Oxford Point, Bournemouth BH8 8GS

Loved our time here!! The staff are so lovely, always feel safe with 24/7 security. Facilities are nice and always clean. Rooms are nice! Any issues we had were always solved promptly. Will miss living here!!

What really stood out for me, though, was the accommodation team. I particularly liked the way they allowed my flat this year the booking and allocation process was super smooth, and they were brilliant about letting us sort our living situation exactly how we wanted. The staff are always friendly and quick to help if you have any issues. Definitely one of the best student accommodations in the area!

Oxford point is a wonderful place to live, I have been here for the past two years and have nothing but good to say about them! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming always the first to smile and say hi as you walk through the reception area. The events organised are fantastic with a nice range to cater for everyone! The communal areas are nice and clean and bright very welcoming to be in. The price isn’t bad considering it includes the use of all communal areas, the gym and all organised events. Location wise Oxford point is perfect for any BU student being located close to several university buildings and a short bus ride away from talbot campus, a short walk to both the beach and the town centre and surrounded by shops so easy to get your groceries! Overall I only have positive things to say about the accommodation.

Avoid at all cost, I stayed last year and could not recommend. The room wasn’t clean when I arrived and things were broken. My room was infested with silverfish to the point that I even found them in my bed! There was also black mould in my bathroom and around my window as there is no proper ventilation. Along with this the kitchen was infested with some sort of beetles and mould under the sinks. All of these issues were brushed off and blamed on us as a flat saying we were unclean and that it was our food which attracted the bugs. This was not the case at all and it was the damp and mould which was the issue. I was told these issues were normal and it wasn’t until my parents threatened to get the health department involved that they finally tried to resolve the issue. Also the doors don’t lock properly, which you are not informed of when moving in. You also get shown a show room that is in perfect condition and seems bigger than the room you actually get.

This accommodation is a complete disaster and a serious threat to anyone’s safety. My room was broken into because the staff themselves handed my key to a thief. Let that sink in — the people responsible for protecting residents gave my room key to a criminal. This is not a mistake. This is gross negligence of the highest level. Their incompetence is beyond anything I have ever seen. The team was slow, careless, dishonest, and showed zero understanding of the gravity of what happened. They treated the situation as if it were a minor issue, while their reckless actions allowed someone to walk into my room and steal my belongings. This is a place where your safety means absolutely nothing. If you are considering staying here, ask yourself one question: Are you willing to risk your security in a building where the staff can’t even protect your room from being accessed by strangers? Because that is exactly what happened to me. This accommodation has proven to be irresponsible, unprofessional, and completely untrustworthy. I strongly advise everyone to stay far away from
