Animal Behaviour Studies degrees in Southern England

Best aspects - More coursework compared to sit exams so reduces the stress of revising, campus grounds are absolutely stunning, very good location (in countryside, but only 10 mins from Gloucester city centre, very good wellbeing/disability support. Worst aspects - On site accommodation is very expensive for the quality and maintenance are extremely slow at responding to the infinite issues in the blocks

The campus is absolutely beautiful, with lovely green spaces and impressive buildings that really create a great atmosphere for studying and hanging out with friends. The facilities are great, too. Plus, the student life here is vibrant, with tons of clubs and events that make it easy to meet people and get involved. However, there are some challenges. Financial support for students from working-class backgrounds can be quite limited, which can lead to stress and make it harder to fully participate in everything the university has to offer. Living in Exeter can also be pricey, with high rents and general costs adding to the financial burden. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but I’ve definitely enjoyed my time at Exeter!

While things have been difficult undertaking our clinical year during covid the staff have been very accommodating and have worked hard to still deliver as good of an experience as possible, so I am very grateful. I can imagine that when things return to normal it will be a first class experience.
