University of Exeter Reviews

Finished my three year undergrad at Exeter this summer and I miss it so much! I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to come to this Uni. The campus has got a luxurious vegetation and is nice to walk around, the town is reasonably sized (not too little I promise) and full of nice coffee shop and weekly events (at the Phoenix, or Thursday's Farmer's market near the cathedral for example). Nightlife is getting better and better and great artists&dj s now come very regularly to Exeter! Also each year 's freshers' week were full of interesting activities to take part in (Satursday's freshers fair is crazy packed tho). To conclude I miss it so much I cannot but recommend that you go and have a look for yourself ! I remember walking back from campus in the evening with an incredible sky and such a picturesque scenery as well as bird's singing. You won't regret it!

Love the uni here there are plenty of clubs and societies but given its position as sporting uni it can be difficult to get into some sports

This university seriously needs to pay for its OWN free shuttle bus to and from town for students. D bus is unreliable and is often slowed down by non uni passengers making people late for lectures. More shelters outside when raining would also be useful. Sports facilities need to be cheaper given the price of the fees we pay to study at university, and would certainly encourage students to take on healthier lifestyle. There needs to be more dedicated study spaces and less 'deliberately' overpriced on campus food that milks students. Please stop people walking their dogs on campus because some of them don't pick up their dog poo.

I have just completed my first year at Exeter University and I absolutely loved it. Campus/Facilities: I stayed in the St. Germans (sometimes called just Rowe house but they're not the same!) and literally could not have asked for better. I heard that they're going to tear St Germans down to build more blocks like Lafrowda :( i guess its not cost-efficient to have 36 ppl in a block, with 6 ppl per flat with double beds, en-suite, big kitchen + a nice living room area w bean bags in each flat! But it was nice for us at least so get in while you can. Gym is also new and super fresh, it can get quite busy but there are a lot of different cardio machines and stuff so its usually fine. actual campus is also nice and modern. Club/societies: there is smt for everyone, so def get involved in at least one or two, makes the year a lot of fun and you always have events to look forward to throughout the year, exeter is quite a small town after all so you need to spice your life up a bit!

Campus is alright but one thing to take note is the steep hill sometimes making it hard for students especially raining day

I’ve spent some of the best years of my life here!

Some staff are dedicated to helping you.. however, others make up their own teaching and referencing styles so you can never do it correctly! This is done by a few of my lecturers which all make up their own styles.. therefore it's affecting my grades. I have tried speaking to various people and staff about this but supposedly Exeter university all stick to one referencing style - so either way you can't win.

Truly dedicated Staff and professors plus a wonderful environment!

I am so glad with my choice of Exeter! The facilities are great, and there are so many social and academic spaces on campus! I love it!

Fantastic uni in beautiful settings in Devon

Fantastic university, which holds and develops the brightest minds.

I moved to Exeter from another Russell Group university and I have nothing but praise for Exeter. The university has been a great support to me in my studies and the support provided for mental health is exceptional. The campus is simply incredible and a very relaxing place to spend time even during stressful exam season. There is a great range of societies on offer and there is a very friendly atmosphere on campus. Lectures are excellent and some of the staff are internationally renowned experts in their field (I study Law). My only wish would be for a more diverse student body. The decision I made to move to Exeter was the best decision of my life, please don't hesitate to visit!

Awesome uni to study at with some lovely people. Unreal campus and facilities.

Unreal student experience. Quality teaching. Lovely people, staff and students. Just an incredible place to study.

Very satisified with exeter uni. Great staff and people, and also easy to have a great social life in addition to focusing on the academics

Incredible campus, such a beautiful working environment! Student Guild staff are generally very helpful, certain members are especially. The university itself is a mixed bag - certain professors are exceptionally passionate, dedicated and considerate to their students, whereas others are clearly more concerned with their own ego than the welfare and progression of their students. The overall feel of the university is extremely bureaucratic and gives the impression that it’s primary focus is to be ran as a business for making money and boosting the reputation of its senior staff members and not the students under its care.

pretty good all around, awesome city and campus and great lecturers and labs

10/10, hands down best year of my life.

Couldnt have asked for a better university, the campus spirit is like a family! Everyone loves it here. Would not change anything.

Perfect, flawless, wow, enjoyable

The university of Exeter has achieved the right balance of high-tec modern buildings and old, classy ones. The gardens around Reed Hall are stunning as are many of the other green places around campus. The society scene is vibrant and diverse and you really get a feel for Exeter’s ‘bleed green’ culture.

Our campus is absolutely stunning and I have all the resources I need!! The WiFi sometimes has blips but that’s not something I can expect to be perfect

I met the most Incredible people and had the best time with all the Societies I joined, especially the scandic soc

The best years of my life have been spent here

Such an incredible place to learn would recommend to anyone!

Where to start? Best experience imaginable! Amazing people, lectures, course content and support, never a dull moment (and even if there was that would be because you didnt make an effort to engage in the uni!)! I don’t want to leave

Absolutely Peng would uni again

Pretty spectacular university in my opinion

The Cornwall campus feels like it’s trying to be a mini main campus when really it should be celebrating all the things it has (the beach, Cornish countryside, pasties, etc) that main campus doesn’t

I studied History at the University, and worked at the Exeter campus for two years after graduation.The courses are of high quality, and the University is able to retain a high number of world-leading academics. The courses are well designed and stretch your ability. Many of the History modules were structured around the lecturer's current research, and this is the same in many programmes. The campus is lovely, very green, and with lots of facilities. Exeter city is big enough for a University town, and is in a perfect location for the Coast, Dartmoor and not too far from Bristol. Having worked at the University, I have seen how dedicated staff members are, and a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes that students don't see. There are hundreds of student societies, and volunteer groups - honestly, and cater to a wide range of audiences. Exeter has a middle-class reputation, but there is much more than this.

Great course, great town, great atmosphere abd helpful staff

Absolutely incredible first year, students and staff alike were so helpful and friendly. The amount of societies and clubs on offer means there is something for everyone.

I have just finished first year in Exeter and have felt so welcomed. Whether it's academics, sport or social life I couldn't ask for anything better.

I couldn’t have asked for a better first year at Exeter, and I look forward to seeing what the next 2 years hold!

Excellen joihczafjmnb tuokadv gio,bàn

Highest tree to student ratio, what more can you say? Brilliant campus, nice and friendly staff

Peng ting uni, 10/10 would degree again

The campus is amazing, people are all fantastically friendly and the societies are top class

The best university in the southwest

The campus is gorgeous, there's tones of seating space, there's a million places to get food, and the library has every book ever. Everything is new. 11/10

Exeter offers competitive and rigorous courses that are relevant to the real world and I feel that the skills I have acquired will benefit me dramatically in the future. The career zone offers great support with 1:1 meetings and reviews on CVs, Application and advice on the interview process for jobs; this helped me get my first work experience placement during the Easter holidays. The campus is very green and modern, the town offers great amenities and it’s not too far from the beach! I’ve had a great time.

If you want a Uni full of rich Southerners who view themselves as superior to everyone else, then this is for you. Going to this uni genuinely ruined my life.

I could not imagine going to another University. Exeter has everything, beautiful campus, nice city, near the seaside. Very organized and well run. Spend a lot of efforts helping students find a job when the graduate. Incredible facilities, and one of the best sports complex of any university in the U.K.

Racist uni. Most of the Reviews are fake and written by the Uni themselves

Racist students. I’d stay away from here. Only action is taken if news gets out to media

Great University, beautiful campus, and dedicated teaching staff.

Arguably one of the most beautiful campus's in the world, amazing energy and great friends for life.

Great Campus and Library. I enjoyed my experience.

Probably the best university in the world I f****** love Exeter

I like my university and I like learning,

I loved Exeter, ha I'm probably biased I've only been there but having visited other friends at their unis I felt lucky to go home to Exeter. Its such a nice campus and everyone knows everyone. The city is small b and the night life isn't so good but it does mean that when you're out everyone is there, like one big family.

Wonderful campus and the Forum Is very good, good eateries etc. Teaching is no better than your average University despite what you may hear! Exeter it's self is a lovely historic city, lovely Quay area. Lots of places to eat. Plenty of bars/pubs. Good shopping centre.

library is 24/7, The campus is beautiful and spacious. The campus forum is in a central location. There is also a student pub, Costa, Pret and natwest on campus which is really convenient. Very wide range of sporting and social clubs available, many of the sporting clubs compete to a high standard. Lots of career help and advice available as well as student buisness partnerships if you're interested in obtaining some. There is free wifi all over campus too. The only negative is a small lack of diversity in food choices but thats more Exeter in general rather than just the univeristy.

Nice new campus; societies could be promoted better though

Very good environment and the blend of modern and nature. Lots of clubs to choose from, no one will be left out. Really. Sports facilities are fantastic and cant wait for the new heated pool coming this summer 2017!

Saying this university has third world standards in all facilities is an understatrement. Horrible place indeed!

I went to Exeter 2012-15. Had a fantastic time in the city. It has earnt its rah image but there's no shortage of good people either. I was in lgbt soc and joined AU jiu Jitsu. Managed to live pretty close to campus - both 2nd and 3rd in mount pleasant area.

A nice campus, very green, nice people, nice atmosphere and great facilities

Wi-Fi is rubbish in accommodation

Everything is great about Exeter, haven't had any complaints to date

The campus is really pretty and people are really lovely. Toby, Alec, Tristan, and Harry are leading the Student Guild really well!

The forum is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, everywhere is beautiful just be prepared for hills.

All good so far. As expected. Easy to get about

Penryn Campus, part of the University of Exeter offers amazing facilities and services on a small campus which has a friendly and great feel about it... not to mention the amazing location!!

I like my campus. It's green. The lack of diversity is worrying though

Friendly atmosphere and loads of great stuff happening

Top amazing university to go to.

Campus facilties and societies are varied, and whatever you do, it'll be here.

Internet keeps turning off when using it. Campus is beautiful. Buildings - except physics, which is an eyesore - are all new, and really nice looking. The union doesn't have anything to do with me. It's too concerned about ethnic minorities and diversity. I feel very unwelcome as a white male. Failing to allow the economics society to form, and closing down the music school, was unforgivable. The clubs and societies are reasonably diverse, but the music school is not very good. It doesn't encourage people to play, and Kay House two miles away, too far to carry instruments. There are a lot of societies, but most of them aren't worth a damn. They aren't much interesting.

Probably the best university in the world.

Uni Wifi is painfully temperamental, can take 20mins to finally get signed in.

Amazing uni! Only been here two weeks but I already feel settled in. Like a home away from home

Beautiful, green, big, friendly, smart, new!

I've had no problems so far, and when you do there's a great support network lined up to help. The campus isn't too big but is filled with lots of green space so your walk in is quite scenic. The Forum has pretty much everything you need with banks, shops and eateries in a modern looking building.

Beautiful campus, amazing and wide socials, friendly people and enthusiastic lecturers! Most consistent and reliable uni I've seen

Internet sometimes drops out. Facilities are new, easily accessible & have everything you need without stepping off campus.

If you want to come to a lively atmosphere that not only focuses on your education as well as your enjoyment, this is the uni for you.

very nice campus, clean tidy and very friendly

Love this campus - its so green with trees everywhere, its not too far from the city and has good transport links. The hills surrounding the campus are hardwork but great for your fitness levels! Excellent sports facilities and very supportive SU and Careers Team.

great university- a very pleasant campus!

Wonderful university. Very well run and managed, not to mention the most beautiful campus in the U.K.

Very modern and student-friendly! competent and efficient staff

the BEST university in the world. Especially Penryn Campus.

Just finished my first year at Exeter, has been the best year of my life, despite the weather, Exeter is a lovely place to study and live, the campus feels so alive and have met so many wonderful friends. Socities are excellent as are facilities throughout the uni. So glad I turned down UCL & KCL!

Exeter is the best university. Almost went to Oxford and so glad I didn't, absolutely could not be happier!

Great place to study and have fun!

Exeter was the best University I could have wished for. The campus is beautiful, the teaching is excellent and the people made my University experience unlike no other. I'm so sad that I'm graduating as I had the best three years of my life here. I would recommend the University to anyone.

Exeter university is probably the best in the world

So glad I chose Exeter after my first year and already dreading leaving when I graduate. It has everything you could want in a university in a city with everything you could need within walking distance. Amazing campus and amazing people.

Having completed my first year at UoE, I am extremely happy with the University! This includes the campus facilities, teaching and social life. Come to Exeter!

Lovely campus. Very green. Great lecturers. Great city. Nice location. Great societies.

Possibly the best uni in the world

Great uni and student experience

I have found Exeter to be the perfect university for me. Academically, tutors care about you and know you as an individual, and the standard of teaching is superb. Socially, the student union organise brilliant events and everyone at the university is friendly. The atmosphere is lovely, the facilities are great, and I shall treasure every moment at this university.

Exeter has great facilities, such a relaxing environment with opportunities everywhere!

Best year of my life! Amazing university!

Amazing uni, my course is great and the experience so far couldn't be better. Well done Exeter

I'm going into my third year at Exeter and have had the time of my life.

Amazing lecturers and beautiful campus.

An incredible university, both academically and from a personal development perspective.

The facilities in Exeter are unbelievable, great study spaces, loads of places to grab some food and fantastic for sport. The societies are so welcoming and incredibly inclusive. With a huge variety, they cater for everyone and there are always opportunities to get involved. Being next to such a lovely city and only a few miles from the beach comes in handy during post exam periods. My only criticism would be of the prices of facilities in the university. The gym membership is extortionate and the cost of joining a sports team, which often you won't be picked for unless you're friends with the captians, is almost disrespectful. Besides that little moan at the end, I could not much complain about Exeter.

Beautiful campus, the forum is great. More constructive feedback on assessments and knowing exactly what lecturers expect from you in essays and exams would be good, but I guess that's similar at many universities. Plenty of societies to get involved in, with great facilities across campus.

Fabulous academic and social life

Brilliant courses, friendly staff, lots of societies and a beautiful modern campus. Can't ask for more!

Such an amazing university, so many opportunities accessible to everyone. The friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Facilities are excellent, for example the gym is a really great place to let off some steam/ get fit with a range of classes and personal trainers available.

Exeter is a great university with lots of different backgrounds, I am from the north from a under privileged background mixing in with students who have parents as CEO's in companies and they are all friends as they all respect each other and how they have got into university.

Beautiful and modern campus with a good range of places to eat and a shop which stocks a huge variety of things! town is lovely and accommodation whether halls or private is very good!

Amazing university in terms of facilities, opportunities and the student community. One of the only issues is that it's so far away from anywhere else!

I've had the best 3 years of my life at Exeter. I love it so much I'm going back next year to do a masters!

The most friendly relaxed university, excellent social life and it's in a beautiful part of the country

Exeter Uni could not feel more like home. The lecturers are outstanding, the campus is lively, friendly and very beautiful and there are so many societies to get involved with. I wish I could stay here forever.

Going to Exeter was probably the best decision I have ever made. Many of the amazing people I met in my halls in first year and through societies are now my best friends. My course was very interesting, well structured and staff was extremely helpful. I would say campus has a very family-like atmosphere, which is something I loved. I would highly recommend Exeter to all prospective students!

Exeter is an incredible experience of community and friendship. It is beautiful and often sunny, allowing students to fully enjoy the campus and the surrounding area. There is also a great variety of courses which are very interesting and a lot of nice and helpful professors.

Everything about UoE oozes modernity, confidence and pride. The new buildings demonstrate Exeter's advancement into the future and its desire to provide its students with everything they need for a degree in the new 21st century. Societies both academic and vocational are well-run, charismatic and thoughtful, encouraging everyone to participate and have fun. Extra-curricular activities such as help with careers is easy to find, use and learn from, providing vast resources to those who truly need it. In essence, UoE has set the standards for pedigree in the university world.

Exeter is such a welcoming place to be

Amazing uni with great opportunities and great people. Always willing to help you with any problem.

The university offers amazing opportunities and provides amazing standards of education and enjoyment

Great Uni experience with such a beautiful campus. It also has the best Yak.

Could not be enjoying Exeter more - huge range of societies, beautiful campus, quality teaching and lively city centre.

The campus is beautiful, the people are amazing and the courses are super flexible so you can study whatever you want. Plus, the facilities are incredible, the sports and society opportunities are endless and the university offers more advice and support for you than you can shake a stick at.

Wouldn't imagine being anywhere else.

Best year of my entire life. I wish I could go and do it all again.
