transport to get in and around the city of Brighton. As for the community, everyone I have met thus far have been an absolute dream. I for one just love it here.

Brighton is a great place to live but you do have to count on spending more money towards living because it isn’t the cheapest place to live. I believe that Brighton is one of the best places to go out, any night you would want to go out there is always someplace to go and drinks are that much cheaper on student nights out. I love going to the haunt, pryzm, patterns (donuts), revenge, shoosh, the arch and many more places. There is a place for everyone to go and they over great deals for when buying tickets or being put on guest list for cheaper entry. I have also to quite a few pubs and bars, there good vibes only. The food in Brighton is great, there is loads of choice. Some places are cheaper than other places and some places are fancier and more expensive but any place you go to is great. In Brighton there is always something to do, so no need to worry about getting bored during the weekend.

Although extremely expensive, being in Brighton gives you the perfect balance of city, seaside and country with Devils Dyke, the Lanes and beach just a cheap bus ride away. The city is always busy, full of music, art and culture which is perfect for the Performing Arts degree I am taking.

Brighton is a great city to go to university in. There are loads of cool bars and cafes as well as nights out. The lanes are always great for browsing, even if you’re not buying. And of course, there’s a beach!

As a student, and a vegan, in Brighton it can occasionally be quite pricey to live here. But it is by far the most enjoyable place. There are plenty of options when it comes to food, shopping, eating out, going out, and for events and activities. Being just by the sea provides lovely views and great days out when it’s nice and sunny. Shopping-wise you have Churchill Square, main high street, the lanes, London Road shops, not to mention Hove high street. There are loads of great events here too, people are always organising things like food tasting, vintage clothing fairs, festivals, gigs, visitors etc. Planning nights out can be tough from the amount of venues to go to, but most are right on the seafront or nearby, but for students they’re usually not too pricey, and if you do it right, you always end up at one of the countless kebab shops dotted around.

Great place so many different food places catering for all vegans, veggies, meat eaters. Different cuisines also available. Range of shops for food shopping all supermarkets and also speciality shops and food markets on. Shopping for gifts and clothes etc so easy great shopping centre with high street shops and also the pained for a more unique shopping experience and independent and vintage stores. Nightlife- always something on for everyone no matter what you’re into or what night of the week it is. Transport is fine southern can be a bit of a nightmare but regular bus service reasonably priced for students. Rent can be very expensive and mould/damp can be a real issue.

The university is in a great location. We're about a 30 minute bus journey or 10 minute train journey away from the main town, Brighton. Travel is unfortunately very expensive (2.50 for a bus single) but then again, everything in Brighton is very expensive. You can never really cheap night out, unless you buy a few cans and sit on the beach, but nights out are great. There are loads and loads of bars and clubs. Shopping is great too, there is a shopping centre as well as the laines. The laines offer unique and interesting things.

Brighton has pretty much everything you could ask for but it comes at a (literal) price. Pubs and rent are basically the same as London, but the buses are horrifically expensive. Luckily you can walk most places and there are plenty of cheap student nights. Nightlife caters to everyone's tastes. So many cultural activities and events, festivals throughout the year, and such a diverse mix of people to meet. Easy access to some beautiful walks in the South Downs and lots of beautiful architecture. Incredible shops. So much amazing food. Everything tempts you to blow your student loan.

The Falmer campus is really close to the centre of Brighton. The town is full of coffee shops to study in and night clubs.

Brighton is a great city to be a student. It has a variety of nightlife, restaurants and of course, the beach! I did find that rent in Brighton was a lot compared to what my friends in other cities were paying, but I enjoyed the experience. There are lots of things to do in Brighton, including the fringe festival in the summer. There are lots of free events so definitely worth a visit!

Brighton is an amazing city with an array of shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes bars.. not to mention the beach. It is quite expensive to live here, so to enjoy all there is to offer, a part time job is often needed.

A night out is crazy in brighton because the town os designed for students which also has a chilled out atmosphere. Lots of culture as well as a pub on pretty much every road. Idk how any of them make money with so many of them. Not too many shops but theres churchill square and its pretty expensive to live there for such a hipster / decaying town but god for uni. Oh and bus drivers are the biggest douchebags ever idk why theyre so angry all the time.

Brighton is such an amazing city. With countless amounts of nightclubs, pubs and bars, there really is something for everyone on a night out. There’s mainstream shops in Churchill square and the high street and more quirky shops in the Laines - which is a day out in itself. There’s also Brighton marina which has loads of places to eat, and activities to do like the cinema, arcade, bowling and glow in the dark mini golf. Nights out aren’t the cheapest, it being a big city and all, but you’ll definitely have a good time. There’s 2 major universities and loads of colleges in the area so it really is a student city.
