My university offers an outstanding academic environment within a beautiful and vibrant campus.
It’s pretty good overall. There’s a wide range of sources available to help students if you need it and everyone is very helpful. All problems, if any, are resolved quickly.
Everything is good had a great experience here
not very many incentives for a social school life. no events for student residents organised by the school. not very many pocs of black descent. Events and society memberships are expensive. its genuinely inaccessible to students with needs what with all the hills and the stairs and the maize to the elevators, its totally impractical. claims to be inclusive but have classes during Eid holiday but not easter....
Excellent sports facilities and engaging courses
WiFi is spotty outside and weak in many other. The facilities are lovely. RAM Bar for the win. I can’t say much about the union or career service but the clubs can be really expensive as you have to buy a membership and each event
Great campus, Guild takes a while to respond to things.
I had a good experience as an exchange student.
The uni well-being team are outstanding
My experience at the University of Exeter has been largely positive, particularly in terms of the campus and academic environment. The campus and facilities are outstanding and state-of-the-art, providing excellent spaces for both study and leisure. The internet connection is consistently reliable, which has been ideal for studying and everyday use. The Careers Service offers good communication and is generally helpful, providing useful guidance when needed. However, there is limited diversity in clubs and societies, and student engagement opportunities could be expanded. In addition, there appears to be little or no visible Students’ Union representation, which makes student support and advocacy feel less accessible. Overall, the university offers strong academic infrastructure, but there is room for improvement in student community and representation.
Great university, lots of things to do and engaging lectures
The best accommodation, the staff is amazing
Great, amazing stuff. Good events
There are so many events that goes at the university that its great!
I’ve loved my time at uni, staff etc are really good.
The university of Exeter is a great university that lives up to its Russel group standard

i love the campus and how much there is to offer so may opportunities for studenta
Great university. I love it here
Perfect uni, I loved my course and the campus is my favourite part. Will be missed when I am adulting proper :(((
The university is great. The 2 main campuses has alot to offer academically and socially.
I am satisfied with all the services , thank you for everything
Nice place to study. Teaching labs in st Luke's could be a little better but the ones in Streatham are good. Library is a nice quite place to study, has lots of group and also individual study spaces. Use range of teaching activities
The Uni of Exeter offers a well-structured academic system with clear expectations and strong academic support. Lectures are research-informed and intellectually stimulating, and seminars encourage critical discussion rather than passive learning. Professors are approachable and willing to provide clarification during office hours, which makes a significant difference when working on essays or preparing for assessments. The campus environment is one of Exeter’s strongest features. The Streatham Campus, in particular, is green and spacious, creating a calm atmosphere that supports both study and wellbeing. The library facilities are modern, with silent study areas as well as collaborative spaces. During exam periods, extended opening hours are especially helpful.
Incredible uni, amazing facilities. Couldn’t have picked better :3
Not too big of a fan where the campus is split across the city. Clubs and societies feel more distant than the university I went to when I was an undergraduate.
Great university with range of societies and a beautiful campus
Very well respected uni, having a great time and the course is exceptional
Wifi in some buildings not so great. Great lecture rooms and study spaces
It has a beautiful campus and I love walking to uni with plentiful exposure to the environment.
The WiFi can be a bit spotty at times during lectures when loads of people are accessing it however it is generally good and you can automatically connect from any point on campus. The wellbeing and careers services are particularly good they are supportive , resourceful , reliable and generally give excellent opportunities and accommodations. They go above and beyond and can arrange free transportation to a and e and can have staff accompany you in your worst moments. Truly a university that goes above and beyond. The student union has fantastic free events all year round with opportunities to win big prizes or get rewards for completing surveys. The selection of societies is vast and many societies have crossover socials ensuring you will meet new people and potentially develop more friends !
Exeter Uni has been great so far. Honestly academics are as good as I expected. Nothing to complain about.
First year student, till now everything is going great.
Very good, love the university, it has opened many doors.
Exeter university is a great place for students to study with brilliant guidance, meet like-minded people and have a good time in general.
Good university, enjoyed my 3 years
Nice campus, bad WiFi, not enough food options in the cafe
I’d like the university to keep the disabled people on mind because every class is at a distance and sometimes it is very difficult to get to the classes and have a seat without an actual struggle. There are no ramps in some areas and also there should be wheelchairs and people deployed to help somebody in need outside the buildings. I’d also like if the university offered some sort of transportation for people with disabilities for easy accessibility and timely accessibility. Thank you.
Great experience so far, good academics and staff
So far, every, facilities provided by the university are top notch be it in career services or academic fields. Totally satisfied
Great university, lots of support and amazing staff
I started recently, but I’m enjoying my experience at the university.
WiFi is okay, in general very good uni but more events could be happening especially more creative events. Also should be more societies eg arm wrestling, spontaneous society. More spontaneous activities should happen
Living off campus I rarely get to experience much campus life, however I’d like there to be more reasons to go and get involved in campus and fully maximise what it has to offer.
Great experience, had fun thanks
University is very good with a big campus for all students. Lots of different societies for students to join which are all good fun. However, the WiFi at the university is sometimes not up to speed
overall good, engineering dept has great resources and rooms on campus, course is alright, lecturers are alright
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Exeter and had an extremely positive experience with the wellbeing and support staff.
I really enjoyed studying at the University of Exeter. The campus is lovely and the staff at my department was very welcoming and kind.
Exeter is a lovely university, with great facilities and a nice welcoming atmosphere. The Penryn campus is a fantastic location, with Falmouth being perfect for a night out or a swim in the sea.
Teachers are helpful and quick to reply
really wonderful full scope of facilities and such welcoming and accommodating staff
Beautiful uni, lots of green and lots of hills.
Great Uni!! Very student friendly city as well and lots of societies + great lecturers and services by people who try their best to actually help you with your studies and progress
This place is very fantastic because everything in there is very freedom. I’ve had a really great experience living in this apartment. The facilities are excellent — the building is clean, modern, and well-maintained. The common areas, study rooms, and gym are all very convenient and make daily life much easier. My room is comfortable and everything works perfectly. One thing I really appreciate is that the apartment organizes lots of events and activities. It’s a great way to meet people, relax, and feel more connected to the community. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with any problem. Overall, it’s a comfortable, safe, and lively place to live. I’m genuinely happy with my stay here and would recommend it to anyone.
Nice campus, great sports facilities, good careers support
The most significant and transformative experience one can get!!
As a Media student, I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Exeter. The academic quality is exceptional—my supervisors are renowned scholars who offer meticulous guidance and valuable research collaborations. The Media department boasts state-of-the-art labs and a curriculum that balances theory and practice, boosting my academic and professional skills significantly. The student support is outstanding, especially for internationals—from enrollment help to academic writing workshops and career advice. The campus is beautiful, with lush greenery, and just a short walk to downtown Exeter, making daily life convenient. The diverse, friendly community and vibrant clubs helped me make global friends, fostering a strong sense of belonging. Exeter isn’t just a university; it’s a place that nurtures growth. Highly recommended for anyone seeking excellent academics and an unforgettable study abroad journey!
The facilities are brand new and complete. The surrounding environment is beautiful. The front desk service is very considerate. There are also many public facilities. It is a very suitable apartment for students to live in.
touch rugby is the best society there
Very nice uni where I have been able to enjoy a full university experience
I'm an international student at the University of Exeter, and my experience has been a mix of genuinely supportive services and areas that still need improvement. What stood out the most to me was how approachable the careers team is - whenever I needed guidance, they responded clearly and didn't make me feel rushed. It really helped me understand the UK job market better. The campus environment is also amazing for studying. There are plenty of quiet spots, and the WiFi is reliable enough for both studying and entertainment, although there are occasional weak spots during peak hours. One thing I appreciated was the number of student-led events. They're regular, well-organised, and make it much easier to meet people, especially if you're new to the UK like me. Overall, here is a place where you can grow academically and personally, as long as you make use of the services offered. It's not perfect, but it genuinely feels like the university cares about student wellbeing.
Beautiful historic campus with very modern facilities
Invaluable experience with many opportunities and staff guidance.
Perfect location, great amenities, amazing staff!
I’m having a great experience so far
Everything that the university provides has been good quality.
I'm a PhD so don't really have time for societies but the campus is nice
It is really good and I love the uni
Nice and quite. Lovely and wonderful place to live.
Very good experience, we need some vending machines
Amazing university great people and facilities
I really enjoy living at Walnut Garden. The place is clean and tidy, the staff are super nice and always ready to help, and the security is great. Everything you need for daily life is provided, and the facilities are modern and convenient. Highly recommend!
Brilliant university. Very happy with my decision, can’t fault it at all.
Very God so far, a high community feel with an encouraging focus on study!
Wonderful place, the best you can find in Exeter as a student. This place brought me so much joy as well as opportunities for development and many new friends. Very recommended.
Polite and incredibly helpful staff!!
The University of Exeter has an absolutely gorgeous campus — full of greenery and stunning views. Despite the hills, it’s always buzzing with life and activity, which gives it a really vibrant atmosphere. There’s always something going on, from events to student societies, making it easy to get involved. The staff are approachable, friendly, and genuinely helpful, creating a supportive environment both academically and personally. A beautiful, lively place to study and grow.
Amazing History Course, very beautiful and nature focused campus!!
All good loving it so far. No complaints
Great uni, nice surroundings, good place to be,
Good uni but societies are very cliquey
Such a fantastic Uni and campus. It is honestly everything you could ask for, and more!
Very nice campus which allows for uni to be a great experience
Wifi needs to improve md specifically for calls
Love the university, I joined fencing in my first year and it is the best society ever!
University as a whole is great with amazing facilities for my subject. However the student union is quite redundant and doesn’t appear to do much. The wifi is also unreliable at best when you are not in lectures.
Good university with a highly educated faculty
The university is forward-thinking and filled with passionate staff. The WiFi is the main drawback, with very temperamental connection and, in student housing, very poor maintenance. Last year I had to wait some 10 days for the issue to be fixed by the company responsible, which meant that for all readings, work, etc I had to rely on personal hotspots from my phone or would be forced to trek to the library.
So far St Luke’s Campus at University of Exeter has been Excellent!!
The WiFi has been painfully bad this year
Great experience. Loving my time here
Good experience so far, societies are very good. WiFi problems have meant I haven't been able to do class activities.
studying here so far has been amazing
Very good, Wi-Fi is sometimes on and off but overall good
