All Access AUB Summer Residential

During the Summer Residential, you’ll be staying in our Campus Halls of Residence, just a stone’s throw away from the Refectory, art studios and lecture theatre. Visit our Halls of Residence page for more information – you can also find a handy video about Campus Halls below.

You’ll have your own en-suite bedroom in a flat with a maximum of seven other people.

Members of the Summer Residential team will also be staying in the halls and will be available throughout your stay if you need any help or support. Reception and security staff are on site 24 hours a day.

Please make sure we know about any medical conditions, allergies, accessibility requirements or other support needs so we can help you have a safe and enjoyable stay.

All of your meals will be provided during your stay, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snacks. You'll also receive a packed lunch when you arrive and when you leave.

There are water coolers across campus, so please bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the week.

Breakfast will include a range of hot and cold options, such as pancakes, toast, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and juice. For lunch and dinner, you'll be able to choose from a variety of meals in the refectory, including favourites such as pasta, pizza, burritos, curry and more. There will also be a salad bar and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available.

During the residential, you'll also enjoy a BBQ and a special meal out in Bournemouth town centre, where there'll be a buffet with lots of different food choices.

Please make sure you have told us about any allergies, dietary requirements or food intolerances before you arrive.

To help you prepare for your Summer Residential, please bring:

• Enough clothes and toiletries for your four-day stay. Try to pack only what you need to make travelling easier.
• A change of clothes for the evening activities, if you'd like one.
• If you're joining the Art and Design stream, you'll be working in our studios and experimenting with different materials, so please bring clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy.
• Comfortable, flat shoes that are suitable for walking around campus.
• Clothes for all types of weather. Don't forget a hat, sun cream and a waterproof jacket or raincoat.
• Any medication you need during your stay. If you have a medical condition, allergy or other support need, please make sure you've told us before you arrive.
• Some spending money if you'd like to buy extra snacks or drinks. There'll be an opportunity to visit a nearby shop during the week.
• Any valuables are brought at your own risk. Please take care of your belongings, as we can't be responsible for items that are lost, damaged or misplaced.
• You may also like to bring small personal items to help make your room feel more comfortable and familiar during your stay.
