Brighton Semester Abroad was Amazing

I was very nervous about heading out to do my semester abroad at the University of Brighton, however it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Brighton itself is an absolutely wonderful place it’s full of so much queer culture and will make all members of the LGBTQ+ community feel welcomed and accepted. If you’re queer and trying to find a place to study abroad where you will feel safe and have fun, go to Brighton. The town itself has super fun queer nightlife with Club Revenge being my favorite.

Beyond that element, the university of Brighton’s study abroad office was absolutely wonderful. The staff takes you on many wonderful trips that were so extremely fun and were excellent ways to get to know your fellow students. My program also had a shared British Culture class with all my fellow study abroad students. It was wonderful because we all got to know each other pretty well and all relied on each other as we were all going through the same experiences.

Really though, the best thing was the people I met. I have met truly some of my best friends that I have full confidence I will know for the rest of my life. The people are what made my program truly excellent. If you’re not sure if you want to study abroad at Brighton, I would say absolutely take the risk and do it, it will be one of the best experiences of your life.
