I just finished my undergraduate studies in Brighton while living in London for the last 1.5 years of the course.. I also had a job in Brighton, which was good as I ended up being in Brighton during "office hours" for days I had to split between work and lectures, bad for days when I just had to go to work..
It wasn't too bad, but certainly not ideal. Lots of stress getting there for early exams, hard to pop back to campus for random things after hours..
My commute was about 2:15 hr door to door each way, which is workable, but there's no way I'd do anything further!
The time is not a big deal, as it was easy to study on the trains, but the biggest problem is the high cost of rail travel - so painful.
I'm very much looking forward to my masters course which is about a 15-20min away by bike!
