Beautiful place to study. St Luke's campus is gorgeous. I absolutely adore the 24/7 library as it makes studying so easy at all times of the week. The uni accomodation is a little bog standard. However the student support and encouragement in socials is great
Exeter is a great place to study - the campus is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful green spaces everywhere. The student accommodation is of a really high standard, and my professors and tutors are really friendly and keen to help. The student guild are also really active; there’s loads of great societies to join and great guidance available. The library is quite small however with not many computer spaces for students without laptops, and the access team (who deal with academic queries) are very slow at responding (and sometimes won’t respond at all).

Best - location is ideal for my course since there is lots of accessible geology in Cornwall. Improvements - more student events could be organised by the SU
It's a great place to study because of the campus and the facilities that are available, such as the library and cafes.
I think the campus and uni is great it has great facilities, lots of places to eat and study and I love my course. However I think the uni need to do more to support students on their years abroad
The community of students is really fab and welcoming. The professors are really helpful and teaching is intriguing. Student support is great, epically the technology sector, which I have made use of a lot.
I think the lectures are very insightful
There are so many facilities all around campus, such as the 3-level library, cafes, Starbucks, and Pret which makes the campus a convenient and comfortable place to study, socialise, and spend time between lectures. I also like how there are millions of societies to choose from, which is a great place to socialise and find friends with the same hobbies and interests as you. What I don't like about uni is how busy the library gets, even with 3 floors of a study space, its always jam-packed with no seats left so its difficult to find a nice study space. What I also found hard during my uni experience so far is managing money, as during my last week before we break up for christmas, i was living off 5 pounds for that week, which was not good. What makes a great place to study - is that the lighting must be dim, but not too dark yk so its not bright to the point its blinding you, there needs to be sockets all around, a water fountain, vending machines, coffee shops/marketplace near by for snacks, comfy chairs and a big desk to work on.
The campus and city are ideal, there aren’t any obvious improvements to be made.
The university is amazing, I love the greenery on campus and around the city. The university campus itself is a lovely mix of modern and classic buildings. Student and career support is very good, and highlighted everywhere. The only problem that I have encountered is the accommodation, the accommodation selection and offer process is really not good, with lots of people ending up unhappy with their accommodations. However, the university is still amazing.
Exeter's campus has some very nice aspects - eg., the natural spaces, ponds, and so on. However, there is a lot of wastage and inefficiency in the name of technological progress. The campus is covered in TVs which just show one power point slide - those could have been posters. The gym's electronic barriers are constantly breaking, and more trouble than they're worth. Some of the Student Societies here are great, but the Students Guild can be a very bureaucratic and cumbersome organisation.
The course is very interesting and well structured. I really like the campus and facilities
Not very diverse but the student support and the wellbeing team is very good
It's a good uni, close to the city centre and with good transport links for further afield. Not much space to study on campus, as the library is just full of the same people leaving their stuff at desks all day, then going off to do other things, like going to lectures. Most of the other study spaces on campus are coffee shops. Teaching is hit or miss, depending on the lecturer, but mostly ok. Sports facilities are pretty decent.
A very green campus and good facilities
Most beautiful location as Falmouth is a fantastic student town and living by the beach is so beautiful! The quality of teaching and dedication of lecturers is incredible and the campus itself is a great place to do work.
The lecture halls are well equipped, ensuring adequate space for all; this is also seen in smaller groups and rooms during seminars and tutorials. Help with careers and CVs is also available at Exeter University if the students wish to reach out.
I have no improvements, its perfect!

There’s always events going on so the university feels alive Facilities like the market, library, and laboratories are state of the art and make student living and learning much easier
The course is challenging but lecturers are clear, helpful, and engaging so the content feels manageable Sometimes some of the content contains more information or diagrams than necessary - can make catching up more difficult than needs be
