Discover Bournemouth
Bournemouth is one of the most stunning coastal towns in the south of England and is famous for its seven-mile stretch of award-winning sandy beaches.
Offering you the option for a peaceful life by the sea or a lively and dynamic lifestyle, Bournemouth has the perfect blend of both. You’ll find picturesque parks, countryside and outdoor spaces right on your doorstep, including ten stunning nature reserves. The New Forest and Jurassic Coast are also just a few miles away.
Bournemouth has an animated nightlife, with lots of LGBTQI+ friendly venues, pubs, bars and nightclubs to visit, as well as the BH2 entertainment complex which is home to a cinema, restaurants and other fun leisure activities. Don’t forget a trip to Bournemouth pier – an unmissable attraction with stunning sea views as well as some fantastic eateries.
The student experience in Bournemouth is second to none and we benefit from working in partnership with Bournemouth University to offer the ResLifeBU programme.
The programme operates around three core aims: to help you recognise and develop those skills you need for your new independent life at BU; to offer you a diverse and inclusive range of social activities, so you can connect and form life-long friendships; and finally, because things don’t always go to plan, to provide you with wellbeing support if and when you need it.
Chesil House
Chesil House is a popular choice for both undergraduate and postgraduate residents with a mix of en-suite and studio options. Small and cosy, it has a chilled and relaxed vibe in a stunning seaside location. It's minutes away from the Lansdowne Campus, night life and the town centre, and only 10 minutes by bus from Talbot Campus.
Cranborne House
Cranborne House is located on the doorstep of the Bournemouth Gateway Building, the heart of the Lansdowne Campus, and is seconds away from bus stops to and from Talbot Campus. Being at the heart of Lansdown also means that it is a short walk to the vibrant nightlife and from the town centre and beach.
Lyme Regis House
Our student accommodation in Bournemouth is run in partnership with Bournemouth University and is located on the Lansdowne Campus. The rooms in Lyme Regis House are fresh, current and inviting, a great example of modern student living where you can choose from en-suite or studio living options.
Okeford House
Largely catering for postgraduate students, Okeford House is ideal for those who are looking for an independent living experience but with the benefit of managed accommodation. It is set in the heart of Winton, a residential suburb just a few minutes' walk from the Talbot Campus and in easy reach of a variety of shops on the local high street.

Poole
Poole’s crown jewel – the second largest natural harbour in the world – hosts some of the most breathtaking scenery and wildlife.
