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.
