Too expensive food wise and snack wise
A nice small campus with a modern feel, very easy to get around with lots of good stores and places to get a quick snack. On campus stores are quite pricey but the nearby premier is fab for a quick sweet before or after lectures and workshops.
It is such a wonderful place, campus is beautiful and the course checks all the boxes! It is in a nice location and not too big but also not too small. The facilities are widely accessible and are the best of the best!
Best - Campus facilities and look Worst - Contact Hours
Location of the uni is not near any shops and is quite far out of the city centre but the general experience of being at the uni is good, I’m in first year and like it, only thing that could be better is the organisation and structure of the courses, it’s a bit laid back and disorganised but still I like the people lecturers and place.

Student support and inclusivity, international, the location and town environment is nice for someone from the city, maybe the facilities, bathrooms, small spacing in the university can be updated, and also specifically the university website and online media can be updated as well than just their instagram medias - update the university more

Best part about this uni is that you get to meet lot of new people and can become friends with and that it’s a small uni which makes it feel like a community that we all get along with each other . Worst part I would say is the food /cafeteria because the food sometimes is cold when it’s served and it’s quite expensive even for a student as it add up pretty quickly . Also that the food station sometimes isn’t the cleanest . I think they can improve by making meals cheaper and making it more cleaner and food hot and to have the credit for those in a disadvantage position in terms with money but only up to year 1 and 2. The bathrooms is also one worst place as they always seemed to be blocked or that someone hasn’t flushed . To improve on this is to have someone to check the toilet throughout the day to make sure that they are up to hygiene standards. Staff are really friendly and are easier to talk to and they always want to help. Teaching is great but sometimes they need to explain it more in depth or in more detail even if it means a handout sheet .
Great Facilities, and amazing staff. Small, yet great campus, bit confusing to get around sometimes.
You get a lot of support from your teachers, especially when you’re a first year student is great. Also the coursework is really helpful to get used to the “university education” and understand what you’re expected to do. I don’t have yet a bad aspect, hopefully I won’t have any during my studies here!
I think the campus is amazing! And has outstanding facilities! I think everyone is friendly and there is a great sense of community in the university! I think it’s so important that the university has all of the arts in one place allowing students to combine skills and collaborate on work!
It connects people that take part in different aspects of art, and allows them to easily network and communicate with each other, it also offers very good facilities
The University is welcoming, and small enough to not feel overwhelming, which was what first attracted me to it. I wouldn't say I've had very bad experiences, only small annoyances, which came mostly from poor organisation and communication, but those haven't hindered all my good experiences (both planned by the uni or things done with friends). I love the course and all the freedom I have, and despite all the rain, I do love Bournemouth.
The campus is very welcoming and friendly and has loads of colour everywhere; it feels very modern! Government budget cuts mean facilities are being reduced. However, there are dedicated tool spaces, which is especially helpful for sculpture students

The tutors and staff in the film course are incredibly supportive and easy to reach out to with whatever questions, concerns, or issues you may have. There's a strong sense of community in AUB, where you get to know people from other courses or different year groups and work together on projects. There are many social events throughout the year that bring life to campus.
I love the facilities and campus of my uni, the bright colors and atmosphere make it enjoyable place to study at. It’s great that we have access to a wide range of areas for any art medium imaginable. Something that I think could be improved is the canteen. The food is great but I think more people would be interested in eating there if there was a heater during the cold winter and if there was a way to make the space more colorful. Another way I think that my uni could get students to stay on campus longer is if there were more events or activities on campus.

The facilities and lecturers here are great! We have lots of opportunities in the creative industry in the area as well as plenty of societies! The campus is quite small which is something I would of wished I looked at more. Food and drinks on campus should be offered at a lower and more student-friendly price.
