Pretty good. Lots of clubs and societies. Lots of student club nights - like almost one every night I think? rnThereu2019s a bar on campus but you wonu2019t be short of a bar anywhere in Bournemouth anyways.

Decent accommodation is expensive here. You could go with the cheaper halls but youu2019re at risk of insect/rodent infestation and/or crackheads so you weigh the pros and cons. rn

Love my accommodation. rnLibrary could do with a renovation but still has the whatu2019s needed. Facilities are good. rnCafes and shops in the campus are exp...

Really nice lecturers that listen well and help where they can. Respond quickly to emails and messages. rnLecture notes and presentations could be improved as I donu2019t think they fully cover what is need (particularly the programming based modules).
