A recent study carried out at the University of Brighton finds that students in Brighton and Hove tend to be
as part of their local communities instead of just in the students' dormitories.
Drs. Smith and Holt, who made the study, found that only limited number of students live together in large
groups in Brighton arid Hove. In fact, the city provides a valuable case study for other university towns in that,
unlike cities such as Nottingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Birmingham, there is no evidence of a "student ghetto" for
the students who are relatively poor.
The study finds three main factors influencing the Brighton and Hove situation:
The active role of the University's Accommodation Office and its creative use have resulted in students being
relatively dispersed (分散) throughout the city, and there is limited evidence of private house company guiding
students to particular areas.
Most Brighton and Hove students do not feel the need to live in a specific student area to get a student
identity. They feel "at home" together with other social groups and do not restrict their shopping or social lives
to student-oriented services and facilities. According to the study, the city's cultural diversity is a major influence
here and it provides a valuable example for students mixing easily in the local community.
Students consider a wide range of possible living locations throughout the city. Their choices are, however,
to some extent limited by negative views of some areas within Brighton and Hove. The study suggests that more
effective student-community relations could help to change these negative views, with the result that new living
areas for the city's increasing student population could and should be opened up. Such a development would
reduce the possibility of any "student ghetto" forming in the city in the future.
The study also included a survey of what 350 Brighton and Hove students thought about their
accommodation. This has proved high levels of satisfaction, both in terms of quality and location.
