University life is not only about lectures and deadlines. Finding somewhere comfortable to study, meet people and unwind can make a huge difference - particularly when you are new to Bournemouth. That is exactly where the new Student Hub at BOMO House comes in.
Created as a dedicated space for Bournemouth’s student community, the Hub combines practical study facilities with games, food, social events and plenty of opportunities to meet new people. Best of all, annual membership is completely free.
When the library is busy or you simply need a change of scene, the Student Hub offers another central place to open the laptop and get some work done.
Members have access to free Wi-Fi and dedicated study space, making it a useful option for tackling assignments, preparing for seminars or filling the gap between lectures. Free tea and coffee should make those longer study sessions a little easier too.
The Hub is designed to be much more than a workspace. Students can meet friends, grab something to eat or drink and spend time together without needing to plan a full day or night out.
Its town-centre location makes it a convenient meeting point, whether you have a spare hour between lectures, want somewhere to catch up after class or need a base before heading elsewhere in Bournemouth.
All work and no play is rarely the best formula for university life. The Student Hub has a pool table, football table, beer pong, retro computer games and a big screen, offering plenty of ways to switch off once the studying is done.
It gives the space a relaxed, informal atmosphere where students can stay for a game, join friends or simply hang out without everything revolving around coursework.
Managing money is an unavoidable part of student life, so exclusive food and drink offers are another welcome feature.
Members will be able to access student deals at BOMO House, alongside giveaways and competitions. That could make the Hub particularly handy for inexpensive meet-ups, casual meals and spontaneous evenings with friends.
Moving to a new town can feel exciting and slightly daunting in equal measure. Although freshers’ events and university societies offer plenty of introductions, having a regular place where students can meet naturally could make forming new friendships easier.
The Student Hub plans to host meet-ups, events and activities throughout the year, creating opportunities to connect with people beyond courses, halls and existing friendship groups.
It is intended to be shaped by its members too, allowing Bournemouth’s students to influence the events, content and experiences offered as the community develops.
Perhaps the biggest reason to give the Hub a try is that annual membership costs nothing.
Members receive access to the study facilities, Wi-Fi, tea and coffee, games, events, competitions, offers and future meet-ups without paying a membership fee. Whether you use it regularly or simply want another option in the town centre, signing up gives you the flexibility to drop in when it suits you.
The Student Hub is based at BOMO House, 2 Dean Park Crescent, Bournemouth BH1 1HL.
Free annual membership is available online at thestudenthub.uk.
With study space, social events, games and student offers brought together under one roof, the new Hub could quickly become a useful part of university life in Bournemouth.
