Quick answer
BU is not one single-site campus decision. Talbot Campus is in Poole, Lansdowne is closer to Bournemouth town centre and beach, and Chapel Gate is an off-site sports campus. Your course location should influence both your accommodation choice and your transport budget.
A sensible campus check
- Start with the current BU travel and transport information.
- Look up the exact teaching location for your course before signing a contract.
- Compare bus, cycle and walking options rather than assuming a short map distance means a short daily journey.
- Keep a contingency for timetable changes, late finishes and sport or society travel.
