I live at Purbeck House and my personal opinion is that it's the best accomodation due to the caring,kind and always striving to help kind of staff that actually care about the residents of the building and the building itself, from the people at the reception to the cleaning staff and maintenance,everyone is alway helpfull and whenever there is a problem ( even though it's extremely rare) it tends to get solved within 24 hours. It's clear that the staff enjoy doing their work as their attitude towards their work shows that they take pride in it which is a incredible quality to have. I give it 10/10 which is why I will be living here next year as well.

I am very happy that I chose to go to Bournemouth university for my studies. It’s really refreshing to be in a small town by the sea. Everyone that I’ve spoken to have been really kind and there is a big range of clubs and societies to take part in which makes me feel more welcomed.

A very calm, studious and friendly campus located between Poole and Bournemouth with a serene environment. Management team ensure the buildings are well managed and the professors are very eager to help. The social atmosphere is vibrant, with plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow students. Safety is a top priority, and the location is ideal—close to key amenities and well-connected to the city.
