Your home away from home.
Moving to university is a big step. Whether you're arriving from across the country or across the world, ResLifeBU is here to help you feel at home, build connections and thrive during your time in halls.
Exclusively for students living in BU accommodation (Accommodation options | Bournemouth University), ResLifeBU is funded through a £1.75 weekly contribution included in your rent. It offers a year-round programme of events, activities and opportunities, ran by SUBU, built around three key areas: Social, Skills and Wellbeing.
Throughout the year, ResLifeBU delivers hundreds of experiences designed to help you settle into university life. From trips and excursions to quiz nights, skills workshops, wellbeing walks and much more. No matter your interests, there's something for everyone.
