So many places to get good food and coffee anywhere on Talbot Campus. There’s a pub, Dylan’s Bar with all day food and occasional quiz nights. There’s the atrium Starbucks in Poole Building, one in the very comfortable SUBU building, there’s a juice bar, a cafeteria with great food selection, a Starbucks and a costa cafe in fusion building, and another coffee shop in the Media Building. The library can get crammed at peak times, but has everything you need and a bridge link to SUBU building. Some more outdoor seating would be nice maybe, but it’s getting better and the lecture theatres, seminar rooms and other facilities are pretty neat. I like the atmosphere too, it’s friendly and feels more like a bunch of friends on a chilled out summer festival and because all buildings are arranged around sort of a courtyard it is very easy to meet people you know.

My complaint is with the transcript department not issuing official copies of your transcripts after 10-years have elapsed, essentially making your degree worthless. They initiated this policy without notifying any alumni. Thanks BU!

I joined Bournemouth University with great expectations of societies and wonderful friendly people but was sadly disappointed on arrival. This hasn't improved over the last 6 months. You have to pay extra out of your pocket to take part in societies and even then they are terribly run and rarely meet! There is a minuscule collection of societies heavily revolved around sports or drinking... if you're looking for culture head somewhere else. Food on campus is overpriced and not student friendly. It's cheaper to get a meal deal at Tesco. The cherry on the cake is unfriendly peers who merely want to get drunk or go home for the weekend. I wouldn't recommend this university to anyone who has even a glimmer of life in them, it will suck it out of you.

University itself is a high standard, however they got rid of the best food/diner area in 2017 which left students with little to no eating places on campus.

Brilliant modern university to be attending! Always events on throughout every week so there is plenty to do during your spare time at uni during breaks between your lectures and seminars.
