Brighton
About the Course Town
A beach town on England’s South Coast with the hip urban buzz of a much larger city. Where rollerblading and beach volleyball meet great shopping, world-class culture and a rockin’ indie music scene. No wonder they call it London-by-the-Sea…
If you’re the independent type, and looking for just the right blend of laid-back beach resort, big-city culture, and fantastic multicultural vibe—this is your kind of town! Brighton’s year-round population is 250,000. But when the language students hit the scene in summer, the city nearly doubles in size, boasting a multicultural mix to rival any major metropolis. (Brighton is well used to catering to students, as it hosts two of Britain’s better universities.) The hip factor can get pretty intense, thanks to cutting-edge arts, fashion, theater and music scenes. In fact, loads of Londoners keep weekend apartments here.
