Meet Bournemouth By Laura Court-Jones ver dreamt of living by the seaside? Some of you IMEM students might get the chance during your course to spend some time in Bournemouth, properly pronounced (Bornmuth). Bournemouth has a lot to offer student wise and is a vibrant city. For those of you who have never heard of this city, let me convince you that this is one of the biggest student hubs in the UK. Bournemouth sits along the south coast of the UK in-between Weymouth and Portsmouth, not to get too confused with all these ‘mouths’ but the south coast is something us English adore. The beaches might be pebbly and the sea might be below freezing, but you can always guarantee there will be a ‘fish n chips’ shop along the beachfront, pure heaven on a windy day and not to be missed. Things to do Like any student city, Bournemouth’s nightlife is buzzing every night. You can enjoy a pint at the local Pub in the city centre, chill at a jazz bar or get glammed up and go out, go crazy! Enjoy a relaxed evening with a great atmosphere at ’The Goat and Tricycle’ , their wide selection of real classic ales will leave you tipsy after a few pints. If you’re feeling hungry they even have real goat curry on the menu! Along with other ‘pubgrub’ classics such as scampi and chips and bangers and mash. Yum. If you’re feeling more like partying, then head to ‘Le Chic’ Bournemouth’s new stylish club. With 3D wallpaper and colour changing furniture, your night will be one colourful blur. Get in touch with nature at ‘The Lower Garden’s’ Only a five minute walk from the city centre, the open grass and pristine flower gardens make the perfect spot to have a weekend picnic. With various events on throughout the year, this park is the ultimate chill zone. Now, this is just a taste of Bournemouth! I know those of you who visit will be busy studying hard, but take a few hours out and go and explore further. It really will be worth your time. images: : http://www.bournemouth.co.uk/ 49 Interior_Brewed_Oktober2014.indd 49 22-10-14 12:12
