in town there are many good clubs including vodka reveloutions orange rooms kaos and many more fine establishments. There are 2 big shopping centres in town and the high street west quays amd East street mall east street mall has a huge cex shop which is great for cheap dvd's cd's games what have you. You also have all your usual shops in west quays such as apple amd topman.

on the street towards soul celler there are loads of take aways and on wa days the common is a great place to chill out with a bbq and a couple of drinks there is also a dri ski slope and bournmouth is only a shoty journy by train if you want to go the beach.
so yeah great place to live and study
