With study rooms to coffee shops, there is nothing else needed whilst you\u2019re there. \u00a0However, due to the size of the student population, there are often little things that you can pick up to make sure your time is best suited to optimise studying. Below are some helpful tips to allow for this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Studying<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/files\/2016\/01\/library-filter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3831 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/files\/2016\/01\/library-filter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"284\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a>If you\u2019re studying by yourself, there are plenty of computers at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.bournemouth.ac.uk\/students\/library\">library<\/a>. Be it for silent study, try the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> or 4<sup>th<\/sup> floor, or if you like some background noise try the ground and 1<sup>st <\/sup>floor<strong>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re carrying out group work, i.e. presentation, try the techno booths on either the ground or 1<sup>st<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>SUBU also have two locations to carry out work, Booth Blue or Orange<\/li>\n<li>If you want to uninterrupted group work, try one of two separate rooms on the 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 2<sup>nd<\/sup> floor<\/li>\n<li>Another place to potentially find a table to sit at is within fusion, but bear in mind it\u2019s a very big open planned place, great for somethings, not always that great for studying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to ensure any of these however, it is best to book through the library link.<\/p>\n<p>My top tip if you want to do exam revision, think a week ahead. The library and SUBU get booked up quickly, although if you don\u2019t mind going in on your weekend, they are generally less busy and you\u2019re more likely to find somewhere to revise. I often book out a room, get a couple of friends to book it as well, then you have uninterrupted study time, either silent or group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food and Drink<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.bournemouth.ac.uk\/students\/services-campus\/campus-dining\/dining-talbot-campus\">several places<\/a> to get food throughout Talbot campus, whether it\u2019s a quick drink\/snack or a meal there are many options.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re based in Weymouth house you have a coffee shop on the ground floor, though as a SciTech student, I don\u2019t venture in there so can\u2019t tell you too much about it.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6212 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/files\/2017\/02\/Dylans-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"286\" \/>The student shop offers quick snacks to cover over those long lectures during lunchtime<\/li>\n<li>Dylan\u2019s and the fusion building offer full meals if you are ever in need of a quick meal if you don\u2019t feel like cooking after your late lecture this is an option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll find your own favourite coffee spot (if it\u2019s your thing) be it in SUBU or the Atrium, \u00a0however you do get your rushes. My personal favourite is the Atrium whenever I\u2019m studying as it\u2019s open on a weekend as well, though trying to time it right during the week is the next difficult thing. The next best alternative I find is to\u00a0bring your own, it may not have all the extras, but you can guarantee it\u2019s made just how you like it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The library<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As foreign as the concept may be in this highly technical era, books are a very useful resource. Lecturers will always provide books they want you to read\/have read, though they can often be expensive. You could always share or look in the library, the latter however, does not guarantee availability. They may also provide an insight of where else to delve into for research on assignments. Due to the number of students on campus, the library often gets busier during lunchtime and exam periods. The best time to go is in the morning, as students are not normally early risers. Though don\u2019t be surprised if you see the odd one there.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talbot Campus, the main University Campus.
