Bournemouth, the hometown of
Bournemouth University in the county of Dorset, is a long-established tourist destination and as Britain's premier seaside holiday resort, attracts visitors from all over the UK and beyond.
Famous for its 12 kilometres of sandy beaches, beautiful parks and gardens and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, Bournemouth blends a traditional British seaside resort with a busy and thriving town.
Bournemouth is situated on the south coast of England and is less than two hours from London. With a population of just over 163,000, it is large enough to have all the facilities of a big town but small enough that you never feel lost.
Bournemouth University offers a range of accommodation, close to the campuses, local amenities and public transport routes, to make the transition to University life an easy one.
All accommodation is within a few miles of the Talbot and Lansdowne campuses and thriving social life. Student safety is the priority, and some of the accommodation options have resident staff on site. The Talbot and Lansdowne campuses are two miles apart.
The Residential Services team expect to offer accommodation to all first year students in a range of University and Privately managed halls of residence, University Managed private houses and in other private accommodation. There are Halls places for around 60% of 1st year undergraduate students.
