Best: what makes Bournemouth such a great place to study is that not only is the University Campus and student union a great hub to work and grow as a student, but the location is incredible. Being close to the most beautiful UK beaches for head clearing walks and days out with friends really makes even the most challenging times at Uni that little bit easier. The Lecturers also play an amazing role in my university experience, they have all individually equipped and inspired me to perform in each unit. The last thing would be the student union at BU, it’s just great to have such a community orientated team and building for support.

The best part about my marketing and communications course at Bournemouth University would be the amount of contact hours with lecturers, providing great content and interactive ways that have enabled me to thrive in my academic life. No lecture is the same, and most of my lecturers create such a fun, learning environment with up-to-date, sources, industry examples, and sometimes even offer workshops with alumni, who are in industry to give us further insights into the working world. I would say. The worst aspect of my course would be my first year at university whereby the all of my lectures were online due to Covid restrictions. It wasn’t until I embarked on my second year, that I realised how much I’d missed in terms of making connections with students, and also feeling really present in my lectures.

I really liked living in Purbeck for my first year I loved that it was in town and close all the night life and only 10 minute walk from the beach. It was particularly the party hall where everyone would seem to go to, especially Block B! The facilities were okay and even though I absolutely hated the curtains, the student Hall had everything needed for the first year and I made some lifelong friends there. Purbeck certainly wasn’t the most bougie of the Bournemouth town halls is available, but it was good value for money. I would say, however, that the laundry situation was a slight nightmare as I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I could never get my card to work, hopefully if you decide to go to Bournemouth uni and stay in Purbeck, you’re a lot luckier than me when it comes to the laundry room.

I enjoy everything
