Well i've been to plymouth loads. And the only thing close to a beach there is the Hoe Lighthouse and that's just rocks.
Here's a pic.

From friends, I've heard Bournemouth Uni (and the surrounding area) is better. I know someone who went to Plymouth Uni and don't really like it.

Ooooh... you've changed the title of thread to include Southampton now - I cannot recommend this enough! Someone who used to come on this forum (Sol)
goes to So'ton and he loves it there. Such a good Uni, one of the best and very fun. He also lives in Plymouth so knows about that
University and doesn't really like it.
Good luck making the choice

What course? They're all pretty good unis so it's probably best to choose based on the area you like best.

Academically - Southampton (if you mean the University of Southampton, and not Solent) is definitely the best. It's one of the top
20 Universities, and is part of the research Russell Group which is a highly-regarded group of Universities that specialise in research. Bournemouth
isn't renowned academically (it's not bad or anything, just not famous for it). Though if you're doing a vocational subject, or something more
hands-on then Bournemouth will do it better than So'ton.
Locally - Both have their ups and downs. I know Bournemouth is meant to be one of the best-located Universities in the UK, so
obviously that tops So'ton. But thats not to say that So'ton is in a bad location. It's obviously closer to city life, but its worth bearing in
mind that it's a nice city.

This is exactly what i mean guys, I know so'ton is academically an excellent uni but i didnt get chance to look around the city properly...big
mistake i think. Bournemouth for location is beautiful, i loved it there and we stayed a couple of nights so got a good feel of the town itself,
though i know what you mean about uni wise it's a far cry from so'ton.
I'm doing nursing so maybe it's not as important??
Thank you again for all the comments, its helping me

Oh no, I can see the dilemma you have!!
Even So'ton surrounding area is really nice so I'm finding it hard giving a recommendation 
For Nursing, So'ton is best according to the Guardian Education supplement, listing it 6th!! So that might be a factor to take into place.

Go to where you think you will enjoy more!
If you get an excellent degree but have a horrible time - it wouldn't really be worth it.
Whereas if you get a good degree and have an awesome time - you'll look back on it happily!
If I were you, I'd choose Bournemouth. Remember, too, league tables don't mean much.

You're totally right Lauren, after much deliberation I have chosen B'mouth and Southampton as insurance. Hope I've made the right choice!!
Thanks for advice guys

If you're going to do nursing I deffo recommend Southampton, it's a good department (one of the best at the uni) and the university has a very good
reputation in general.
Plymouth I'd say is still a good choice for nursing, the uni is on the up in general as they have such a massive annual income.
Bournemouth I would avoid, it doesn't have a very good reputation and performs pretty badly overall in the league tables.
However if you're looknig for beaches, I'd suggest Bournemouth as Southampton doesn't have one either. But remember Cornwall is just down the road
from Plymouth so beaches are deffo not out of reach.
If I were in your situation I'd firm Southampton, put Plymouth as your insurance and ditch Bournemouth.

Oh no, i've already done it now. I did it a couple of days ago.
I ditched Plymouth (i've been somewhat put off it after reading some posts although I did initially like what i saw) but thats declined now so no can
do.
I put Bournemouth as my firm and Southampton as insurance.... and hope so much I've made the right choice.
It's been so difficult.
