The building cleanliness is super good. The building has awesome amenities such as the common room, the gym, and the courtyards. the staff are amazing and they put on little events/ social gatherings that bring the students together. Like the bake off, the pancake day celebration, and the pumpkin carving. Overall this place is absolutely amazing and I am glad I chose this place over all the others.

Campus is expansive & spacious with good facilities. Clubs and societies are friendly and welcoming & student union is a very active and nice community. Career options and support is very well supported and encouraged. Only slight gripe is that wifi can be a bit unreliable at times but will get the job done most of the time.

I really can’t make a review on the social side of our uni but other than that Bournemouth uni has great facilities and workspaces my only complaint would be the weird and annoying timetable and schedules
