WELCOME TO MITHRAS HALLS
Hello and welcome to Mithras Halls of Residence!
Mithras Halls is located just in front of Mithras House on Lewes Road, Brighton and we are one element in the university’s Brighton Big Build Project. This new construction first welcomed students in Sept 2021.
The accommodation is made up of 5 towers: Brunswick Hall, Goldstone Hall, Hanover Hall, Preston Hall and Regency Hall, ranging from 9 storeys to 18 storeys. The towers generally comprise of 2 x 8 bed flats per floor.
We are centrally located in the city for bus and rail connections and a short walk to the seafront.
We want your stay to be a safe and enjoyable one, so please don not hesitate to speak to our friendly and knowledgeable team with any queries you may have.
With best wishes for a happy and successful year in accommodation and with your studies.

The Location
At the heart of the University of Brighton's largest campus, Mithras Halls is just moments from the countryside and a short distance to the beach. You are also a short walk from the train station, Aldi, Costa and more.
The Laundry
The onsite laundry makes those very necessary jobs just that little bit easier. You can view the laundry in the above 360.
The Reception
The hub for all your support, pop-in here to ask questions and report maintenance requests. You can also do that here.
Our Residential Life team at Mithras are here to support you during your time with us, and to create a friendly positive and inclusive environment for you to live in. We know that it may be easier to talk to a fellow student than a member of staff, so each flat is assigned an upper-year Student Residential Advisor (SRA), who will live and work in the accommodation and check in with you regularly throughout the year to say hello. Flat and individual meetings will take place virtually using Microsoft Teams.
The SRAs organise and deliver social events where there’s an opportunity for you to build genuine friendships and have fun. We hope that you will experience a real sense of belonging and that you will quickly feel at home.
You can contact an SRA about any concerns you might have, no matter how big or small. It could be a general question about university, or perhaps a flatmate dispute. You might be concerned about someone you live with, or maybe you are feeling homesick and just want someone to talk to. If an SRA is unable to help you, they will know someone who can.
A guide to residential life will be waiting in your room when you arrive.
