Living in Brighton as a student

The seaside town of Brighton is home to many of the 21,000 students studying at the University of Brighton and is also popular with students from The University of Sussex. Brighton is located on the eastern coast of England, and dates back to the Bronze age and the Anglo-Saxon period where early settlers made their home in Brighton.

Across Brighton, there are many student properties available. The University of Brighton manages 18 university halls, and within the town of Brighton there are 12 privately managed halls. Within University managed halls, there is the option of either self-catered, catered, en-suite or shared bathroom packages. All first-year students are guaranteed a place in university managed accommodation, provided they meet the eligible criteria.

There are also multiple properties offered by private accommodation providers, that offer a viable alternative to university halls. In private accommodation, there are often double or ¾ bedrooms, that include an en-suite. Many providers also include extra facilities such as a TV as well as private laundry facilities and cleaning services. However, many second- and third-year students choose to live within Brighton in private properties. This accommodation type is suitable for groups of four or more and is often provided by private landlords or letting agents, who will have years of experience in student properties. Private properties will often have shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and may include private garden spaces.
