Accommodation
Viewing properties online, calling estate agents, viewing properties, paying deposit over phone, meeting to discuss contact details, providing guarantor details, signing tenancy agreement online. Renting through Roberts - really good service! Difficult to know when to start looking for properties though

Course
The structure of the course has been poor, with lecturers being switched half way through units, and the layout was not clear. My course has covered a wide range of content which is good, from basic university skills such as referencing to more interesting subjucts like the psychology behind advertising. Teaching quality has been varied, some lecturers are great and clear whilst others are less so.

Accommodation
My student accomadation is very good. Whilst it’s not the best one Bournemouth uni have to offer, it is definitely one of the top ones. The rooms are spacious, modern and well designed. The kitchen is well equipped. It’s a fairly lively accomadation yet i’ve never been kept up when i’m trying to sleep.

Accommodation
There was a buzz amongst friends at uni about housing next year around october/november and most people had decided who they wanted to live with and made their friends. The process is fairly striaghtforward but confusing at times. After finding the group, individually we each looked at houses online (rightmove had the widest variety) then one we had found around 6 we wanted to see we made appointments and got shown around each house. When we had picked the house we had to go to the estate agents and provide information. Since then it’s just been about having the funds as there are deposits due, first months rent and it can all be very expensive if unanticipated
