  • There are three campuses, namely the Talbot Campus, Arts and the Lansdowne campus.
  • It had a library, gym, coffee shops, bank and a trendy cafeteria catering a different menu every day. The campus also had a clinic where students are eligible for free treatment once registered under a general practitioner.
  • There was the one world festival organized along with other festivals like christmas where the campus would organise activities like ice-skating, christmas dinners and many other fun activities for students.
  • There are various societies and clubs based on the interests of the students and they often provide updates about their upcoming events and timings.

  • The university had their accommodation where PG students had a choice to choose either sharing or a studio flat. I chose to live in a studio, as it had all the amenities like a kitchen, bedroom and more space, which was required for me during my course. I had booked it through their website, where I had diverse options to choose from based on my liking and made the necessary payment for it.
  • My rent was 5000 GBP which was to be paid in instalments.
  • The challenges faced were the availability, as there were not many options and getting the right one was important.
  • It wasn't that far, as there was transportation provided by the university and was able to reach the campus on time. Most Indians often prefer staying in groups through low-cost accommodation, as it may be a cheaper option through various real estate and rental websites, but I preferred campus accommodation due to safety concerns.

  • There are 2 main campuses: Talbot campus (Poole) and Lansdowne campus (Town centre)
  • Talbot campus has the Students' Union, Sports BU Gym, Fitness studios, Sports hall, Art exhibition display, Cafe, Libraries, Talbot medical, Kitchen and Bar, Career centre. This campus has a Faculty of Media and Communication, Science and Technology, and Undergraduate programs while the Lansdowne campus holds the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences, Business School postgraduate programs and the Westin library.
  • There's many clubs and festivals but some that I've been to are the Diwali event by the Indian society club at University's Pub—Old Fire Station—and other club events by the kpop society and the animation society.
  • Our Faculty also holds the yearly BFX festival for the VFX and Animation students where a bunch of masterclasses and workshops are held.

  • In my first year I used uni accommodation and booked through my university. In my second year, I moved into a rented house with a bunch of friends and we found this through LettingsBU, another website from the University that helps students find houses to rent outside of uni accommodation. In third year we moved back into a different uni accommodation.
  • We were paying £140 per week at the University accommodation which included all bills. While renting in my 2nd year, I paid £90 per week, but the bills had to be paid by us, and the rates were very unstable.
  • I'd recommend uni accommodation, as it is a very smooth process and not much hassle, especially for international students who are new to the city. Then you can consider rented houses and preferably ones that include bills as well.
  • Both uni accommodations were a bus ride away, while the rented house was a 15-min walk.

Regarding Accommodation, there are many options near the university. There are some shared and studio apartments. The cost for shared accommodation is approx 300 to 350GPB per month The cost for studio apartments is approx 350 to 450 GBP

I choose Bournemouth University because of the infrastructure and other facilities provided by them. Another reason is modules are very different compared to other universities and also professors are very friendly.
