Advantages: nice place

Disadvantages: accomodation

This is what happened to me, an applicant and now a current student at Brighton University. The story started a very long time ago when I was applying for my University choices. Brighton was my first choice and I kept with this descision all the way through the build up to exams and after too. I applied for my halls the day I got the letter and I thought that it's very likely I would get into halls. A while after my poor exam results I was offered to change my course to a different one at Brighton because my grades weren't too good. So I did this and it was getting nearer and nearer to the start of my first day at Brighton and I still hadn't heard from them about my halls. It was about 2 weeks before I started and I thought I would phone them only to find out that I wasn't in halls and they hadn't bothered to tell me!!! I then only had two weeks to find a place to live which is currently costing me a lot of money which I really can't spare. Even though I had applied for my accomodation a very long time ago I still think that it is unfair I lost my place because I changed my course. Brighton clearly hasn't got enough accomodation for all the people it accepts. The rule should be first come first served and there shouldn't be unfair list movings if the person is still going to the uni. All I'm saying is that be warned that Brighton wont ever contact you properly and they leave it up to you to tell them what they have forgotten to do. if ur applying here then make sure you phone the university if you havent heard from them in a while because they have probably forgotten to send you something!
