What do you want to study? and what sort of grades are you predicted? Brighton or Southampton could be options

Swansea University has a beach 5 minutes away from it's main campus.

This is a really stupid reason to pick any university, but I think law might be one where the stupidity is even more pronounced..

Having a beach really isn't a great way to pick a uni - you can live by a beach for the rest of your life, but now is the time when you get the foundation that allows you to live by the beach. Don't forget that you'll be missing most of the decent weather as you'll be at home for the summer anyway.

That said, Sussex would be one of your better options.

This.

Couldn't have written it more beautifully than this

Brighton !!!!!!

Bangor are quite close to the beach :s-smilie:

But Brighton is probably the best uni. You can't beat Brighton beach IMO.

Being predicted AAB I would suggest Exeter, it's kinda close-ish

I wouldn't pick Portsmouth The beach is really stoney also there are some really sketchy places in Porstsmouth.

If you pick Southampton you have picked a uni in a Nautical City with a proud an noble history and Southampton is great student town with loads of bars clubs restaurants some of the best fish and chips I've tasted in the UK and good shopping but the beach is two things 1) in Calshot so you need to drive there and 2)again really stoney. there is Victoria park but it's not really a beach just like a bar of sand. But at those two unis you can easily get to the isle of white which does have nice beaches but you'll have to pay to get there.

In all honesty the best beach I can think of in the UK is Bornmouth there are also some nice looking ones in Devon and Cornwall you have nice looking sand a beach front and surfing so I reckon you want that kind of beach for beach party's and stuff yeah. I should mention I don't know much about the uni there (I went to Solent and did some work experience at Southampton)

As other people have said it's not a good way to pick a uni (weather there is a beach nearby but I would also say you need to feel happy where you are (I left Porstmouth because wasn't happy) if you need a beach for that then so be it. whatever you do good luck and if you find somewhere without a beach that you love don't reject it just because they don't have a beach.
