Living inside the gritty city isn't everyone's cuppa tea - some prefer a different pace. These two universities are both within museum-day-trip and club-night-out
distance of London, but give you a different sort of campus to come home to.
The University of Reading is only half an hour from London, but what a difference that makes! Reading is a friendly town with a thriving commercial core. Tech companies make it England's Silicon Valley. "The Hexagon," an entertainment center that hosts everything from classical orchestras to championship snooker tourneys, provides entertainment
galore. The campus is considered one of the most beautiful in England, with 320 landscaped acres surrounding Whiteknights Lake. Recreational activities are the norm here, and Reading
has a huge sports center, tennis courts, rowing on the Thames, and fields for rugby, football, cricket, and hockey. Reading has plenty of academic fields to choose from too.
Speaking of "interesting and different"... The University of Sussex sits in Brighton, the brash seaside resort where Londoners go for fun weekends "down the shore."
Just an hour from London by train, Brighton Pier and the miles of beachfront around it are the place to play in the sun. When the sun goes down, Brighton lights up as the
clubbing capital of the south coast and a natural habitat for fans of arthouse and cult cinema. Like Brighton, the student life at Sussex is both relaxed and intense, and
Brighton's bohemian atmosphere makes it a great place to work, play, learn, and totally be yourself.
