Student Moving Guide — Bournemouth University & AUB
Everything you need to know about moving in or out of BU and AUB halls — pickup windows, storage, combined loads and prices.
Halls move-in and move-out windows
BU and AUB give residents tight loading windows — usually 30–60 minutes outside the building. Book a slot with your residence life team before booking your van so the times line up.
What fits in a Luton
A standard halls room (bed, desk, chair, suitcases, kettle, mini-fridge) fits comfortably in a LWB van with a single helper. Two students combined fit in a Luton.
Combined loads
Splitting the van with a course-mate cuts the per-student cost in half. We run combined student loads from Wallisdown, Winton and Charminster every term-end. Ask when booking.
End-of-year storage
If you're going home for summer, storage is cheaper than a return trip. We can drop straight to a local storage unit and collect again in September.
London runs
If you're moving to a London uni next year, see our student moves Bournemouth to London page — combined loads from £180.
