Please Note

Halls of Residences are managed independently by the accommodation companies and not MetFilm School. It is your responsibility to manage your accommodation whilst a student at the film school and all contracts signed, agreed and adhered to are between you and the student housing company.

This represents one option for your accommodation whilst you study with us but we would also advise that you investigate the private rental market which is buoyant in the local area and decide which is the best option for you.

Private Student Accommodation

Some of our students share privately rented houses throughout their time with MetFilm School Brighton to fully immerse themselves in the film school experience. Our friendly Admissions team will help you find the right housemates and advise you on trusted landlord and estate agents you can rent from.

Halls of residence can be expensive and this is a cost-effective way of living in the centre of Brighton, getting to know your fellow classmates and plunging into the world of studying filmmaking. We have partnered with two local estate agents who attend our Applicant Days and have access to our private new students Facebook group to support you every step of the way and give you exclusive access to their student properties:

Harringtons Lettings

Eightfold Property

Joint Lettings Agency are dedicated to ensuring that tenants have an exceptional living experience in newly renovated, interior designed shared houses and are focused on improving their wellbeing through a small, friendly & supportive team.

Tips for Viewing Brighton Properties

We recommend viewing a property at least twice. You’ll be more likely to notice problems the second time around
Take someone with you or let someone else know exactly where you are when you visit a property, just to err on the side of caution
It’s also a good idea to visit the area at night. If you do this, please ensure you stick to the point above and take someone with you
Make sure you and all your other housemates view the property. Don’t take someone else’s word that the property is right for you
Compare a range of different landlords and properties
Take your time and don’t let landlords pressure you – there is a surplus of good properties in the area and you will find somewhere you like
When you go to view, take notes and photos and use our checklist to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Get informed – knowing your rights will help you view properties more critically and put you in a stronger negotiating position

Where to live

MetFilm School Brighton is located at Unit 8, Film Studios, 2 The Hyde, Auckland Dr, Bevendean, Brighton and Hove, BN2 4JE, United Kingdom.

Hair and Makeup as well as Production students especially, would find living near Bevendean very beneficial.

Brighton is a relatively small city and there is an abundance of student accommodation within a fairly short distance of the film school. We expect students to live within a reasonable distance: please take into consideration the cost of travelling and the time it takes to get to the film school sites from where you choose to live.
