Brighton

The location of the uni is great. It's out of town so you're not stuck with all the people in the city centre. There are great transport links around the city. There are many shops and there's always people about. The only downside is the travelling between campuses and Brighton is a multi campus university.

You need never get bored in this lovably eccentric city. There’s always something unexpected to enjoy – be it a sea-facing yoga class, watching a skateboarding Jack Russell, or browsing through a surprisingly good beachfront hippy market. The secret is to roam freely and keep your eyes peeled. Sure, Brighton has acquired a certain London sophistication in recent years, but sheeny glamour never wins out here. Head to the boho North Laine district, and you find offbeat designers and dingy flea markets happily melding with sleek restaurants and bars. Throw in gentrified Regency squares, oddball museums, and a clutch of well upholstered parks with traditional cafés attached – and you have a city that truly caters for all tastes.

Brighton is definitely the best place to study! I’m a music student, which fits in with the city perfectly. The music scene here is insane, with a bunch of gigs always happening within walking distance which you can either play at, or watch for fun. The nightlife here is always great, always busy and a night to remember

It is very nice to have the sea and the large pier with lots going on. Pier is quite expensive though. Lots of restaurants and quirky bars in hidden places. Some good clubs too.

My favourite place and definitely want to continue living here after uni! Feels like a safe city and everyone is accepting to others, there are many varieties of places for nights out including bars, pubs, clubs. Most are student friendly places and have reasonable prices or discounts.

Brighton is my favourite location and I'm so glad I came to uni here. As a city it gives you the chance to feel independent and there's many opportunities for things to do, yet it's a smaller city and also feels very safe and accepting of everyone. There are a variety of clubs, pubs, and other activities available, my friends and I love going to the karaoke booths on occasion. Being near the sea as well is lovely in the warmer weather to sit on the beach together and listen to music. It can be fairly expensive at times for accommodation but for a city that is to be expected, and there are many student friendly shops and places for reasonable prices. The buses are always regular and run late at night making it easy to get around, and the city is also very cycle friendly.

Loads to do. Always some event going on. Loads of diffferent shops. Brighton is huge with lots to do. There is something for everyone has Brighton has a lot of mainstream clubs as well as more 'edgy'clubs for those who arent to keen on rave or dance music. Food is the same loads of standard places to eat but also specialty vegan and vegetarian places. Has something for everyone

Absolutely perfect location - everything you could need and all very close together too. The town, the beach, halls, clubs, pubs, shopping, food, all within walking distance of each other. Couldn't be happier to live here. It's so convenient and really makes things go smoother.

Nice location and nightlife, it was overall a good experience and I would suggest any looking at unis to look at Brighton because it has a good nightlife and some good courses to get on

Brighton is the best place for student life. It is small enough to feel like a local and to really get to know the city, but it is big enough to never be able to get through all the pubs and have the best choice in nightlife.

Brighton is one of the most diverse cities in the United Kingdom. From night life,to food to shopping to the people that walk amongst it you will never not notice something new. There are small quaint pubs on near enough every street,who’s interior and bar range offer a new experience each time. The clubs in Brighton are incredible,you can go to a club and listen to anything from Hip - Hip/R&B to Jazz,Bashment and Drum and Bass you name it they will play in one venue or another. Some many amazing student deals to be found! The shopping on a whole is crazy,there are so many small independent shops and restariaunts you can find amazing cultured foods and pretty little window displays. If your wanting more of a shopping spree look no further than the Churchill square and the Lanes (North and South). All food requirements are catered for wether you and veggie,Vegan or Gluten intolerant etc. If your wanting things to do during the day there is a cool reptile shop in Kemp Town,the pier which you can spend hours at,the beach of course whether it is good or bad weather. There is the pavilion gardens and many small museums and live music always going on somewhere whether it be in the street or in a venue. There is also the Marina which has bowling and the Cinema which is always a good shoutfor a day out.

Amazing location, you have the stunning beach and in eneralnit's a very chill and interesting place. It's super close to London which is great. Loved the nightlife and the artistic vibe

The nightlife is amazing. There is always at least one club open each night. Brighton is so welcoming and live. There’s plenty of clubs at the seafront. If anyone likes retro shopping there are plenty of markets and small cute cafès. During the day you can sit by the beach. During the night you can socialize either at great bars or restaurants. Although taxis are expensive, you get bus journeys day and night ticket for 3.50 and you can use the bus as many times as you want until 4:30am. Brighton is a small city, but full of life. It is spiritual and welcomes anyone from anywhere. Another great thing about brighton is the fact that there are two universities and therefore makes nights out even more student friendly. In terms of food, there are many places to explore, for various food eaters, from meat to vegan. Overall, there are some negatives in terms of accommodation costs as I find it is very pricey.

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!

Clubs on the seafront are very good and the marina has a lot of decent places to eat and things to do. Night trains back are sometimes poorly timed if you commute so plan ahead.

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.

Great for nights out; lots of bigger places and also little bars and smaller clubs with great live music. Every shop under the sun! Only thing is can be quite expensive because of the tourism but if you explore enough there’s lots of tiny hidden gems.

Brighton is an amazing student location with loads of really great big clubs, and also quaint little clubs and bars with great live music. There is every shop under the sun and lots of boutique places and markets to explore. It is quite expensive because of the tourism bringing prices up, but if you live there you can find cheap little places that become your favourite spots! Only thing is that I wish University of Sussex was closer to the big city so it was easier to get into from halls! Apart from that it’s an amazing student city.

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!
