Bournemouth University

Im starting here next week! I am sooo excited! Great place to learn and meet new friends I am doing a great course Forensic Science, Archeology and Anthropology a three year degree. I am a mature student and feel very lucky to be given a stab at higher education.

The location is great, the facilities are great, welcoming and friendly and anyone can make the most of it here too, my son is attending the nursery on the campus and they are great! So peace of mind and a great adventure ahead of me cant be bad at all!

First & foremost do not even bother looking at Bournemouth as a prospective university unless you are going to be part of the Media school. Im sorry to rubbish all the other courses but there really are better places to go! (However, i believe the Art College it good but then again I don't think it's part of the uni)

However, if you are going to university just to have fun this is the place to do it! The beach is 7 miles of golden sand, the nightlife is really good and caters for all tastes so whether you're in to hip-hop, r'n'b, pop, heavy metal... whatever, you'll be happy in Bournemouth. The town is very pretty, the array of shops isn't vast but it's enough.

It has been rated by the gaurdian as the no.1 new university, and I certainly think it lives up to that reputation by virtue of its media and tourism courses. The animation course is said to be the no.1 in UK. The Multimedia journalism course is also counted among the top 4 or 5 media courses in the country. The infrastructure is truly hot here, with my classroom having an imac on every table.
