If you are looking for accomodation, most of the students (Are they still called that?) Stay in B&B's is Westby Road Boscombe. At least until they get to know each other.
When I was there I chose not to as it can feel abit like living with parents (Landladies take an interest in what you get up to!).
The hierachy like it as it means you are bonding as a group and that you will study together (How wrong they are).
Whatever you do good luck. Bournemouth as has been said is a fantastic place to live.
