The campus is amazing; you get to enjoy all the new facilities in the bread-new buildings and classroms. On top of that, sport is a great part of a student's life here; we have an amazing Sports Park, which was built just last year as well as the leisure centre with a swimming pool in the second campus, 20 mins away from the main one. Accommodation quality varies from halls to halls, although the overall impressions are quite satisfying. You can easily get to the city centre in 15 mins by feet. City of Exeter is not big but you can find anything you want from shopping centres, riverside to nightclubs.
I generally love the facilities that the university provides, thought I am not too satisfies with social life of the city.
University of Exeter has excellent facilities, such as Forum library, new sports park. All classrooms and LTs in the University are provided with modern technology. The buildings of the university are combined: old style and modern. For example, the INTO building and Forum have an extraordinary architecture. The social life is not as good as i expected. Night life is middling. However, the city is very beautiful, green and hill, lots of places to walk around.
I tend to enjoy my time in the University of Exeter.Studying and sport facilities sufficiently provide me with all the necessary prerequisites to develop myself in many aspects of life.
Personally, I am satisfied with the quality of teaching, facilities and social life in the University of Exeter. Teachers are always happy to help if you have any questions. Lectures are interesting and teachers provide you only with useful information. The premises have all the facilities possible, for example, I enjoy studying in the Forum library very much. As for teachers' feedback, it is quite helpful but the tutorials are rather short and sometimes there is not enough time to ask questions. Accommodation is clean and pleasant, there is a takeaway shop and laundrette, which is convenient. Moreover, there is a bus stop nearby, so it is easy to get either to the city centre or to the university. However, fire alarms happen fairly often, which is annoying, especially in the morning. On the whole, I would say that I enjoy my time studying here and try to obtain all experience possible.
University of Exeter is probably one of the best place to study in UK. It has a really nice and beautiful campus with high varieties of uni facilities. The lectures are amazing, you feel that you're studding something that gonna be useful and all staff are really helpful. The location is good for uni, coz the city is not that big to disturb you from the studies, but it has everything that you need clubs shops and etc. I will highly recommend that uni
The University of Exeter is a really good place to study. There are a lot of opportunities offered in the University like language courses, career advice services and many different societies. The University is not very old and it takes full advantage of it being in the process of continuous development investing in the infrastructure (the new buildings built recently: Forum area and Sports Park), everything's fully equipped with modern and sophisticated equipment. The University staff is also of high level. And the programmes structure is very student-friendly. It also offers a wide range of programmes to choose from, some of which are very flexible.
The town, while reasonably nice to look at, is immeasurably dull. Seriously, there is nothing to do. Unless you can live with having nothing of interest within, literally, fifty miles, you should go elsewhere. As for nightlife, if you aren't into cheese, there is very little to do. A noble mention however, for the Cavern, which specialises in Indy and alternative nights.The university itself fails to improve the situation. The union is, frankly, poor. Two bars, and the god-awful "Lemmy". To imagine the true horror of the Lemmy, imagine the sort of clubs you could sneak into when you were 15, and then add the students. There is, however, a good selection of societies and sports clubs to get involved in, with something for everyone, so it isn't all negative.And onto the students. The majority, whatever the propagandists try to spin, are still white middle-class and private schools are over-represented. Although I had heard a bit about this, I really didn't realise how bad it was. Obviously this is not the recipe for a well-balanced and easy to like student population. Yes, there are a lot of sloans and green wellies. The university has done little to address this problem and make itself more inclusive. The uni accommodation's OK, not great, but certainly not terrible, although a really large percentage of rooms are catered, so you get school dinner type meals, three times a day, every day!! The guild's pretty useful.
This is my first year in the Uni so I do not have anything bad to say yet! I love almost everything about this place, people are amazing, acomodation is good (especially in comparison with school), lectures and seminars are interesting and fun. I am just enjoing my life here!
overall exeter is lovely city for studying, it will take about 15 minutes to from university to city center. The number of modern accommodations just on the campus! it's really amazing ! I can wake up just in half an hour before classes that is quite important for me
The city is very small. It is nice in the sense that everything is walking distance but there is only 3 night clubs in town and one on campus. This creates a quite boring night life...The uni has nice lecture rooms, impressive IT equipment and a massive sports complex which is nice. I (personally) don't like my course since I'm not really interested in it even though most of the lecturers are ok. I would say I have one very good lecturer, one good (always has guest speakers which is nice), three ok and one very bad. Also, having chosen my two optional modules during the first term I have 16 or 19 hours of class a week (depending on which week) and will only have 5 next term...Otherwise, my accommodation (Rowe House in Lafrowda Halls) is nice. The only "special" thing is that there is no separation between the shower and the toilet (no curtain) and the damp has problems going away.Overall, I am very happy with the people I've met at uni so far but not so happy with the rest.
i love the university especially the opportunities all student have after graduation since its one of the top universities in the UK. Good facilities to study and the overall environment are student friendly.
University of exeter has new modern accommodation in a campus, so it will take may be ten minutes to go for you lectures. As for societies and student life, Exeter is really nice place to find friends and clubs of your interests. In september 2013 the new Sports park was opened and it is really great place to train. There not so much night clubs in Exeter, but if you want to have a fun - you will !
The perfect place for getting an extremely prestigious high education! Great step for your future career as after graduation from University of Exeter all doors of giant and successful companies will be opened for you! I just enjoy each day of my University Life here.
Very professional lecturers and academic staff, high educational standards, good correlation of independent learning and guided lectures, lots of employability sessions with famous international companies, academic resources are great, well-operating library complex, nice sports park and gym, very technological campus, wide choice of courses and lectures, lots of places to study, high league tables position, overall: very good university with great opportunities for self-development
Really great university ! Everything for your studying, 24/7 library, modern facilities, great collection of books, very friendly teachers and a lot of societies for everybody's interest.
The uni itself is good and its fulfilling my initial expectations. I live in the catered hall. The food is generally nice and I enjoy the offered variety of choice. The student life is good, society membership enriches your life and add some extra fun activities. As for the academical part, all lectures are good. Lecturers try to be precise and clear, but sometimes I feel like the lecturer does not spend enough time on some important parts.
My course is goos and its fulfilling my expectations. All modules that I'm doing are precise and clear, but sometimes I feel that the lecturer passes a very important bits of information very quickly. As for my accommodation, I'm very happy about it, I've met new friends, food in catered halls is nice and I enjoy the variety of choice. The university facilities are great, the library, career zone are very helpful.
The university of Exeter is really amazing place to study here. First of all, facilities for study are brilliant, you can get everything you have ever wished such as high quality of teaching, high technologies, modern buildings (especially our proud - great Forum), beautiful campus, active student life, clubs and societies, etc. Moreover, I have flexible timetable of lectures, as studying process is focused on the self study, which is important for students, in my view, as it doesn't make us exhausted.

I am a first year student and currently do a degree in BA International Relations. When i came here to study this degree i could not even imagine how hard it will be to adapt to the required reading of specific literature. Back in Russia, i used to participate in all in-class debates and elaborate good level of communicative skills. Simply saying, i used to be one among the best students. I have been studying English properly for two years and when i came to Exeter i realised that the level of English was far from being advanced. This fact has been influencing me and made me feel uncomfortably because i simply could not participate in discussions on the same level as native speakers could. For thousands times i have been locked in my room along with reading for seminars and for essays. Even, taking into account the time that i have been spending on reading, i still feel lack of communicative skills. I feel myself a stranger in class among all native speakers. But you know what? I said "speak out", everyone here understands that you do extra work. Once i came to my tutor, crying, but she said to me that i have to be proud that i am putting a lot of efforts in studying. Foreign students have to participate in seminars and feel free to speak out, without being embarrassed. The University of Exeter builds your confidence. Students build friendly relationships with each other and academic stuff always here to support you. They believe in you, so should you believe in yourself.
