There are multiple modes of transportation options that students can avail of while studying at the University of Brighton. The location is surrounded by West Sussex country on the west and East Sussex country on the east side.

Here are the main modes of transportation available for the students of Sussex-

Buses: Brighton’s roads are spacious, and local bus services cover almost all corners of the city. Travelling by bus is easy with sophisticated design to aid even disabled people. Students can travel within the city and its outskirts with discounted bus fare (just by presenting a valid student ID).

There are regular bus services connecting the campus to Brighton's city centre,with routes like 25 and 23 being popular among students. Night buses (e.g., N25) are also available for late-night travel. Affordable options like National Express and Megabus are great for long-distance travel.

Trains: Falmer Station, located near the campus, provides quick access to Brighton and Lewes, with trains running every 10-20 minutes during weekdays. Travelling to Gatwick International Airport takes only 30 minutes by train. Also, students can use a 16-25 Railcard for discounted fares. Brighton Station connects to major cities like London, which is just an hour away by train.

Cycling: Many students cycle to and from campus. It is a mode of transportation that does not harm nature, a good cardio friend, and an exploration partner. Brighton also has a bike-sharing scheme, BTN BikeShare, for convenient short trips.

Walking: As the city of Brighton is compact, students and residents living there can easily travel short distances on foot. The sidewalks/pavement are wide and spacious, and it saves time, especially around the city centre and beachfront.

Taxis and Rideshares: The city also consists of services like local taxis, and apps such as Uber are available for more flexible travel. Students tend to share their rides when travelling at a distance; this gives them privacy while travelling and saves both money and time.

University halls of residence:

The Brighton and Eastbourne area consists of nearly 2,000 available beds for as little as £170 per week for self-catering single rooms.

University on-campus accommodation includes guaranteed space for international students. The service also includes coverage of up to £5,000 contents insurance, unlimited utility bills (gas, electricity, water, broadband), cleaning of communal areas, 24/7 security and support, and residential wellbeing team support.

Off-Campus Accommodation:

Additionally, there is independent housing and 400 rooms managed by the university in the private sector. Students can locate private rental housing and potential roommates on "Find-a-home" days.

Renting in the private sector around Brighton and Hove typically costs between £165 and £249 per week, depending on the type of housing and location.

International students are required to show guarantor proof or pay a major part of the accommodation fees in advance. This kind of accommodation has all the bills included.

Private Housing:

Private rentals in Brighton and the surrounding areas vary widely, but the average weekly rent falls within the same range as off-campus housing: £165 to £249 per week.

Students can obtain advice and help from the university rental section or contact the housing service team or a university-authorised letting agency to look for the perfect houses and rooms.

Most rooms have bills included with the total fees, but some private housing requires students to set up their utility accounts and pay the bills themselves. The rent may be less, but overall, the hassle is higher.

Students can visit Preston Park, a popular natural landmark within the city for outdoor activities. The park hosts multiple concerts and fairs each year.
