Additionally, the students union holds many events with new things appearing on campus every day to keep things interesting. In terms of education, there is always extra support being advertised, and you can always receive extra help if required. The student life can sometimes feel repetitive, with Exeter being a smaller city, but this obviously isn’t something that the university themselves can improve.
The worst part is the hills, but the campus is beautiful and there's so much wellbeing support. There's lots of study spaces, and the New Lafrowda accommodation is very nice.
The teacher are friendly and helpful It takes a while to walking over the strap hill to the main campus( building (forum)
Great feel around campus, proper student life, slight lack of follow up on certain modules and a lot of procedures are a little over bureaucratic. Great student experience overall but can be improved in these areas.
Really nice area and good academic environment. Shops on campus are expensive and there aren't many budget food shops within walking distance from the university
Gorgeous campus, clear communication and innumerable support pathways. Study spaces are usually full if you want a big group around a table

Great campus, student support, easy to find everything, very helpful staff
it could have more creative study spaces
Student life is great so is the course societies are fun to join.
Good modern facilities Good field work opportunities Library is large and has good facilities but is often busy so it can be hard to find a space to work. Also library could do with more comfy seating.

There is lots of support for students, and the campus is very picturesque, but it is a bit far from the rest of the UK.
The best part is how beautiful the campus is The worst part is the building works happening outside my room
There is a lot of support for neuro divergent students and those with an ILP
The support and environment are great!
At Exeter there is a strong sense of inclusivity and community through a wide range of events and facilities such as the student guild. At exeter there has been a wide range of facilities that have benefitted me from sports to welfare departments. Studying at exeter there is also a very peacful atmosphere with the rural and fairly tranquil setting surrounded by greenery. There isnt too much that can be improved although sometimes the silent and quite study areas can be full during busy hours such as the afternoon often turning towards studying back in accommodation which is somewhere where less focus is achieved.
The variety and quality of societies at exeter are very high with many many trips and socials. One thing I do not like is how (at least in history) is how there are different people and places for seemingly every lecture which in a total of 400 taking the course makes it harder to know the people you are taking the course with
The best parts of my Uni experience so far have been the wide range of societies to try and participate in. Especially for music as this was something I wanted to continue at Uni. I also really love the area, being so close to the beach and the shops in the city are amazing. Whilst it’s not known for its nightlife, I’ve also enjoyed the clubbing scene at Exeter. There aren’t as many clubs as some major cities but the ones here have a range of events so there’s something for everyone! The only things I haven’t enjoyed as much is the facilities of my accommodation. It usually has a common room with a pool table which I was looking forward to using and meeting new people through but it’s closed at the moment because of the building work. I also found that student support for minor issues isn’t amazing, with my tutor not contacting me until a month in. However they have a good well being time and enquiries desk for more major issues.
I like the accomodation. The worst part is the walk to and from town.
