Sort:Latest reviewsFalmouth is amazing!! Wish I could stay longer but unfortunately graduating this year. The academic staffs are brilliant and it is such a laidback atmosphere on campus. The nightlife is not amazing but I enjoy visiting the pubs and also the student ‘Stannary’ bar that throws events on a regular basis, Annie Mac, has even performed it was really good! The fresher’s events back in first year were great for meeting new people and having fun getting to know each other.
For starters, do not worry about starting uni, the staff make it really easy and fun and everyone at Falmouth has come down here for a reason. It was weird starting without the Falmouth students, we started a week before, but I think that has been changed now so that’ll be nicer for everyone. Join societies and get involved as much as possible! You will make friends quickly and I am really glad I chose this campus especially for the great beaches!
I really do love going to uni down in Cornwall. There is a great course, great people and great scenery. The only drawback is the weather (in the winter), sports facilities and night life but it is a great uni and great place to study. Don’t come here if you are really wanting the city and clubbing scene and that’s not what you get here although you get pretty seaside and fresh air instead. Exeter is a top class institution to be part of.
This is a really really good university. The campus is good, modern and easy to get around. It is nice getting to know your neighbours. What is not to love about Cornwall? Everything is on our doorstep which is great. We have beaches, cliffs, great photo opportunities, everything is clean too. The uni is modern and has iMacs everywhere! I love my course, choose yours wisely and be really passionate about it; you will be studying it for three or more years.
My time at university has been good. I feel that I have really gained a lot of general life experience whilst being here and learnt a lot on my course. The lecturers are really amazing and they generally make the course. If I had to give a piece of advice to any new students it would be to, be yourself and do not care what other people think. Make yourself proud and enjoy every minute. I do not want my time here to finish and will defiantly be returning for the memories!
Pretty decent place, lots of hills, lots of trees, fair amount of sun and a fair amount of rain. WOuld recommend.
I had a negative experience of Exeter there were too many people in the lectures, people were sat on the floor and tutorials were 100 for one of my modules.My course was full, in my opinion and others was that they've sold out they want people filling all the places they have because of the tuition fees increase. I didn't understand something and because of the size there was never any chance of altering this. My accommodation was average the double room I was in was small and dark and cold. I and my room-mate ended up moving out. We weren't well matched and they don't think about who there putting together. The food however was amazing. The student union is very good and the choice of clubs and societies is amazing. The sports club nights out are great fun and memorable.
If you like the idea of a uni which is overcrowded, terrible night life, long queues for clubs, 95% rah populated and generally boring then this is the place for you. This was not for me so I withdrew. Otherwise the courses are good its educational and sports facilities are good and the accommodation is good.
It would be great if University will provide more employment opportunities for students during their studies
There are lots of opportunities to engage in activities which provide career development. Additionally, the lectures are usually engaging and enjoyable.
Well, what can I say? This is a great place to study. Lovely nature, nice campus with number of facilities, well-educated academic staff. Night life is quiet boring though.
Nice unio with great facillities and the variety of degrees especially at business school, nice location
A really good uni life, wide range of clubs and societies and very developed facilities. Quality of studying is on a high level too.
i'm the first year. the city is very small, but this helps to concentrate on studying a lot. Also the Uni encourages the self study. The Forum has everything a student needs.
University of Exeter is a great place to study.It has a great environment to study and it provides us many facilities.Also,there are enough entertainment in here to relief my pressure
University of Exeter is a great place to be if your main aim to is to get a good education. However, if your are in search of a fantastic night life then it is not the place to be. Overall, it has very good teaching foundation with amazing new built facilities for every need.
The university really is amazing. They really seem to care about the students. All the facilities have been upgraded including the New Forum. There is always somewhere quiet for you to work if you want it or you can go chat to your friends in their many lunch cafes. They put so much effort as well into making us favourable to potential employers, including the Exeter Award and their career zone. You can book yourself onto events like CV practice, application forms, interview practice or simply talk to an adviser. It's so easy to feel like wanting to learn here and everyone does seem to do really well. I also love the library! They are open 24 hours and you always see people in there working. They have a really good selection of books and if you want to read books from the other libraries (such as on St. Lukes) you can request it and it gets delivered, it's great. I plan on doing graduate entry medicine and I've been reading some books from the Health library. Although some people say the nightlife is limited, I disagree. There are some lovely bars and pubs in town where you can go with friends, or if you like clubs, everyone seems to go to Timepiece and Mosaic and all those clubs so its not bad at all. I personally think its good because I want to just do well on my course and many people here work hard so there aren't any big distractions yet you can still have a nice weekend to unwind. All in all, I would definitely recommend the university!
I like University of Exeter. It got lots of new facilities such as sports park and libraries for students. However, i think the tution fee and accomodation fee are quite expensive.
Exeter is an okay university. It's a nice enough place and the sport and the clubs and socieites are good. However, the size of the lectures and seminars is ridiculous. There is also a distinct lack of variety of students on campus, seeing wellies being worn in lectures was downright bemusing.In one lecture there was 400 people and the tutorials for this was 100 people, so there was no chance to ask questions or gain help.There was no way of gaining help and the lack of care of anything apart from squeezing people into lectures with people sitting on the floors seemed bad.The accommodation was alright, the food was amazing in the catered halls but I'd recommend self catered as you get better facilities and you don't get put into a twin room that really doesn't have enough space. There is also a lack of things in common between room-mates they don't consider who there putting together.The sport was good, with a wide range of choices and ability to join in with what ever you wanted.The student union is good a good laugh even if the floor becomes extremely sticky, I even lost a shoe! The student life is good not fantastic but then its not a massive place.

The university, for me, is the most enjoyable part. The refurbished parts on campus add to the university experience being that little bit better. The people on my course are great and the sport aspect is very enjoyable. Being able to push yourself more than ever. The lecturers are also passionate about what they teach. But the nightlife is quite an early night and has the potential to get boring here.
