Homestay

Homestay is a university accommodation scheme where students live in the home of a local host in Brighton.

Homestay gives you the extra security of living with a host who is in partnership with the university. Students are placed in a host household by the university; this may be with a family, a couple or a single person. Students have the flexibility to choose between short or long stays, from a minimum of two weeks up to the entire duration of their studies.

Self-catered or catered options are available to choose from, depending on preference. In a catered Homestay, hosts provide students with breakfast and an evening meal every day.
