Accommodation if you're a mature student?

What accommodations are available as a mature student doing an undegrad? I don't mind being with younger people, but worried they mind.

I heard about Okeford Halls, but it has some quite bad reviews, unless they were old.

Hi Anonymous,

I'm Will, a Media Production Student currently undertaking my placement year.
BU don't offer any accomodations specifically for undergrad mature students, but we do have a large variety of accommodation options which you can see here: https://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/why-bu/accommodation/accommodation-options
Also, on our student blog site we have a couple of blogs and vlogs made by mature students. I have linked a couple here for you. This one is a vlog about going to University: https://microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk/student-blog/2021/11/12/life-at-university-from-a-mature-students-perspective/
And this one is about living in halls as a mature student: https://microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk/student-blog/2019/03/03/mature-student-living-halls/

I hope this helps
Will :smile:
