Brighthelm

A few of my friends stayed in Brighthelm during their first year at Sussex, and I have attended a number of good parties held on this residency, which is perhaps surprising considering the number of post-​grads rumoured to live here. The accommodation itself is comprised of sixty five bed houses, complete with washing machines and tumble driers — a serious luxury for any University of Sussex student -, and a good kitchen and social area, though not as large as that in Lewes Court Phases One and Two. Housemates share bathrooms, but do have their own washbasins in their rooms, which, I have on good authority, those of a more lethargic disposition have been known to urinate in. Rent is £102 per week.
