LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF, MY NAME IS ELISABETH WURZER AND I AM A FINAL YEAR COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDENT.<\/p>\n

I had never been to Bournemouth University until I actually moved into halls, so my decision on where to live was quite spontaneous and I chose the Student Village. I moved into\u00a0a 7 bedroom house, which was one of the biggest ones, with two other girls and four guys in the \u201clively\u201d part of the village.<\/p>\n

Moving away from home does take some time to get used to. My room was basically a tiny cupboard and it took me some time to get used to live in such a small space compared to home. Especially as I had to move literally all my belongings there in one go. Being from Austria, I could not just drive home over the weekend to swap over some clothes. Something else that I had to get\u00a0used to was sharing a\u00a0bathroom and kitchen with complete strangers who weren\u2019t always the cleanest people!<\/p>\n

Despite this,\u00a0if you\u2019re about to move into the\u00a0village then you are lucky to benefit from some amazing advantages. Number one being\u00a0that you can just roll out of bed 15 minutes before your 9am lecture and still be there on time! Reason number two \u2013\u00a0if you are having a really lazy day you can stay in your PJ\u2019s all day long without having to get on a bus to go\u00a0to uni or a bus to go food shopping. As long as you don\u2019t need to fill your entire fridge you can easily pop to Premier in your onesie and no one will care!\u00a0Or you can even have your shopping delivered!<\/p>\n

Additionally, the\"IMG_3262\" village is very sociable. Everyone knows everyone, which makes sharing a taxi after a night out really handy. If you loose your friends or want to go home early, it\u2019s likely that you will find other people from the village who also want to hit the hay.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0I was a fresher again I would have headed to the beach more often. Bournemouth\u2019s beaches are stunning but the fresher-sloth-syndrome often kept me in the village or the university area, which isn\u2019t really bad but hey, there is a beach! Embrace it!\u00a0As long as you don\u2019t hide in your\u00a0cupboard of a room you will have an unforgettable first year \u2013 just make the most of it!<\/p>\n
