I went to cameo, walkabout and lost during my freshers week and really really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend these along with toast at vodka revs and snakebite Sunday’s.

Great events, always had something for everyone to do no matter what type of music, event or activities your into. All staff involved in freshers made you feel very welcome and helped you fit right in at Bournemouth university

Loved every minute of it and loved that it was 2 weeks not 1, however would have been helpful to not have to go to uni in the second week hanging

Vibrant and fun, a nice variation of events meaning theres something for everyone. It's all timed well with the beginning of your course so you'll be meeting alot of new people giving you a lot more choice on who to go out with.

I moved in to my post-grad halls and was greeted by the staff there which were really friendly and they checked me in and gave me my keys and showed me up to my room. There was a few people that had moved in already, I was very nervous but the staff member made me feel really welcome and introduced me to my new flatmates. That day we had an event to go to at The Old Fire Station with our ResLife staff, they were really friendly and showed us to the bus stops and took us to the location, the event was a rockeoke band event, which was actually quite fun! Me and my housemates started chatting and singing to the songs we knew and then near the end of the night we decided to join in with the dancing with our ResLife staff. It was really enjoyable and everyone made me feel like I was welcome there.

Freshers weeks were full of everything I expected and more! There was two weeks worth of events to go to and I feel it really helps you to bond with course mates and your flat mates.

Moving in was made easy by friendly staff and other students and they left a welcome pack which was a very nice touch

At first it was not what I expected, I really enjoyed it don't get me wrong, however I could not fully be myself around new people so I wasn't enjoying it to the full, if I had made the friends I have now at uni right at the start it would of been much better!

The BU clib had a free night on move in day. Both the club was open as was the bar. In the bar there was a ping-pong table set up and an impromptu tournament started. ( I won )

Freshers was so good, many events all of which were buzzing with people!! Make so many friends and gets you familiar with the nightlife of Bournemouth.

The events were really good but expensive, tips don’t buy wrist bands you don’t use them or Alist cards never used them the whole time I’ve been here

Move in experience was great, met excellent people and night life really made freshers great, there's a whole range of great clubs in Bournemouth like Cameo and halo, I can garuntee every future student will have a great time

Easy move in process, great team helping every step of the way. Flats were better than expected. Everyone in our halls was amazing, Purbeck house was the best it could have been. Easy to meet new people between all of the halls across the town as they are so close. Also the 2 week freshers is definitely a must, not the 1 week everywhere else. Tips for students, don’t hold back, knock on all the rooms and flats for the first couple of weeks. Meet everyone you can and enjoy the first couple of weeks. You can easily keep on top of uni and going out in the first year so make the most of the time and money you have before second and third year!

Absolutely unforgettable (not very memorable - for good reasons) 2 weeks! Linger than usual uni freshers weeks but filled with events every day of the two weeks including a garden party (festival) and good deals on tickets and wristbands for all events.
