I loved my undergrad at Exeter and came back to do my PGCE because I knew it was exactly right for me. The Campuses are beautiful and always have places to go to study/spend time. The academic and pastoral staff are all lovely and really care about their students. I have felt very academically supported by the university. The main limitation was the move to ELE2 and the general issues with the IT. IT is not Exeter's strongsuit. Its team is trying they're best but they are not miracle workers when facing a failing but somehow "new" system

I am enjoying my course greatly. I feel like I am being challenged without losing support. I like how they've structured the course to be more approachable for commuting students (a large portion of the class) without compromising content. Slightly irritated the 2 weeks of own design at th eend have been taken away, but I am very excited to be going into schools earlier. The facilities are well maintained by the university, with much of the teaching building being recently remodelled. The wider St Luke's campus sometimes feels a bit neglected in comparison to Streatham, limiting the wider study spaces etc

I loved my time in Cook Mews, it really helped shape my university experience. I met some of my best friends and the majority of my peer group across Cook and Lleweylln. I loved having the trains right out the window! The rooms were really spacious and had lots of storage and desk space. The communal kitchen and bathroom were cleaned by a professional every week on top of our own cleaning so it always felt hygienic. (I was a covid fresher and this really helped me feel confident and comfortable). The building did not have its own laundry room, so having to trek all the way to Birks was a struggle (There is something inherently undignified about having to walk 10 minutes to Birks Block A, which invovles crossing a main road, with a bag of your damp laundry. This for me was my worst rah/exetah moment as we were one of the cheapest accomodations basically being paraded to one of the more expensive catered halls) The staff were wonderful and I had lovely interactions with all of them. It was exactly what you paid for - cheap and cheerful that gets the job done. It is absolutely the right environment to make good friends and embrace the university lifestyle, without feeling the pressure of larger and more expensive accomodations. I would highly recommend this accomodation to anyone.

The University of Exeter is a warm and vibrant place to study, with beautiful campuses and supportive staff. Students enjoy the green spaces, modern facilities, and strong sense of community. However, there are a few things that could be improved. The two campuses are quite far apart, and since most events and activities happen on Streatham, St Luke’s can feel a bit quiet and overlooked. It would be great to have more shared events, better transport between campuses, and more activities hosted at St Luke’s. With these improvements, the university would feel even more connected and welcoming for everyone.

The courses at the University of Exeter are really engaging, but they can be quite tough at times. The lecturers and tutors are amazing because they are always supportive, easy to talk to, and ready to help whenever students get stuck. Even so, many of us feel that having a bit more learning time would make a big difference. Some modules move very quickly, so extra contact hours or more guided study sessions would help us keep up more comfortably. With more time to learn and ask questions, the course would feel more manageable and even more enjoyable.

My university hall is really close to the campus where I study, which is super convenient. The Residence Life team organizes lots of activities, although most of them usually happen at Streatham Campus. I hope to organize more events at my hall, Rowancroft Court, so that students here can join more easily. The support in the hall is very quick and helpful. For example, I recently got my broken lamp and bed replaced without any problems. Living here makes student life comfortable and convenient, and having more hall-based activities would make it even better.
