University of Exeter Accommodation: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 18 Reviews

On-campus housing is available but is noted to be expensive. Students have the option of different types of accommodations, such as sharing, studios, self-catered, and catered, with prices varying by type. Off-campus accommodations are suggested as more economical, with private accommodations closer to the city center providing convenience for grocery shopping and essentials.

On-campus en-suite rooms with shared kitchens cost approximately 170 GBP per week for 51 weeks, while studio options are around 700 GBP per month. Most rental contracts last at least six months, with extensions available. Booking in advance and in-person is necessary due to the difficulty in finding short-term rentals.

The facilities are modern and well-equipped, with spacious buildings featuring common rooms and fully stocked kitchens.

My University of Exeter Journey

Likes

The best part of my university alongside the perfect course structure & amazing faculty was the campus area (Streatham).
It was beautiful with a small pond & surrounded by trees from all sides.
I had so much fun & learned a lot throughout the year.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I chose to stay in university-managed accommodation, as it is convenient and well-suited for international students. I lived in an en-suite room at Lafrowda (Block S) on Streatham Campus, which was within walking distance of the Forum and my classes. I secured the accommodation through the University of Exeter's accommodation portal.
The rent was approximately £183 per week (around £790–£800 per month). The accommodation included a private bedroom and bathroom, shared kitchen facilities, Wi-Fi, utility bills, laundry facilities, and 24-hour support/security, providing a comfortable and safe living environment.

Review by Chetan

Likes

Faculty is top notch
Very diverse culture, truly International experience.
University dorms are clean, safe

Dislikes

Not many on campus career fairs
Accommodation rents are unfairly high when compared with the duration students stay.

Accommodation

Off Campus

Students can apply for on-campus dorms or private dorms. En suite flats cost a lot, shared apartments are fairly cheaper. Monthly cost would be around £1200-2000

University Accommodation or any other accommodation outside the university is really good. However, universities are relatively expensive compared to other institutions. You are looking at £ 500- £ 750 a month.

My experience as a student of History at Exeter university

Likes

Before I delve into what I personally liked and disliked as a student of History it is important to understand that people from different streams have different experiences at the University.
The faculty was very approachable and kind and they truly enriched my learning experience at the university.

Dislikes

The diversity was quite limited in my department but at no point did I feel that I did not belong there and the faculty often went an extra mile to help me feel more included. There are a lot of extra curricular activities to do there and you will be spoilt for options.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I was in student accommodation, and it was around 500-600 pounds back then. I had a studio to myself. Other than this, there is a common room that everyone can use.

My Master's at Uni of Exeter Review

Likes

Career Zone & Guidance: The university has a great career zone situated in a separate building wherein there are readily available mentors, CV review, Interview prep courses etc.
Academic Curriculum: The curriculum was just right and perfect to balance out a MSc student’s life with a perfect blend of theory and practical assignments. Assignments are super heavy and more in number making the topic easy to understand
Societies & Events: There are more than 13+ societies to participate with no cap! Each of them holding amazing events, programs especially for international students- a great way to network and make friends. Another great thing was the variety of societies and not just sticking to a single niche.

Dislikes

Transport: As the university is on a hilltop, it becomes difficult to travel back and fro to the city. There is a bus option but can be inconvenient at times.

My Master's experience @Exeter

Likes

Facilities like adapting to the accent webinars, free english courses, free events to get to know the places nearby.
Huge campus, all types of sports activities involved.
Enough resources to help you understand your course

Dislikes

Depending on the course teaching isn't great
Money goes to Russell group not your future progression or development.
Too overrated for this course.

The fact that there are no placements
Job situation in the UK which makes spending so much on the degree a moot point
