-- study in england?

Dunno study in england?

Hey everyone,

I really want to go to England for a year abroad, and my choices are: London and UCL or University of Sussex and Brighton.
I would def. say London, but I've heard some nice things about Brighton. What do you guys think?

Thanks

Definately go to Brighton- you can easily visit London from there but you won't have to live in that polluted shit-hole. UCL is a good Uni but it's right in the centre so where would you be able to afford to live? Brighton is brilliant but Sussex Uni is a bit further out from the centre of Brighton (you'd have to get a bus into town).

London, London

UCL is one of the best Uni's in the country, what are you studying? London living costs aren't that high for students, as uni's will sort that out. And of course you're near some top quality clubs as well

to be fair lam, you live at home so how really would you know. Plus, uni doesn't pay, it has to come out of a loan, and if they do pay, yer its prolly about double the cost so you are still left skinted.

As for clubs, i reckon you'd get more per square mile in the way of bars and clubs in brighton. got mates that live there and they fekkin love it

i thought everyone paid 65-75 pounds a week rent, wherever they were? thats the case here

and on top of that you've got food and stuff as well, but if they're an overseas student, i would think they have the financial backing to live anywhere...

no fucking way!! 65 is extautionate (prolly wrong spelling)

average in sheff is between 40 and 50 and 50 is probably a bit expensive.

if u paid 65, you would be expecting dishwashers, en suite, huge rooms the size of a normal persons entire ground floor... conservatory and on and on

well, you don't get any of that here...so that confirms it...London's fucking expensive haha

my mate has got a fantastic deal tho, his girlfriends parents own an apartment in London Bridge about 5 mins away from uni, with 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, one ensuite bathroom, massive kitchen/living area, and he pays 90 quid a week, fully furnished etc!

my mate paid �113 a week in london to live in a shit-hole, i pay �48 here in birmingham and its nicer.

wow.. thanks guys for all the responses. All the nice things said about Brighton are really making me reconsider whether I should really go to London.

The issue of rent is not really an issue, since I'm on a shitload of financial aid at my school here, so as a result, they cover the cost of room and board when I go abroad. So I guess I'm looking for the city that would be the nicest.


Posted by dj_mdma on Feb-16-2004 23:43:

when you say nice city, what do you mean?

Brighton is really nice place, next to the coast, a few clubs and stuff, but its just not as interesting as London i suppose...

Clubwise, in London, you've got HEaven, Turnmills, Fabric, The End and a few others. For sightseeing you've got the Millenium Eye, the Tate Modern, and loads of other stuff, it just all depends on what you want to do

Imagine Camden but take away all the wierdos and scary people and set it beside the sea giving it a more chilled out feel- thats a bit like Brighton's North Laine area.
