Home from home

If you're looking for a little taste of home when you're in Brighton you can check out HK Place in the city centre, for a nice place to visit with family and friends you could head to Seasons restaurant and bar on the seafront, and for some authentic dim sum and ingredients from home you should check out Asiana Grocery & Dim Sum in Hove.

There are also a number of societies you can get involved with where you can find like-minded people with similar interests which gives you the opportunity to be involved in society events to help you ease into student life and get familiar with the city. If you can't find a society that suits your interests then you can start your own society!
