Bournemouth University Official Q&A

Hi,
I have unfortunately not got into halls (im a fresher) but have found that Lulworth House and Union House are available. Do you know how many freshers stay there? Or would i be with other years? Is there any difference apart from it being privately owned... Ive been told its only students there but just wondered what type of students!

Hi everyone

For up to date advice on what to do if you haven't secured BU-allocated accommodation, please visit our website.

The main advice is to register for our Homefinders Day on 5 September and join our BU Find a Housemate Facebook page to meet other students in the same position.

The important thing is not to worry - we're here to guide you every step of the way!

Hi, i was wondering if you had any information on private accommodation, in purticular lulworth student accommodation

I am studying business information technology so which campus should I book in for?or does it matter at all?and also what did you guys do for freshers week?

Hi turiga28

BSc (Hons) Business Information Technology is based at our Talbot Campus but you're free to attend any of the Week One events on either campus.

Hopefully there are some current students on here who will comment on what they did for arrivals week. In the meantime, Alice's blog is worth a read. Things are a little different in that freshers is only one week now but it'll give you an idea what to expect - https://microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk/undergraduate/2014/07/31/1436/

See you in September!

Hi I am currently going into year 12 and am going to be studying Media AS and Btec ICT which is equivalent to two A levels and in total I will be finishing year 13 with 3 A levels in total. I just wanted to know would I be at a disadvantage here If I was applying to Bournemouth with these subjects?

I am wanting to study Media and communications in 2017 If you could please answer this for me it would be very helpful.

Kind regards,

just out of interest what can i do to ensure that i get the accommodation that i want in first year? ive heard about people who didnt get into the halls they wanted and were moved to the likes of corfe house and werent very hapy about it

Hi Ro01ro

Great to hear you're interested in our BA (Hons) Communication & Media course. As long as you’re continuing the Media Studies at A-level, you will be considered for the course. We would not consider just AS-levels. If you have any further questions, can I suggest you email our enquiries team at [email protected] and an adviser will be happy to help.

Thanks, Sarah

Hi,I am struggling to find available rooms in all the campuses offered. It keeps saying no records found I am worried in case I wont find a room available for me to live on campus

Hi turiga28

Apologies, it wasn't clear your last question was about accommodation. Unfortunately, most of our Halls of Residence and Unilet properties have now been allocated this year, which is why you are getting the message that no records are found. There may be cancellations over the next few days so do keep checking for new vacancies. In the meantime, here's how you can find private accommodation:

Let others know you are looking for housemates - join our BU Find a Housemate Facebook group

Register to attend our Homefinders Day on Saturday 5 September and meet other students who are looking to rent a private property - local estate agents and private student accommodation providers will be present

Look for property vacancies using the BU Letting Service and other private landlords and letting agents. In addition, you can visit the various other online property search sites, e.g. Movem and Rightmove.

Thanks
