Millions of visitors every year from all over the world are attracted to Brighton's colourful atmosphere. Highlights include its theatres and clubs, fashionable shops, hotels, cafes and restaurants, its famous antique markets and exotic Royal Pavilion, its huge marina, and of course its lively beach and sea front promenade and grand Victorian Piers.

Young International Language Students often congregate around the popular 'Churchill Square Shopping Centre' or the 'Pier' in the early evenings in the summer months. These are considered safe areas for students to meet, and are well served by the local bus company. BISS students must be back with their homestay families by 22.00.

Surrounded by beautiful English countryside and near to the famous Sussex Downs and white cliffs, Brighton is small enough to get to know easily and safely, and yet it is only 50 minutes by train from the centre of London. There is so much for everyone to enjoy and Brighton's friendly and relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect choice for students of any age.
