Why Students Love Living in Bognor Regis
When it comes to choosing student accommodation, location makes all the difference.
For many University of Chichester students, Bognor Regis offers the perfect balance of coastal calm, community feel, and convenience — making it one of the most enjoyable places to study and live in West Sussex.
Here’s why so many students love calling Bognor Regis home:
Coastal Living at Its Best
Imagine finishing a day of lectures and heading straight to the beach — in Bognor Regis, that’s an everyday reality.
The town’s beautiful seafront, relaxing atmosphere, and scenic walks along Marine Park Gardens make it a refreshing change from busier student towns. It’s the perfect place to unwind, clear your head, or enjoy time with friends outdoors.
2. Convenient and Student-Friendly Location
Bognor Regis is just a short distance from both campuses of the University of Chichester, with reliable bus links and cycle routes connecting students to everything they need.
Shops, restaurants, gyms, and supermarkets — including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, M&S, Aldi, and Lidl — are all within easy reach, making day-to-day living simple and affordable.
3. A Growing Student Community
While Bognor may be smaller than nearby cities, it has a tight-knit, welcoming student community.
From friendly local cafés and study spots to the university’s lively social calendar, students quickly find their rhythm here.
Whether you’re catching up with friends at Costa, grabbing lunch at Nando’s, or exploring local markets, there’s always something to enjoy.
4. Great Transport and Accessibility
Bognor Regis has excellent transport connections to Chichester, Portsmouth, and London, making it easy to travel for weekends, shopping trips, or visits home.
