...finished my first year of Brighton Uni and thought I would give you all a upto date review of the University and its Halls... I came to Brighton because I loved the place, I came for a weekend away with my mates about a year before deciding to go to Uni and I absolutely loved it, I couldn't see myself being anywhere else and from that moment on I decided I would go to Brighton regardless of what the Uni was like (that's love for you). Why did I like ...
...anything like the South, and Brighton truely is the creme de la creme. I visited the Uni open day and really was not impressed with the presentation I saw, I couldn't help but compare it to one I had seen a couple of weeks earlier for the same course, different Uni. I accepted my place to Brighton anyway and was thoroughly excited to be moving there after summer! This is when I found out what halls I would be living in. I'm pretty fussy, I wanted ...

Advantages: seaside
Disadvantages: wind

...about what I think of Brighton and what my experiences were there. 1.) Transport In general getting from London to Brighton is easy. Why? Because there are frequent trains going there and back several times a day. I have spent around 40 pounds altogether for the train tickets. The train station closes at around two am and than opens at a quarter to five am. If you plan to use the buses more frequently, than I recommend you to get a universal ticket ...
...middle of Brighton. - Brighton pier I have spent quite some time on the pier. There is a large funfair, lots of restaurants and lots of arcade halls - there is some serious gaming going on, it's like you are in a different world ( very addictive, I lost more than won). There is also the West pier but I haven't been on it. - the seaside Who doesn't like the seaside? It is beautiful and there is numerous of sites from where you can just watch the ... Read review

Advantages: attractions
Disadvantages: pebble beaches

I recently went to Brighton to visit a very dear school friend of mine. Whilst I was there I went for walks and got some wonderful pictures which I have yet to download onto my computer. I stayed with my friend and her family and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am thinking of moving there as I find where I live very boring with no nightlife. I met someone whilst I was there but I will write about that another time. I was made very welcome whilst ... Read review

Advantages: Good rail link's,Nightlife,Shopping
Disadvantages: Junkies,Traffic chaos,big brother,expensive pubs

...presents from the part of Brighton called the lanes.I must say the pubs are ok if you have a wheel barrow of cash,but i would not move here unless i was earning about £400+ a Week because of High rentals.If you are looking to move to Brighton & have a tight budget then forget it,you will need about £800 just to get you a veiwing in a 1 Bedroom flat,maybee £600 for a Studio/bedsit & a pile's of refs.There is plenty of work thow,so this no excuse not ...
...its a good place to visit,but One or Two of you will not want to miss the last Train home.Oh by the way,it's said that Mi5 have a microwave beam blasting people in the lanes area to subjue them,you can enter that in a UK search engine & you will see what i mean!!!! ... Read review

Advantages: Nice atmosphere, lots of culture, intimate, friendly people
Disadvantages: Expensive, parking is a nightmare, less diverse than bigger cities

In short Brighton has a nice atmosphere and a good night life. If your interested in less commercial club nights than the range of music offered is a little dissapointing - there is much more diversity in places such as Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, and of course London. However, if you keep away from West Street then you can miss the rather predictable pub chains and clubs (and the aggressive drunkeness that comes with it) that are the centre ...
...Another thing is that Brighton sports a nice range of pound shops that extend all the way from one end of Western road along to London road, which is very importnat if you came here to live as a student, and were completely unaware of sheer expense of living this 'trendy' city. The car boot sale at Brighton Train Station is quite good as well, and is every Sunday morning. The Palace Pier is horrifically over priced, and the West Pier is just a crumbling ... Read review
