The penryn campus is lovely - it's small and busy meaning you usually bump into a friend you wasn't expecting to see. Being so close to the beach is amazing. It's not suited to anyone who wants loads of nightlife, clubbing and shopping. Ultimately we are in a old fishing town turned into a tourist destination. Loads of benefits of this like part-time work and fun activities such as hikes and beach trips etc.
Exeter is a great Uni to study at. There is so much for everyone to do in the area, close to beaches, and lovely walks. The sports teams and facilities are great. Student support could be better overall, but the student guild are great if you have any troubles with your course.
Good facilities to study, better one to one support for teaching.
Love the facility and modern equipment, also there really helpful student help desk.
The best is the facilities and student support provided
University of Exeter is a brilliant institution that allows for a plethora of growth and opportunities for students. Jobs, internships, and extracurricular activities are readily available, which helps promote the academic and professional development of career prospects. But with its tight-knit community, the University of Exeter can slip into the difficult position of cliques and statuses, where diversity begins to lack. Though, with its growing population of international students, the university is surely attempting to combat this issues with providing hands-on support and guidance for any and every!
Great fun prices could be cheaper at some student areas
Penryn campus is somewhat disconnected and transport is needed to get around but there's plenty available. Great feel to the area.
I am based in Cornwall, so can’t say the same for Streatham campus, but it is just such a gorgeous place so good for mindfulness- so much green space. I think it could be improved as the time it takes to contact the SU or the university is kind of long to get a response from

Being close to nature.
Nice location. Very estranged from Streatham campus so it would be good to stuff with them. Students union is rubbish compared to other unis. No events.
