Kieran,
you will soon be able to chat with your future course-mates via the wonders of the internet, courtesy of the NATS recruitment site, so you will soon find out if there are any like-minded individuals who want to share a flat. Bournemouth has a lot of flats for rent so you shouldn't have any problem finding accomodation [although the summer sees rents increase]. Most trainees do tend to opt for B&B at the start though.
Feels good to be heading for such an interesting career, dunnit
Bet your mates from Uni are jealous...
