Privately renting... Where to live?
Where would you recommend is the best place to live if you are studying at AUCB?
Me and my boyfriend are getting a flat, he will be studying at Southampton and will be driving everyday.
We want to live in Bournemouth area as he is a more experienced driver than myself and it would be easier for him to drive each day.
I am so confused where is the closest/best place to live if you want to be near the university?
I heard the AUCB is not in Bournemouth? So should we get a flat in Poole? I heard some say Winton is the best place when you are studying? I have only visited the area once (for my interview) I am not familiar with the Bournemouth area... I will be visiting again soon to view houses, so any help would be appreciated. -

Winton is basically where most people live after first year, so loads of students will be living there. Depending on where in Winton you live it's something like a 5-20 minute walk from both AUCB and the BU main campus. You can also get a bus to uni from both Bournemouth and Poole if you choose to live there, but if you want to live near uni I'd say try to find a flat/house in Winton
