The 6 Best Things to Look for in AECC Student Accommodation

Are you gearing up for university life at AECC University College? One of the most crucial aspects of this new chapter is finding the perfect student accommodation. Whether you're a first-year student or moving off-campus, your living environment can significantly impact your overall university experience. Here at Lulworth Student Company, we are proud affiliates of AECC University College in Bournemouth and we have a great selection of rooms reserved for both 1st year and returning students from AECC.

In this blog we are looking into the key factors to consider when searching for the ideal AECC Student Accommodation.

1. Proximity to the University

The first thing to consider when looking for student accommodation is its proximity to the university campus. Living close to campus not only saves you time but also reduces transportation costs. Here at Lulworth, we understand the importance of being near your classes and campus activities.

Transport

Lulworth’s AECC student accommodation is located just a short distance away from AECC’s main building, the Parkwood and Garnet Campus, which means cheaper travel and less to think about with multiple transport options.

Travel Distances and Journey Time

• By bus: 5-minute walk to the bus stop and a 10-minute ride.
• By bike: 11-minute cycle.
• By foot: 39-minute walk (if you fancy it). Halve the time by taking a jog.
• By car: For those who have a car, it’s just a 7-minute drive to the main AECC campus.

2. Location

Nightlife and Entertainment

For many students, university life extends beyond the classroom. It's essential to consider the surrounding area for its nightlife, entertainment options, and cultural attractions.

Our AECC student accommodation is situated in the heart of the bustling seaside town of Bournemouth, filled with cafes, restaurants, and bars. Bournemouth is not your average sleepy seaside town! At night, the town is buzzing with great energy. There are many nightclubs and live music venues that students staying at Lulworth Student Accommodation will be able to enjoy.

Beach Life and Recreation

If you're a fan of beach activities or outdoor adventures, Bournemouth offers the best of both worlds. Just a short drive or bus ride away, our accommodations provide easy access to the beautiful beaches. As a health science specialist, it’s no surprise that AECC University College is big on health and well-being, so it’s likely you’ll enjoy the beach life, from its stunning coastal pathways to a quick coffee whilst soaking in vitamin D during the summer.
