Bournemouth University - [Bournemouth Uni], Poole, England - Scholarship

• I did receive a scholarship. It was academic. For anyone who scored above 70% in their undergraduate degree. Was eligible for that scholarship. I got a scholarship of £3750. Everyone from our year got this automatically if they scored and proved they have 70 or 70 above in their undergraduate degree. 
• One of my batchmate was on Chevening Scholarship. She was from Kenya. And other students also got different scholarships like sports or music depending on the scholarships and their fields. 

• It was associated with uni but it was off campus. They had a tie-up. It was through university we got to know. One of their accommodations is in university campus but I opted for the one in town.
• Around us there were all accommodations all students living. It was 10-15 mins away by bus from uni. I would recommend Bailey point if they are coming to Bournemouth or even Chesil House is a decent accommodation but if they want more modern for post graduate its Bailey Point. Or undergraduate it’s Belaton House. Yugo accomodations are pretty aesthetic with good common areas. Campus Living Villages is okay decent. 

• I didn’t get any scholarship. Usually, you need to score above 7 bands in IELTS or 75 % in your bachelor's degree to get a scholarship. The scholarship amount was 3500£.
• In my batch, there were a few students who received this amount. I don't have a rough figure, but it depends on your marks. There is no limit for this scholarship; for example, even if 1000 students scored 75%, they will be eligible for scholarships.

• My brother's friend helped me to find accommodation. As he was studying at the same university, he came here one year before me.
• I was paying 600£ monly with all bills included. I have a private washroom. With share kitchen
• As my brother friend helped me, I have not encountered any difficulties.
• You use Facebook Marketplace or zoopla and Amberstudent online applications for searching accommodation. It was 4 miles from my university campus.

• I found my accommodation by university websites. I stayed in university accommodation off campus but near the campus for ease of travel to devote maximum study hours in the university.
• My accommodation included a separate room with a shared kitchen. The flatmates were friendly and supportive, expanding our multicultural connections and friendships.

• Online platforms can be used, such as: university website (accommodation), Unidays, right to move, Spareroom. On-campus/university accommodation for a shared house the monthly rent was £530 with facilities like 1 kitchen with all the appliances kettle, dinning, fridge and freezers, oven, microwave etc., 2-3 bathrooms, 1 living room/lounge., heater, water and electricity; outside campus the accommodations costs £550 r.p.m (min) with all the mentioned facilities.

• Yes i was able to get a scholarship for the couse of 2000 pounds. The scholarship was provided for special student cases where work experience prior helped with it.
• Another Batchmate of mine was also able to access this scholarship. Im unsure of the number but i think within th 30 student batch, around 5 - 10 students recieved the scholarship during my study time.

• Accomodation was around 4- 5 Kilometers away from the University.
• A lot of times i like to walk back to my accomodation after my University timings ended
• I managed to get the university accomodation when i was there
• No challege, just an EMAIL message and a visit to the venue.
• Student accomodation is expensive but secure and safe for everyone.

• There was scholarships but I didn't avail myself of them, as I wanted to take up an internship after the course and my course was not eligible for scholarships.
• A friend of mine had availed a scholarship during her time in the university. There were three scholarships depending on the academic performance of the region-specific student, and the amount was up to 4500 GBP which was eligible if the student was outside the UK.

• 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.

• I was staying outside of the campus and was paying 200 Pounds per month in shared rental accommodation with 4 other people staying with me in the house.

• Yes, I received a scholarship in the first year of my course. It was the Academic Excellence scholarship which requires the student to have scored certain score in their 12th results.
• The award amount for the scholarship was £1500 which was deducted from the fees in the first year.
• UK and some european students recieved student loans from the University i believe. And some students also get sports/ music related scholarships (based on the course as well)
• Acadmic Excellence scholarship must be accessible to everyone who reaches the eligibility criteria, i don't think there were any limitations on how many scholarships are given each year.

• 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.

No, I did not receive any scholarship.

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.
