Hello,

Our university is full of student opportunities! We have just under 100 different clubs and societies which you can view here. In regards to Accommodation, you can see the listing and prices of our accommodation here.
With town and street life, this depends on where in the BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch, & Poole) area you live in. We have Bournemouth Town centre which is decently lively, the Winton high street and the Christchurch and Poole area.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask some more!
