Home from home

If you're looking for a little taste of home when you're in Brighton, you can check out Ephesus restaurant on Preston Street, or try out the award winning Manju's restaurant, and if you're looking for something more laid back or for a light bite check out the Curry Leaf Cafe in the Lanes. 

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!
