FUN FACTS: 

- The University of Sussex is only 10 minutes from the heart of Brighton and less than an hour from central London by train. It is surrounded by the beautiful South Downs National Park, the newest national park in England.

- Brighton is on the "sunshine" coast of England and has everything: sun, sea, beach, cafes, juice bars and indie shops. Check out Brighton Festival (England's biggest Arts Festival), Brighton Fringe and the Great Escape Festival in May, or cycling from London to Brighton for a good cause!

- Head to Lewes on 5 November for the largest and most famous Guy Fawkes Night bonfire in the UK!
