What’s on

ResLifeBU

"It’s easy to forget before starting that everyone else is going through the same thing and is probably just as nervous as you are."

Imogen Byers, BA (Hons) Communication & Media

For students living in BU accommodation, ResLifeBU creates a community where you can feel comfortable in your home away from home. At the start of term, we’re all about helping you enjoy a new life here in Bournemouth.

From the moment you arrive and throughout the year we’ll be organising activities in and around your residence as well as the local area – from mini-golf, film and open mic nights to excursions and lessons in sports like surfing and yoga.

We also focus our attention on developing your life skills and supporting your wellbeing. You can expect cooking classes, time-management sessions and stress-busting activities.

Whether you’re in BU managed halls or a UniLet house, there will be loads for you to do. This year as a result of Covid-19, we will be making sure that no matter what, with physical distancing in place, there will still be something for you to get involved in!

Once you have secured your room in the BU accommodation portfolio, you can join a dedicated Facebook group for each of your halls or UniLets – follow @BUResLife on Facebook now and pop on Instagram and give us a like too @reslifeBU

ResLifeBU and your Wellbeing

At some point in the first week or the first semester, it’s natural to feel homesick or overwhelmed amongst the excitement of starting university. If you do start to feel this way, you can speak to our ResLifeBU Wellbeing Co-ordinators - they’ll be available when you arrive so feel free to say hi at any time. You can also contact our Student Wellbeing team using the contact details on page 41.
