One of the best things about the usacinengland studyabroadusac Brighton program is getting to study at the beautiful unibrighton. There are four campuses — three here in Brighton (Falmer, Moulsecoomb, and City) and one in Eastbourne (a town about 20 miles away). I live on the Falmer campus where Humanities students tend to study, and two of my three modules (classes) are held here. We're nestled into the hillside, so we are treated to lots of gorgeous views and sweeping winds no matter the time of day. 🛤 This campus actually reminds me a lot of UMBC with all of its steep walks and stairs... except instead of mischievous squirrels we have mischievous seagulls! 🕊 Living at Falmer is particularly awesome because the bus stop, the train station, the Brighton & Hove Albion Amex Stadium, and a wonderful farmer's market are all within walking distance of my dorm!
.
Every Tuesday (like today!) I travel into town for my Creative Curiosity module on the City campus 🏙 where the Art students are based. I don't spend nearly as much time here as I do on the Falmer campus, but I've definitely been enjoying the experience of studying in a more urban environment. The Grand Parade building in particular is filled with lots of amazing studios where student artists work and study, so walking through the hallways feels like visiting an art gallery! 🎨🤩 I also really appreciate that the City campus is a few short blocks away from the seaside and a lot of Brighton's biggest attractions — it makes it easy to go on adventures before and after I get out of class. 🌊🏖 :~)
.
The University of Brighton is a fantastic place to be an international student, and not just because of the scenery and architecture. Everyone I've met here — whether they're a student, a tutor (professor), or a staff member — has been caring and kind. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the University of Brighton community this semester... and yes, that includes the seagulls! 🥰 (Swipe to the end to see some typical seagull mischief!)
