Activities

Brighton is (according to us) one of the best places in England to study. Brighton has so much to offer from a cultural scene to a vibrant night life.

Many people call Brighton “London by the sea” which also means London prices unfortunately. But not everything has to be costly. With over 20,000 students just at University of Brighton alone, the town is full of student activities and student discounts. And with some money sense you can make your money go a long way.

Many places will give students discounts for entry - cinema, museums, galleries - keep your NUS card on you and if in doubt - ask!
