Living in Worthing

Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea are seaside towns just along the coast from Brighton.

Worthing is the largest town in Sussex and both locations have a range of shops and pubs next to the seafront. The hills of the South Downs and the Sussex countryside are within easy reach and trains run through both towns and on to Brighton and London.

Worthing is just a 25-minute train journey away from the vibrant city of Brighton. This creative seaside community is home to music venues, museums, galleries and pop-up venues, including the East Beach artist studios, where local creatives exhibit their work. The seafront tells a story with its eclectic blend of history and the contemporary. Victorian architecture houses cosy eateries, traditional English pubs, and contemporary microbreweries.

Shoreham-by-Sea (home to our Shoreham Airport Campus) has a real community atmosphere with bars, restaurants and the Ropetackle Arts Centre for live music, comedy and film screenings. If you want to get active outdoors, cycle the South Downs Link or try out paddleboarding on the River Adur. The town is just a short 15-minute train journey into Brighton and a 10-minute train journey from Worthing.

Accommodation in Worthing

We have a list of self-catering student house shares, located in and around Worthing town centre. The houses are owned and managed by private landlords who have signed our Student Accommodation Code. Most of the houses can accommodate groups of four to six students.

Living in Brighton

Each year Brighton plays host to a myriad of events, including the largest open-access arts festival in England: Brighton Fringe.

The city is home to a plethora of boutiques, entertainment venues and galleries, with a seemingly endless supply of restaurants, pubs and clubs to enjoy.

Brighton is well-known for its established music scene, independent record stores and the annual Great Escape Festival for emerging artists. When you need to reset from the excitement of the city, the natural beauty of the Sussex countryside is only a stone’s throw away.

Accommodation in Brighton

Brighton is home to two universities and has a large number of private-sector student houses. There are also private halls of residence which are available to students from any university. In addition, there are many websites which advertise spare rooms in shared houses and flats.
