Thoroughly enjoy BU, Lansdowne Campus is where i’m usually based, which isn’t as packed out with facilities like Talbot but is still really good. The Business centre is a bit outdated and less nice to be in for lectures. But the Gateway building is extremely nice and a good place to study. I do wish there was more fun going on in lansdowne but overall i love it.

Student Review: 3.4 /5
By member7168922 On 4th December 25 verified Verified student

I had a great experience living at 17A Christchurch Road in Bournemouth. The location is absolutely perfect – close to town, transport links, shops, and everything a student needs within walking distance. The accommodation itself is clean, modern, and comfortable, making it a really nice place to live and study. The management have been excellent throughout my stay. They are professional, approachable, and always quick to respond to any queries or maintenance requests. Any issues I had were dealt with promptly and efficiently, which really made a difference and gave me peace of mind. Overall, I would highly recommend this student accommodation to anyone looking for a well-managed, convenient, and comfortable place to live in Bournemouth. A genuinely positive experience from start to finish!

They don’t really give help for careers and often keep lazy lecturers

I’ve really enjoyed the university these past three years. Being a part of the university gives me a higher sense of belonging, from the supportive teachers, clubs and societies and making new friends, there’s always something to be a part of and do, and I love that the university extends this through volunteering, so as a student you get a wider understanding and appreciation for the community you have joined by studying at BU.
