Three south coast locations. Three different experiences.
You might already be familiar with Brighton, Eastbourne or Hastings, but as a student, you will make friends with people who are new to the area, try out different activities and experience your home in a new way.
If the area is new to you, here’s a quick guide to things to do and see...
Brighton life
There is always something interesting happening in Brighton. The city is bright, upbeat and unconventional but with a laidback, friendly atmosphere and sense of community.
In your time off, you could find yourself braving the cold sea with a kayak lesson or playing volleyball on the beach, emptying your pockets in the little shops of North Laine, and heading for an evening at the theatre or a night out clubbing with flatmates. There are pubs, clubs and restaurants to suit every taste and festivals of all shapes, from kites to food and drink, during the year. Find out more...
Eastbourne life
Eastbourne is a major university town and a fantastic place to be a student – the town is lively with a thriving arts and music scene, many new restaurants, clubs and bars and excellent shopping, and the student community is close-knit and friendly.
Shaking off its somewhat staid image, Eastbourne is now home to one of the bigger free extreme sports festivals in the UK – Eastbourne Extreme – as well as the challenging Beachy Head marathon and top-flight tennis action at Devonshire Park. Find out more...
Hastings life
Hastings combines significant history with natural beauty – even a casual walk through the beautiful nearby countryside can take in spectacular historic sites like the remains of Pevensey Castle and Battle Abbey together with the field on which King Harold fell.
Hastings' diverse music and arts scene means there is live music most nights and lots of plays. Events throughout the year range from the traditional May Day festival to the motorbike run. There are also plenty of sporting opportunities, whether you are interested in rugby, running or even the World Crazy Golf Championship. Find out more...
