Education postgraduate degrees in Exeter

The location is fantastic. Plymouth is a beautiful city with decent nightlife and you can easily get on a train or a cheap bus and travel in any direction and enjoy the most beautiful coast and countryside. The main campus is nice, albeit mostly grey concrete with some ugly modern art thrown in. There isn't as much greenery as other universities and some of the facilities aren't great but the good ones are really modern, really colourful and very comfortable. The lecturers are nice people and some of their classes are really interesting and involving. The Student Union organises all sorts of events celebrating different cultures and in the bar there are drinks for a reasonable price, themed discos and a pub quiz every Sunday, all very enjoyable. There are lots of sports clubs and different societies to join and they're generally very welcoming.

Exeter has a nice environment and quite a few well eqquipped study spaces, however I feel like some of the room formats arent handled too well for eg the space near the terrace in the forum building. In terms of the staff most of them are very accomodating however I feel that they can be more responsive and open to feedback : for example i recently contacted the ucas agent in the uni and although they've been active during other meetings, they have yet to return my message. In terms of accepting critism, i feel that the staff can sometimes get a tad defensive ( of course this is natural to student behavior ) but when we are talking about student union affairs, i find it hard to see the point of it existing when the response we get from submitting feedback can be summarised into one sentence, "That's just how it is, its not really our problem and nothings going to change". Internet at this university should also be improved. Other than that, not many complaints. this is still a nice place with a quite friendly community.
