Hi, what halls of residence are you staying in here as I’m going Brighton uni in September but I can’t find this one anywhere. It looks much nicer than the ones I have seen, dying to find out as I need to book my accommodation soon. 😃

[@KathyChung]

hiya this is Kaplan Living Brighton :))) xx

[@hollyreeve4446]

how did this work with payments and stuff. Did it come out of a loan or was it all paid in advance. hoping to use this accommodation when I start in September and just wanted to know a bit more info x

[@KathyChung]

hey so u pay for this accom in three instalments (for this year it was late september, mid january and in april) and these are scheduled a couple days after student finance is paid to u so u have the money to pay for it and the payments come out automatically from the bank account u used to pay the deposit (which is usually a week or two rent) but u can change the account that the money comes out of, hope this helps it u have any more questions just let me know :)) x

[@anuskabiswas9755]

hey! Would you say Brighton uni is diverse? I’m planning on applying there for 22 as an international student.

[@KathyChung]

hiya that’s so exciting and yes i would definitely say brighton uni is very diverse, i honestly met so many different people from all over the world and with different interests :))

[@yelena5077]

me too T-T

[@elliethomas4263]

i know this is very late! my media teacher grew up in brighton and moved to winchester for uni and found it was so different because brighton is so diverse!

[@ellsb6377]

i have just moved into brighton kaplan halls!! so excited :))

[@KathyChung]

thats so exciting!

[@Querenciatv]

That's pretty! I like your facility. 😮

[@KathyChung]

[@najiejarkas2694]

Hi ! Lovely video. I was wondering, when you first got your accommodation, what was included (like the desk, the miroir, shelves etc..) ? Thanks xx

[@KathyChung]

hey so the desk, the mirror on the wall, the chair, bed mattress, the shelves, wardrobe xx

[@najiejarkas2694]

@@KathyChung thank you for you answer ! As Kaplan is a little expensive for me now, do you know if it is the same for all Brightons accommodation (like farmfield, Moulsecoomb) ?

[@KathyChung]

@@najiejarkas2694 wdym by all the same? x

[@najiejarkas2694]

@@KathyChung oh sorry, I meant is the halls residents furnished like that ? xx

[@KathyChung]

@@najiejarkas2694 ohhh yeh i think so, if you go on the uob website and do the virtual tours of each accom i think is shows u what comes with it xx

[@alicehart7209]

Is this different to student halls? as it’s not on the uni accommodation on the website? xx

[@KathyChung]

hey so when i first started this was an option on the brighton uni halls but i have noticed that for this upcoming year it’s not being offered, it’s probably as they now have their new mouslecoomb accom ready x

[@charlottekewin4191]

do you have a link to the ikea mirror on your desk & it’s white stand please? xx

[@KathyChung]

hiya here’s the link for it: www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/roverud-table-mirror-white-40483124/ xx

[@roxanne3474]

Hello! Do you know maybe how long is this desk? The size looks just perfect and I'm very curious and, if you don't mind, could you maybe give the link to those pretty lists titled "Today I need to do.. "? 😅 Anyway, I love your room, it looks very cosy 🥰 Greetings! 💋

[@KathyChung]

hiya i have no clue what the measurements of the desk are but i can ensure you that there’s a lot of space to fit everything that you’ll need/want on ur desk! and the to do lists I got from tkmax so there’s not a link for them unfortunately but when shops open again i defo recommend tkmax for that kind of things :)) thanks so much for watching and it defo was cosy!! xx

[@roxanne3474]

@@KathyChung Okay then yes I need to check in tkmaxx next time 😊 and about the desk I thought maybe you could approximately measure it but I don't want to bother you more 😅 thanks for your response! 🥰

[@KathyChung]

@@roxanne3474 no yeh i would have but i’m no longer there so I can’t but i would if i was, sorry i should have said that to begin with x

Hi, I’m a student joining in a month. Do you have any suggestions about what to bring?

[@KathyChung]

hey i would say don’t overpack! bring the essentials plus some extra things that will help you feel at home! as you can always bring more stuff over to your accommodation throughout the year! x

[@IfeoluwaOgunleye-g5w]

Hi Kathy, how do i get a studio apartment close to Sussex?

[@KathyChung]

hey there are quite a few studio accommodations close to both the unis, i definitely know for sure some private student accommodations that do studios that are very close by and just a short bus ride away

[@febaavinash8745]

[@tdannemaria]

hii im considering putting brighton uni down as one of my options. is it good/would you recommend it?

[@KathyChung]

hi yeh for my course I really like it and enjoy it plus I do think that UOB provide a lot of opportunities to benefit ur career in the future such as placements, i would definitely recommend looking into the course that u would want to do and see if it sounds like a bit of u, the uni have a great social aspect to with all the different societies u can join as well! x

[@ginaikem9509]

Advice about parking at uni? I wanna bring a car but can’t find info about price and how easy it is. Thanks

[@KathyChung]

hey so to park at uni (the different campuses not uni accom) u would need a permit which u can apply for on the uni website and i think it will tell u the price during the application but for the uni accommodation that they provide it’s very rare that they have parking spaces for u to park ur car but there is i think a few spaces at varley park accom as i know a few people that brought there cars but would have to talk to them to find out more, personally i found it quite hard to sort out bringing my car to uni so i didn’t in the end but if u have any more questions feel free to ask xx

[@benreynoldsorignal]

The Moulsecoomb halls place area is disgusting, really rough area with disgraceful people! Thank god I moved!

[@KathyChung]

this one was a newly built one in the area they are doing up so i’m assuming it’s better than whatever was there before!

[@abigailkeyla2585]

Hi! Do you mind if I ask of your experience in Kaplan Living and if you would recommend staying here? I'm an international student and I am considering this place to stay, so it would be very helpful! xx

[@KathyChung]

hey so i had a good experience while i was there but i was there during covid so there were rules like no mixing with other flats no guests allowed etc but when isolating the staff were helpful in making sure our weekly food shop got to us etc
