If you’re heading to study in the beautiful coastal town of Bournemouth, you’re in for a treat. With its golden beaches, lively nightlife, and relaxed student vibe, Bournemouth is one of the UK’s most popular university cities. Whether you’re joining Bournemouth University or Arts University Bournemouth, choosing the right accommodation can make all the difference to your student experience — and that’s where Belaton House comes in.

Life at Bournemouth University

Bournemouth University (BU) is known for its strong emphasis on practical learning and career opportunities. From cutting-edge media courses to respected business and health programmes, BU’s approach is all about preparing students for the real world.

The university has two main campuses:

• Lansdowne Campus – located in the town centre, close to shops, cafés, and transport links.
• Talbot Campus – the larger of the two, surrounded by green space, is home to the main library, lecture halls, and the Students’ Union.

Getting between campuses is easy thanks to regular UniBus services, and living nearby means you’ll never be far from your next lecture or social event.

Why students love Bournemouth

Bournemouth isn’t just about studying — it’s about lifestyle. Imagine finishing class and heading straight to the beach with your friends, or catching sunset views after a day in the library. The town has a buzzing atmosphere, with a mix of independent cafés, vintage shops, and student-friendly pubs. There’s always something going on, from open-mic nights to beach volleyball tournaments.

And with London only two hours away, you can enjoy the best of both worlds — the energy of the city and the calm of the coast.
