Frequently asked questions
Brighton is an incredibly welcoming and diverse city. The university campuses in Brighton are safe places for students, and the city itself is relatively safe. However, with all cities it's always wise to be aware of the potential for crime. The good thing is that with Student Roost, you'll have teams on site 24/7, secure fob access, window limiters and CCTV in communal spaces. In the unlikely event of an incident, we also offer free contents insurance with Endsleigh for all of our residents.
Day-to-day living in Brighton is affordable. However, studies in 2021 stated that Brighton was the third most expensive city in the UK for students to rent in, with an average rent per month of £1,369. Living with Student Roost at Hillfort House allows you to live in Brighton for considerably less, so you can make the most of your time in the city.
Popular areas for students to live in include Falmer, Coldean and Moulsecoomb. Student Roost's Hillfort House is situated in Moulsecoomb, and both Falmer and the beach are accessible from here.
Much like other major cities, there are a number of student nights throughout the week. You can learn more about Brighton student nightlife in our Brighton city guide.

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?
Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.
It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
Yes, you can! When you rent one of our student rooms or studios in Brighton, all your bills are included in the rent. So there’s no need to worry about extra costs each month!
