Heey, received an unconditional for Business studies and gonna make Bournemouth my firm 🙌🏼

I haven't yet, had 3 rejections from Birmingham, Coventry and Leicester. So feeling nervous now!

Just wondering, when applying for the accommodation what are some of the preferences you get given? I know there is options like all girls/ all boys, en-suite etc. but what other preferences can you put down? for example music taste, background, interests? can you create your own profile? i'm going to apply to either dorchester or cranbourne and would be really helpful to know beforehandthanks

Hi ! I've got a conditional to study forensic computing and security xd soo as I already got my english results, I'm just waiting for the final exams , anyone else on forensic computing ? o.o

btw: whats the best accomodation considering this course is at talbot campus?

Personally i love living at dorchester, it is the furthest from the campus but even then excluding rush hour the journey takes only 15 mins and the stop is right outside- asda is directly opposite which helps too! Depends what you are looking from your halls really?

uhm,I don't have much expectations beside the basic ( clean,nice people,easy to get to the uni) but I think price matters to me.How is dorchester comparing to the rest regarding the price? and also I would prefere it to be like..quiet?!

thanks for your answer, unfortunately I can't attend open days but there is still enough time ahead to research the options I guess

Hi Reachmore,

Depends what your after. Although your course is on the Talbot campus, most students still opt to stay down in Lansdown. Lansdown has Dorchester, Lyme Regis, Landsdown point (Our new catered option), Purbeck, Chesil and Cranbourne. Due to the fact most students do stay down near the town centre, your accomodation rent will include a bus pass to get to and from the campus. They come every 10 minuites usually and there is bus stops outside all of the accomodations so no need to walk in the mornings!

However, if you're the type to wake up 5 minuites before your lecture you may want to consider the Student Villiage. It is the only accomodation on the Talbot campus and are little houses rather than flats. It is one of the cheapest accomodations, the only down side is that it doesn't include an ensuite like most of the halls do.

Some people may be put off with the Student Villiage just because it's slightly out from the nightlife. However if your not the biggest clubber then this shouldn't be an issue. Also I knew people that stayed there last year and lots of people end up getting together and chipping in for a taxi.

I saw on another post you said you was looking for somewhere a bit quiter. The student villiage, chesil and corfe are the halls known for being more quite. I think that is because Chesil is smaller than the others and then Corfe is based in Poole so it's a little further out.

However, I stayed in Dorchester last year and I didn't have any issues with noise. I think it may be a steotype that there is loud noise 24/7 at uni (although admitidely freshers week is a bit loud!)

Hope this helped and if you have any other questions feel free to ask

Hi Reach

My name is Amy and I am a final year student at BU and a student ambassador. Booking wont start until some time in the spring, but the uni will email you before hand to give all the details of the process.

As I understand it: you would make a profile for yourself, likes dislikes etc, and then you can pick a room in a house with people that match your likes and dislikes.

I wouldn't worry to much about it right now,

Is there anything else I could help with?

Hi there Amy, thank you . Well I guess its time to just chill and get ready for final exams then huh #

Just wondering where are the other forensic future students o.o
