I love this university, lecturers are interesting and exciting, all passionate about their subjects. Facilities are top notch, as I do media production, I'm especially proud of the amazing equipment the Media school has to offer and it's the best in the country!

They hate the automobile and if you're a health and social student expect to have the worst facilities as the liberal arts and the media students reap the restaurant's, Coffee shops, banks, small shops, pizzaria's and a multi-storey library. Whilst you sit in Bournemouth house waiting for a gone off sandwich and a small over crowded library where the wait for a table to set up your laptop and books is fraught with danger like a knife fight in a maximum security prison. Justice.

Health and social care campus is away from the main campus so you don't get to know people from other courses easily. Difficult to join clubs and societies due to not being on the main campus. Academic staff are not very supportive. Facilities on main campus are pretty good.

Coming from Wales I couldn't be happier with my choice of university. The staff are really supportive and accommodating and the facilities are great. I'm a cheerleader which enhances your social life so so much so I would definitely recommend signing up to a club/society. My course is really tailored to creating the best possible chance of Job opportunity as they encourage all students to do placement year. Gorgeous place to live with its stunning beaches, great night life and a great uni and course. Perfect choice.

A very good University, one of the best locations to study and a really friendly learning environment. New student centre has just been built which is really beneficial in terms of space for students so we don't rely on the library. Lots of food options and seating areas for all sorts of groups of friends to work chat or relax. Everyone is willing to help you with any query you have and maps and apps have been created for timetables, room and lecture theatre locations as well as where Dylan's Bar is! Lots of social events including every society you could think of, followed by things like karaoke, D&D and comic book club! There's literally everything you could want and need in this Uni.
