Brighton student accommodation from Moulsecoomb to the seafront
Brighton has two universities, Brighton and Sussex, and many students live along the Lewes Road corridor between the city centre and Falmer. Every property on our Brighton pages includes bills, and rooms start at around £170 a week.
Which University of Brighton campus will you live near?
Brighton uni accommodation is the city's biggest search after student accommodation itself. The University of Brighton teaches across Moulsecoomb, the City campus and Falmer, so your school decides your street. Here is each campus and the rooms around it.
Which campus is the biggest?
Moulsecoomb. The University of Brighton calls it its largest campus, home to business, law, engineering, computing and applied sciences. Our University of Brighton page lists private properties near each site, so start with the campus on your timetable.
Living in Moulsecoomb itself
Moulsecoomb puts you next door to lectures, with Moulsecoomb station four minutes from Brighton by train. Buses along Lewes Road run into town all day. Our Moulsecoomb page lists the private student properties close to campus.
Which buses reach Moulsecoomb?
The 24, 25, 28 and 49 run from central Brighton, the university says, and cycle lanes line Lewes Road the whole way. If you live near the station instead, up to four trains an hour make the trip.
Falmer for sport and education
The University of Brighton's Falmer campus, on the edge of the South Downs, hosts its School of Education, Sport and Health Sciences. It sits beside the University of Sussex, so rooms near Falmer station suit both.
Art students on Grand Parade
The City campus sits on Grand Parade, near the Royal Pavilion, and teaches fine art, fashion, textiles, photography and visual communication. Brighton station is about ten minutes on foot, so rooms in the centre or Kemptown work well.
Where can City campus students live?
Close by, in the North Laine and Kemptown streets around it. Promenade Student Living on Providence Place quotes a nine minute walk to the City campus on its property page, with studios and bills included. Hanover sits a short walk uphill.
How do Sussex students live off campus?
The University of Sussex sits at Falmer, outside the city on the A27, so many of its students rent in Brighton and commute. We cover the campus, trains, buses, Falmer itself and what Sussex says about private rent.
Where is the University of Sussex?
At Falmer, on the A27 between Brighton and Lewes, at the edge of the South Downs. Falmer station sits directly opposite, through a subway under the road. Our University of Sussex page lists private properties for its students.
How long is the train to Falmer?
About nine minutes. Sussex says four trains an hour run from Brighton by day, against roughly 20 minutes by bus. A room near Brighton or London Road station makes the commute quick, even from the city centre.
Bus routes to the Sussex campus
Routes 23, 25, 25X, 28, 29 and 3X serve the Sussex campus. The 25 and 28 also stop at Moulsecoomb on Lewes Road, so one bus pass covers both universities and most student streets in between.
Living in Falmer itself
Falmer is small, so few private properties sit there. Alumno Falmer, by Falmer station, is one example with shared flats, studios and bills included. Its page quotes an eight minute walk to the University of Sussex.
What does Sussex say about rent?
Sussex notes that private rent in Brighton usually covers energy, water and internet in managed properties, and most contracts run 50 or 51 weeks, with some at 44. Check the end date against your final exams.
Between Moulsecoomb and Falmer
A University of Brighton student blog describes choosing a room between Moulsecoomb and Falmer, with a bus into town. iQ Sawmills on Newmarket Road, just off Lewes Road, is one property in this stretch, with en-suites and studios.
Which Brighton neighbourhoods do students rent in?
Student lets Brighton and student homes Brighton searches point to the same few neighbourhoods. Most sit on or near Lewes Road, between the centre and both universities. Here are the main ones, with what students on forums say.
Lewes Road, the student spine
Lewes Road, the A270, runs from the Level out to Moulsecoomb and Falmer, with cycle lanes and frequent buses. Shared houses, shops and student properties line it, so many students end up on or near it.
Why do students pick Hollingdean?
It sits just off Lewes Road, within walking distance of Moulsecoomb and a bus ride from town. Our Hollingdean page lists more properties than any other Brighton area, so it is the easiest place to compare options.
What is Hanover like for students?
Steep, colourful and full of pubs. Hanover's terraced streets climb the hill east of the Level, close to the City campus and Lewes Road. Our Hanover page lists the managed student properties nearby. Expect a climb home.
London Road near the centre
London Road runs north from the city centre, with its own station on the line to Moulsecoomb and Falmer. Pavilion Point is one property here, with en-suites and studios a short walk from the shops and North Laine.
Is Hove cheaper for students?
Sometimes. Students on forums suggest Hove and Falmer as cheaper bases than the Lewes Road streets, though bus fares add up. Hove is quieter and further from both universities, so check the full trip before you sign.
Kemptown by the sea
Kemptown, east of the Palace Pier, mixes seafront terraces with shops and bars along St James's Street. It is a walk from the City campus but a longer trip to Moulsecoomb and Falmer, so it suits art students most.
What does a Brighton student room cost?
Brighton is one of the dearer student cities in the south, and searches for student apartments and homes are common too. Here is what rooms cost, how bills work, what Sussex estimates, and options for groups and sea views.
How much does student accommodation cost in Brighton?
Rooms on our Brighton pages start at around £170 a week, en-suites at around £200 and studios at around £230, all with bills. The largest studios pass £400, so your room type moves the price more than your street.
Is Brighton expensive for students?
Yes, by UK standards. The University of Sussex publishes a living cost guide that puts total weekly spending for a private renter well above rent alone. Use its latest numbers as your baseline and build your own budget around them.
Is a house share cheaper?
On rent, often yes, but bills come on top. Sussex lists energy, water and broadband as an extra weekly cost for shared houses. Every property on our Brighton pages folds those in, so price both over a year.
Bills included, extras vary
Bills come with every Brighton property we list, so extras set them apart. Hillfort House on Moulsecoomb Way is one example, offering en-suites and studios near the University of Brighton's biggest campus. Ask what the fair usage cap allows.
Two bed apartments for friends
Student apartments Brighton is a steady search, and a few properties offer them. iQ Brighton on The Furlong has offered two bed apartments with a shared kitchen, living area and shower room. Ask if you sign one contract or two.
Studios with a sea view
A few central properties put studios within sight of the sea. Crown House on Upper North Street, less than a mile from Brighton station, has offered sea view studios. Expect to pay more for the view and higher floors.
