It\u2019s not just Bournemouth\u2019s university that\u2019s great; living here is awesome too! Bournemouth is the perfect mix of country, coastal and city living.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Take a trip on the Bournemouth Balloon in the South Gardens.<\/strong>
\nFamiliarise yourself with your new surroundings.<\/p>\n

2) Have a house\/flat mate\u2019s selfie on the pier.<\/strong>
\nBeware it may take a few attempts because of that sea breeze, Selfie Stick may be required!\"Chris-beach\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) Get a pizza delivered straight to your door.<\/strong>
\nAn essential for every lazy Saturday, you don\u2019t even have to change out of your pyjamas!
\n\"Chris-pizza2\"<\/a>4) Take your friends out clubbing with a fancy dress theme.<\/strong>
\nWhether you are nerds, ghosts, OAPs, smurfs or even just in your Christmas jumpers you will definitely be in for a memorable night. Plenty of opportunities to do this during freshers\u2019 week!
\n\"Chris<\/a>
\n5) Indulge in waffles and ice cream at Sprinkles Gelato.<\/strong>
\nPrepare yourselves (and your finances) for a seriously sweet treat!<\/p>\n

6) \u201cGet Hulked\u201d with a pitcher of The Incredible Hulk at Dylan\u2019s bar!\"Chris-Dylans2\"<\/strong>
\nLoads of cheap drinks (what else would a student want?) as the bar is run by SUBU, it\u2019s a huge hit on the Talbot Campus.<\/p>\n

7) Visit Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.<\/strong>
\nNot technically in Bournemouth but a short journey away, these two landmarks have to be seen to be believed!<\/p>\n

8) Cycle along the Promenade to Sandbanks.<\/strong>
\nA nice way to get in a bit of exercise by the beach as the sun goes down in the evening.<\/p>\n

9) Catch your favourite musician, comedian or show at the BIC.<\/strong>
\nThe BIC hosts loads of entertaining shows and exhibitions, including the BFX festival.<\/p>\n

10) Meet all the Aquatic Life Bournemouth has to offer at the Oceanarium<\/strong>
\n– including sharks, piranhas, catfish, lion-fish, octopuses and turtles!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
