Lift never works , a bit too expensive
Loads of mold in my bathroom and yet they ‘clean’ the flats before you arrive. The shower drain doesn’t work and regardless of how many times you complain in this building, nothing happens. For instance, circuit washing machine wasn’t working and when I asked for assistance, nothing happened. If not for my sister’s washing circuit card, I won’t have been able to do laundry. They didn’t even check up on that. Other students/ residents too had to sort themselves out with a circuit card. Fire alarms go off for no reason. There’s just too much bad stuff happening here. Thank the lord this is my final year. It’s like a Monet, fine on the outside but the up close… hmmmm…
Good place to stay and close to beach and town centre and clubs.
We are happy to hear that you liked our property and enjoyed the convenient location! - The Oxford Poinit Team

Oxford Point is an amazing place for students. As a masters student I have now lived at Oxford Point for 3 years and have loved every moment of it. The location is perfect for any student as you are super close to the town centre and the Lansdowne campus! The building has a great rooftop terrace so that you can spend time outside! The building also has a great vibe and atmosphere this is mainly due to the incredible staff who will go out of their way to help you with anything you need at all! The staff are super friendly and always make you feel at home. Overall I couldn’t recommend a better place to live and will miss this place so much when I leave! If I could give it a score out of 100 it would be 1000!
Thank you for your review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay here. - The Oxford Point Team

I have had a good time this year, I think it is a very good place to live. I also think it’s located in a special spot in Bournemouth close to the university campus.
Hi, Thank you kindly for the review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team
My experience in Oxford Point was a little different due to Covid restrictions across 2020-2021. Therefore I didn’t have a full social experience whilst living there. However, the rooms were really modern and functional and the kitchen/living spaces were large and great for relaxing with flatmates. The accommodation is in a perfect location, right amongst other AUB and BU accommodations, with a short walk into town and the beach.
Hi, Thank you kindly for the review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team
Laura, Rochinda & Patricia are the most wonderful team. They go above and beyond for their tenants within the Oxford Point building. Their phone manner is professional, attentive and considerate. Their faces always light up when visiting the reception office full of smiles of passion for their job roles. They try their absolute best to help with any queries or questions I have. Helping me find parking for my car etc. I find the Oxford Point team an absolute delight. Very happy tenant. All issues are resolved Promptly.

I’m going in to my third year living at Oxford Point. The team are amazing and there’s always a great atmosphere. I’ve met so many friends and there’s a really good sense of community. Most of my friends have rebooked and I would if I could! Always plenty of things going on and the rooms are light and airy. It’s been the perfect home for the last few years.
Hi, Thank you kindly for the review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team
The place is very modern and my room is nicer than the other accomodations but it's still a lot of money for just a nice looking room. My bathroom wasn't very clean when I moved in and there are rarely social events like I see in Skyline in Bournemouth. Also the social space is always empty and booking system is not clear.
Hi, Thank you kindly for the review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team

The building management and reception team are so lovely and they are always willing to help you out with any issues you may have. They go above and beyond for their residents, quite often you can pick up a free treat from reception such as energy drinks, chewing gum or toiletry samples. Every so often they arrange a free breakfast you can pick up from reception, with a choice of different drinks and all sorts of breakfast options you can take away. The staff go out of their way to be kind and friendly and they make an effort to try and remember you and your room number-oftentimes I have gone into reception to collect a package and one of the members of staff have given it to me before I can even mention why I am there. There are a variety of social activities arranged in the building such as; diy tie dye, pumpkin carving, and movie nights in the social spaces, and the occasional party on the terrace. Emails and instagram posts keep you up to date on all going’s on in the building.
Hi, Thank you kindly for the review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team

interesting but fun as well as all the parties you get a great range of people to meet and the space in the flats and rooms is more than enough
Hi, Thank you kindly for the great review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team
Very good accommodation. But if you find appropriately staffed buildings and hygiene as high importance then not the place for you
Hi, Thank you kindly for the review! We’re pleased to hear you had a positive experience staying with us. Many thanks, The Oxford Point Residents’ Team
My room was described as having a sea view, I can just about see the sea between some buildings if I squint my eyes. I’ve also been woken up by construction workers making very loud noises with drills, lifts, hammers etc. every morning since I arrived here in September, excluding weekends. During a flat inspection some peoples personal belongings were searched through whilst they weren’t there. Due to the location of my room in the building, my room was smaller than others that were paying the same price, even the bed was smaller and less floor space was available. Would personally recommend looking for rooms in other student accommodation near by.
Hi there, Thanks for your review. We would be interested to know what room it is that you have as all se view rooms face directly to the sea with a clear view. You can see the see from other rooms but the only ones marketed as having that view are the 'Sea View' en suites. We do understand that the building work on the building behind can be a little inconvenient however that particular building is also student accommodation so hopefully they do stick to normal working hours to accomodate their residents sleeping patterns. We can assure no personal belongings would be searched and room inspections are carried out in pairs so if you have more information on this we would appreciate. All en suites are exactly the same which is 13 sf and have a standard small double bed in all arears of the building. If there is anything you would like to speak to the team about please do come and see us in reception. Many thanks,
Really nice block, and great location. Got charged throughout lockdown even though I was not allowed to enter the building.
Hi, we're glad to hear you are happy with our location and building! If we can assist with anything please get in touch. Many thanks, the Oxford Point Residents' Team
Great accommodation in a handy location close to the beach and the bus stop for uni
Hi, thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoy being so close to the beach! the Oxford Point Residents' Team
Despite it being a social and spacious place to live for my first year of university, Oxford Point has let down a lot of students and lost my respect since COVID-19. Although the university campus was closed and we were advised to go home, Oxford Point has demanded the final rent instalment for a term where I will not be at university, and therefore not living in Bournemouth. The final instalment is over £1000, for a room I won’t be using. This is a huge let down.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear this, if we can assist please get in contact with the Residents' Team. Kind regards, the Oxford Point Residents' Team
Do not recommend. Oxford Point Management are acting insensitively to the difficult position students are faced with in light of this global Coronavirus pandemic. Both AUB and BU Campuses are closed, and students are advised by their unis to return home. All AUB halls residents are advised that they WILL NOT BE CHARGED their final rent installment this year, and many privately owned halls have followed suit, with rent reductions. The student maintenance loan that many receive is inadequate to cover the cost of Oxford Point Accommodation. It is insensitive and irresponsible for Oxford Point Management to expect students to pay in full the rent when they have no uni stay for, and have been advised to return. It is further irresponsible to neglect to review their Policies during these unprecedented circumstances. I recommend avoiding Oxford Point.
Hi, we're sorry to receive your review. Our Residents' Team are always available to provide support, please contact us if we can assist in anyway. The Oxford Point Residents' Team
The staff in these halls are mostly friendly. However, I suffered without heating in my room for a month during winter. To add on so far (3 April 2020) we have had little support with the current pandemic.
Hi, we're sorry to hear this. Maintenance issues can be reported via our Residents' Portal and our Maintenance Technicians aim to fix any issues as soon as they can. Our Residents' Teams are always available to provide support, please get in contact if we can assist with anything. the Oxford Point Residents' Team
Would never stay with Fresh Student Living again. Staying here has made me hate university - signing their tenancy agreement was the biggest mistake I've made. Staff have no understanding of fairness and have made my trust falter dramatically.
We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Our staff always do what they can with any given situation to be helpful to residents and ensure that they have the best experience possible here at Oxford Point. Please do reach out in future if there is anything that we can assist with. :) Kind regards, The Team at Oxford Point
The rooms are preety modern and easy to mannage. The beds are perfect for me. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Overall a very nice place to live in.
Hi, We're glad to hear you enjoyed living with us. Many thanks, the Oxford Point Residents' Team
Awful management, still get emails when I haven’t lived there for a year, unhelpful staff
We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. The only time that you would still recieve emails is if you had made a booking with us for this year!Our staff always do what they can with any given situation to help residents. If there is ever anything we can help with, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us! :)Kind regards,The Team at Oxford Point
