BRIGHTON is one of the best cities for students in the UK, according to a recent study.
Global car hire agency EnjoyTravel.com ranked the city ninth in its list of the best student cities in the country.
The city was praised for its two world-class universities, its liberal attitude, and its unofficial title as the UK’s LGBTQ+ capital.
A spokesman for EnjoyTravel.com said: “The old city, hailed as England’s cultural centre, is an excellent choice for those who enjoy beaches, sand, and the sea.
“By train, Brighton is only an hour away from London. It is a popular destination for young people since it stages several high-profile events each year, including the Brighton Fringe festival, Brighton Pride, and the Brighton Festival.
“It also features one of the best music scenes in southern England.
“When you’re not studying, you can unwind with some great fish and chips and Brighton Palace Pier, or go cycling near the Brighton Marina.”
However, Brighton missed out on a podium finish in the list to Edinburgh, Manchester and Glasgow.
