Where to Stay?

Bournemouth is a thriving town and offers the feel of a holiday destination, making it the perfect place to study in a welcoming, friendly community, or enjoy some downtime with your friends. The city itself has a vibrant nightlife with a whole host of bars, clubs and restaurants, and for those nights where you’re looking for a little more, it’s just two hours from the bright lights of the capital. Unite Students’ centrally located accommodation puts you in an ideal location to make the most of your time on the South coast.

Our student halls in Bournemouth, Purbeck House, is found in the bustling city centre. It puts you in touching distance of all Bournemouth’s best amenities and huge stretch of beaches, while the city’s excellent transport links promise an easy commute out to Bournemouth University and Bournemouth and Poole College. Our student accommodation offers a range of choice when it comes to your university home, including studio flats, en-suite rooms and accessible studios. The modern complex also features a common area, communal study space and outdoor social space.

There are not many university cities where you can say your student halls are walking distance from a beach. Bournemouth has four blue flag beaches; each spoilt for choice when it comes to bars and restaurants to enjoy a day or evening out. Our student accommodation in Bournemouth also leaves you close to the city’s impressive shopping and music scene. Purbeck House is walking distance from the pedestrianised town centre, where you’ll find high street stores like House of Fraser and Debenhams. Bournemouth’s O2 Academy and International Centre have a reputation for attracting famous international artists, perfect if you’re looking for a university city with great live music venues.
