The green spaces and connection to nature make it a charming place to study, however, the attitude of some staff and students can make it a bit uncomfortable at times. There's an attitude of hating studying and not being passionate about your subject. The student Union tries hard to improve this with events and week-long festivals for information. However, sometimes it still feels a little impersonal. I wish there was more open lectures to attend to understand what research is being held at the university. That being said, I have enjoyed my course and studying here, the facilities are a bit modern and can feel office-y but still accommodate everyone.

The best thing about my course is that it is unstructured and allows for full control of what you want to study and how to go about this. However, sometimes I feel like there could be a continuation of the foundation module done in the first year. It would be nice to have a continued broad understanding of the topic while also being allowed to choose what we want to do as well. A focus on how we can sell ourselves in Jobs that require more specialised degrees would also be helpful. I have really enjoyed the real-life-researcher approach to assessments and I hope they continue this.

It is really expensive for what you get. It's also a key part of how you meet people in your first year which can be frustrating if - like me - you don't care for parties and drinking. The laundry isn't included and the accommodation is often really far away from food shops. It is nice that it's guaranteed for the first year but its very limited in what it offers.

Exeter is a lovely city - student life is great if you enjoy the outdoors, sport, pubs, local culture, and the limited clubs we have here. It takes a bit of getting used to if you are from a large city. The Students' Guild has for a long time been a joke institution that has not only failed to reflect the concerns of said students but has actively worked against them. Fortunately, it seems to have improved a little this year and has introduced things like Money Week. Improving on last year's Guild is probably not such a big achievement, though, considering that they did literally nothing all-year except offer a couple of equivocal and vapid statements on the UCU strikes.

Ancient History is a enjoyable, engaging, and challenging course. The Classics department is, on the whole, extremely hardworking, supportive, friendly, and helpful. Unfortunately, the course does not offer any internships, but does help you develop important skills and experiences for the workplace. Tutor contact time has been minimal/non-existent for most of my time at Exeter.

Excellent safety and property management. We even had a support person from the University come round to ask how we were doing each week. Campus estate patrol were very vigilant and we felt quite safe. The location is ok. It's right next to the train station, but is off campus and therefore a bit socially isolated. The value for money is pretty poor. The accommodation was ok, but is fairly overpriced considering that it is off-campus and self-catered.
