Brighton or Manchester for a 19 year-old American to study abroad Spring 2012?

I’m a Psychology major with a double minor in Speech and Hearing Science (Language Pathology) and Dance. I currently live in Arizona and have never been to Europe, so quite frankly I’m more interested in the city than the school’s prestige. It’s between University of Sussex and University of Manchester.

I’m into history, art and music (folk, indie pop and rock). I’d love a location that makes it easy for me to travel to London, Wales, Ireland and France–specifically.

I’m concerned about the history part with both Brighton and Manchester. Are there any historical gems besides museums in either city? Also, what are the trade offs from living in either city?

I really appreciate any advice or input… it’s kinda hard just relying on the school’s websites!

Lastly, I’m a laid back girl who values good conversation and kicking back with buddies. But exciting nights out are a must ;)

To visit London, Brighton is only 51 minutes by train from London Victoria. In london you can connect to anywhere else in the country. To visit Paris you can get the Eurostar direct from St Pancras International. Welsh trains leave from London Paddington – you’re better off flying to Ireland.

Flight to Ireland depart from most London Airports but the nearest airport to Brighton is London Gatwick and Aer Lingus fly from there direct to Dublin.

If you’re looking for Historical gems – Brighton has a former Royal Palace – The Brighton Pavilion, it’s open to the public. Brighton and Hove is a far smaller City than Manchester and easier to get around, although if you’re at Sussex you may be able to live on Campus as it’s some way from Central Brighton.
