The Cities of Bournemouth and Poole
Bournemouth has been a favourite holiday destination since Victorian times, owing to its fabulous beaches. Bournemouth Pier is the main attraction down on the shore after the beaches and there is plentiful opportunity to sample respite away from the tourist masses in the citys many lush parks and gardens. In addition, the shopping options are superb, while the nightlife features the theatre and endless pubs, bars and nightclubs.Presiding on the lovely Poole Harbour, nearby Poole offers much of the same as Bournemouth, yet at a more sedate pace.
Student Loans
Bournemouth University is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
