Hello Amy ,

Thank you so much , you have helped a lot . I came to the applicant day and I loved the crime scene facility there so I am really looking forward to studying at BU so hopefully I can get the grades to get in ! Thanks again and good luck with the rest of your final year!

Hi Catriona ,

That's great you are the first person I have spoken to that is taking this course . BU is my firm choice and I thinking of selecting Cranbourne as my accommodation . What about you ?

I have it as my firm choice too and I'm thinking about Lyme Regis but I'm really not sure! There are too many to chose from. 😂 Do you live around the area?

Haha I know there are lots of options I'm going to an open day in July just to look at the accommodation as I did not get to see all of them when I visited last time . I live no where near BU haha , I live just outside London in Watford so I am new to the Bournemouth location haha xx What about you , are you local ?

When is the opening day in July? I haven't been to see yet I'm just going on what the website is saying and what everyone else is saying on this about the university! I'm from Belfast in Northern Ireland so I'm no where near it and know no one.

Oh wow yeah you are nowhere near . I'm going to the Saturday 2nd of July open day just to see the housing . It's a really great university the crime scene facilities are great and they are moving their location from Landsdowne campus to the Talbot campus where we will do all our lectures , so they have more space . And when we go in September the new science labs they have been building will be done so it's practically all brand new there ! X

Honestly I'm glad to talk to someone who has been, it sounds like such a good course! It's honestly so scary, I'm glad I'll actually sort of know of someone! X

I'm considering it, my only problem is getting there! I could get a plane to London and then a train but I'm trying to see if there are any closer airports! I would love to be able to go and have a look around! At least when it comes to are first class we can worry less cause we'll actually know someone haha xx

Oh yeah getting there must be a nightmare ! From where I live it's 40 minute train to London then 2 hours to Bournemouth station but that's nothing compared to how far you have to come . At least you would have seen the uni before going in September . Yeah that's true , I think half of the neves is not knowing anyone so at least we will ! X where are you currently studying now or just left ?

Is there a train that goes directly from London to Bournemouth? Are you bringing a parent along or friend or are you going down by yourself? I'm sitting my a-levels right now, so I finish next month! What about you?

I am going with my mum to see the housing as we will drive down there . Last time I went to the applicant day with a friend by train as I did not want to drive all that way haha. And yeah same I am doing a-levels also , what subjects are you taking ? X

Hey Catriona,

My name is Steve and I'm an ambassador for BU here on TSR.

We do have an airport here in Bournemouth, but getting here from Belfast would mean a return price of £500, and you'd have to use Alicante as a transfer airport! :tongue:

Just to make you aware, the direct line from London into Bournemouth is Waterloo. If you can to Waterloo it doesn't involve any changes and it's a really easy ride.

It would be really good if you could get to an open day. The next days available are Saturday 11th June and Saturday 2nd July.

Hi Steve,
