Amazing institution
Everyone's nice but it's expensive
Nice campus, very green, facilities are decent overall. Student culture is very upper class.
Beautiful scenery on campus Student health centre took 3 weeks to reply to me
So I go to Exeter's Cornwall campus and if you've been to Cornwall you'd know how beautiful a place it is. it's nice to go to a university so close to beaches but there is only one downside which is just my opinion btw! the university is not diverse so as a POC you may not see people like you all the time but again there are societies you can join, plus the little time I've spent here I've not experienced anything negative because of my race. Overall it's a good university, the staff really want you to do your best and the university has resources that explains why it is a RG uni.
Nice looking campus, a good little city, lots of friendly lecturers
The university is very supportive to its students. Beautiful campus and lots of fun activities to do in the area.
There's so many activities and oppurtunities all the time- from careers fairs to bouncy obstacle courses! It's a lovely campus surrounded by a winning combo of greenery + beaches, with study spaces (+ cafes!) in every building. Staff and other students are always friendly and willing to help. There's a society for everyone, with weekly themed meet-ups and events. Roomy accommodation is definitely value for money (mine has a double bed, en-suite, and nice flatmates). We use an online platform for coursework, meaning if you miss a lecture due to illness, it's easily accessible later. All the resources you could need are available on there, along with an extensive digitised library.
Location is nice, though very hilly. Range of societies to meet people. Gym is well equipped, but busy.
Best- all the opportunities available, there's always some fair or event going on whether it be academic related or career etc. Worst- would be nice if there was a proper on-campus club
Best aspect - close to ocean and living in student accomodation Worst aspect - the campus doesn't have much going on
Streatham Campus is absolutely gorgeous! All the greenery gives it a relaxing atmosphere that can really help calm nerves. It is a bit hilly but nothing impossible (plus, you get some free exercise in) and everything is within walking distance (regarding both campus and the city in general). There are a lot of places to study, eat lunch or simply take a break (Reed Hall is a must see!). I am probably being a bit too positive in my review, but I've really like this first month here.
the societies are great
Great place to study in terms of flexibility, but I think more support can be provided for students in terms of retaking exams etc
Very beautiful campus, excellent student satisfaction. Good course content, great facilities for studying. Lots of opportunities for extracurricular activities, e.g. music, sport, hobby clubs. Very nice accomodation. Quite hilly, so walking to campus may take longer than you think.
The universities strive for sustainability really shows with how green the campus is. The way the university is laid out is decent with each walk from building to building never be boring. Personally I do enjoy my course even though getting around a day of lectures can be quite a trek. I understand that when the university was built the types of building there were very common, but it would be nice to see some sort of development or redesigning as the campus being composed of 70% bland brick can get boring and some buildings are just not appealing to the eye. For example, the central area being split by a road and not much more than a lot of grey steps.

This University is a wonderful place to study, the location is great as it is a short walk into the centre, and the campus is close by but also in an area that is not overflowing with cars or lacks parking spaces. The facilities are brilliant as I am learning a lot here with the various teaching methods available. I feel very comfortable here and looking forward to completing the course. Improvements could be the sports clubs and societies being shared over the two campuses in Exeter as there would need to be a lot of travelling. As many students are studying, there are strains on the timetable, however, there are many long breaks that can influence the travelling of some students, parking and public transport. There is only one cafe at St Luke's, so if there are long breaks, there is not much around to do, especially if that cafe is full. Maybe some more chilling areas, or activities to do within the day?
I am enjoying the course with the varied amount of subjects and content; the course is taught in class with occasional online hours with a lecturer, otherwise, it is independent study time. The amount of hours is good as it allows the full development of skills and knowledge throughout the years. Many different lecturers give another viewpoint and their knowledge and experiences can be utilised and applied to our learning. The worst aspect would be the timetable breaks, the timetable showing lesson times but not the breaks, so it can be confusing to when a lesson finishes before the next one but also if there is a brief break.
