Sort:Latest reviewsAmazing campus with a great sense of community. Nothing to be improved in my opinion.
People are friendly to international students, the campus is close to city centre.
Nice location, lots of foliage and forest.
The best is the course and field trips The worst is the location and student life
The best part is the sense of community not just within courses but the university as a whole, within different societies and accommodations. The less interesting part is the location, the city centre can be somewhat dangerous at times.

The penryn campus is lovely - it's small and busy meaning you usually bump into a friend you wasn't expecting to see. Being so close to the beach is amazing. It's not suited to anyone who wants loads of nightlife, clubbing and shopping. Ultimately we are in a old fishing town turned into a tourist destination. Loads of benefits of this like part-time work and fun activities such as hikes and beach trips etc.
Exeter is a great Uni to study at. There is so much for everyone to do in the area, close to beaches, and lovely walks. The sports teams and facilities are great. Student support could be better overall, but the student guild are great if you have any troubles with your course.
Good facilities to study, better one to one support for teaching.
Love the facility and modern equipment, also there really helpful student help desk.
The best is the facilities and student support provided
University of Exeter is a brilliant institution that allows for a plethora of growth and opportunities for students. Jobs, internships, and extracurricular activities are readily available, which helps promote the academic and professional development of career prospects. But with its tight-knit community, the University of Exeter can slip into the difficult position of cliques and statuses, where diversity begins to lack. Though, with its growing population of international students, the university is surely attempting to combat this issues with providing hands-on support and guidance for any and every!
Great fun prices could be cheaper at some student areas
Penryn campus is somewhat disconnected and transport is needed to get around but there's plenty available. Great feel to the area.
I am based in Cornwall, so can’t say the same for Streatham campus, but it is just such a gorgeous place so good for mindfulness- so much green space. I think it could be improved as the time it takes to contact the SU or the university is kind of long to get a response from

The university of Exeter has the nicest campus in the uk, with its green initiatives and environmental commitments it creates the perfect environment for study and extra curricular activities.
We get at least 3 hours of contact time per module per week. This is also accompanied by both online and in person office hours for lectures and tutors which means you have a lot of support available
Basic amenities were included and regular repairs and maintenance is done making issues such as faulty doors a quick fix 24 hours a day
