Amazing campus. So close to beaches like Exmouth and Dawlish so has lots of great places to visit nearby, and the quay is great to walk down to. Very good campus with good facilities and easy to find somewhere to sit and do some work. However, due to it's location in Exeter, Streatham Campus is quite far to walk from most student housing and the centre of town, and the hills don't help either. But this isn't a massive issue and is still a lovely place to study.

Lecturers are on the whole good, however occasionally there are a few that are a little more difficult. Most lecturers though are very easy to contact inside their contact hours, and provide easy directions and times for their offices. Due to Computer Science not being a prerequisite for the course, a few modules are catch-up for those who haven't studied it yet, so they can be a little slow and boring for the more experienced student. However, they catch-up fairly quick so it gets to a good level of difficulty soon after

Value for money is amazing, it is the cheapest halls at Exeter and definitely worth it if you want to save money and have a bog-standard room and flat. Location is ideal, being about 5 minutes from everything on the uni, but is a little bit longer to walk into town, being maybe 20-30 minutes. Safety is great with the estate patrol, however, we had a smashed window on our block for a few weeks before it was fixed last year. And Wi-Fi can struggle a little but is generally fine for everything you'd need it for

The University of Exeter is known for its beautiful campuses, strong academic reputation, and vibrant student life. Exeter consistently ranks highly in UK university league tables and is part of the prestigious Russell Group. Exeter is a relatively small city, which gives the university a close-knit community vibe. Students often comment on the friendly atmosphere both on and off-campus. With over 250 societies and sports clubs, students can easily find activities that suit their interests. Exeter can be quite expensive compared to other UK cities, especially in terms of accommodation. Exeter’s nightlife is more subdued compared to larger cities like Manchester or Birmingham. While there are pubs, bars, and a few clubs, some students feel the options are limited.

The Data Science program at the University of Exeter has some notable strengths and a few challenges. The program blends mathematics, computer science, and applied data science, providing a strong foundation in machine learning, AI, and statistical modelling. Many students appreciate the accessible IT and library facilities, with 90% reporting that subject-specific resources like software and datasets are readily available when needed. The course requires mastering a wide range of technical skills, including programming, statistical modeling, and ethical considerations in data science. While the option to pursue an industrial placement year is available, accessing and securing placements can be competitive.

Most halls are located within walking distance of classes, libraries, and the city center, making them very convenient for daily life. University-managed halls provide numerous opportunities for socialising through shared kitchens, common areas, and events organised by the Resident Life team, such as baking sessions and movie nights​. Some halls, such as Holland Hall, are known for being significantly more expensive, which has led to perceptions of class differences between residents of different halls. In some less expensive halls, like Lafrowda, students report noise and overcrowded facilities during busy times.
