The place could improved with different lectures. A lot of the teaching team are from other countries and it is sometimes very hard to understand them whilst they teach. A good experience of the university is the location of it and campus itself were there is a lot of space to work or even integrate with other students.

Overall learning experience is not great

I have really enjoyed my experience so far at Bournemouth University. Considering this is my first university as an adult, I couldn’t be more satisfied and relieved to be at university that has opportunities for each of their students, as well as various resources that aid students to adjust in their courses, uni life and accommodation. I’ve come across very some helpful staff who all seem to be proud of the university which makes me proud to be at BU. My only issue is in regards to accommodation, apparently the university changed its rule that second year students cannot rent in halls anymore, however, this change was not communicated to many students. my classmates and I were the ones to chase this up to get clarification. As much as I love the SUBU building, it would be nice if big indoor events were done somewhere else within the university with plenty of space. Also food being served at these events should be served from steel pans with a lid, it was nice tasting food, but it’s not nice thinking about the amount of people who talked over the food. A better interactive map that can be viewed easily from the BU website, as a new student, I’m still finding it difficult finding buildings within campus as the map is not easily accessible from the website. P.S. it helps that there’s a beach nearby to enjoy when uni life gets stressful or you want to just relax and enjoy the beauty of Bournemouth.

My course is taught hybrid, online and in-classroom. I very much enjoy my studies as I’m on foundation, my study is very much broad to prepare me for first year. I cannot wait because I’m gaining general knowledge which builds up confidence as I get closer to officially starting my course. I find it easy to contact my lecturers and tutor if there’s any personal issue, they get back to me pretty much straight away, if they’re not preoccupied. Any questions will get answered, no matter how many times it is asked. We also have drop in sessions where students can choose to come in to get more information.

Absolutely love the hall I’m staying at, considering I did my application very late, the fact I got a room in this particular hall had to be fate! Which is why I’m sad that I won’t be able to return. I have not experienced any issues with my own room, however, our fridge broke down and when we informed the building manager they got someone to come and replace it straight away, no hassle. Receptionists are all friendly and welcoming, however, the smell from the bin room can seriously put you off of it gets bad. But that’s the only downside. We do have a court yard where our community room is located, they hold movie nights and other fun events, there’s a pool table and of course our laundry room! Very spacious area.
