My course, English and French, is very informative and exciting as a fresher, and I'm enjoying it very much. The careers services are incredibly helpful, and as a cause of this I don't feel so intimaited for the future.

Such a beautiful campus and lots of fun. Have really enjoyed my time here, especially involvement in socials and activities. Excellent lecturers and found the academics to be of a very high standard. Lots of focus on helping with careers advice. Sometimes there are organisation issues, timetabling often goes wrong, and exam timetables come out very late. Also the heating is a bit dodgy and is either too hot or too cold.

This Campus is Breathtaking both for the modern buildings and the old. The facilities are all very good especially the library and many other study arias. It is also the greenest campus I have ever set eyes on with some places feeling really bucolic. The grounds are clean and it is a peaceful place to live.

Lovely campus but eating facilities could be subsidised more. Fantastic careers services. Could be more study space.

Campus is nice, very green and pretty, but there are a lot of hills! There's also a serious lack of study space in the main campus areas, especially around exam time. The careers services are extensive and they do offer help for a variety of fields, which is really useful.

It’s a beautiful campus, we have world class lecturers and depending on what kind of student you are, you can choose to be as involved or as excluded as you want. There’s constant opportunities to offer advice and change to the university itself, to your core courses, you can be involved in the SU, in changes on campus, in societies and clubs. There’s literally enough socially to keep you busy all day every day, before even looking at your degree work. And yet you can sack all of that off and just do your own thing if you want, come and go as you please, find some quite space on a campus of over 20,000 students. It’s really beautiful and there are so many opps for career development, support, guidance etc.

The sport's societies in Exeter are absolutely great, possibly the best thing about the student experience. They organise great nights out and the training facilities are normally very good. Although Exeter doesn't have the best nightlife, it just has one or two clubs which are marginally good, but most students grow to love them. The facilities are pretty average, I would say very good for law and business but possibly not as good for some science degrees. The bar (The Ram) on site is pretty standard and is everything you'd expect from a student union bar. The on site club, The lemmy, however, is gross. I wouldn't say the organisation or careers services are pretty good, and the university is very strict with deadlines and assessments. There is definitely a bit of a rich man's culture at the university, so often students from poorer incomes can be left feeling quite out of place. The accommodation is nice, but very expensive.

Such a friendly, beautiful and homely campus. It has excellent facilities across the board; with a mixture of old historic buildings and new modern state of the art buildings. There is a wide range of eateries and cafes, and there is always something going on in the forum or on forum hill to give you a nice break from your studies. Being set in a relatively small, town-like city, it is easy to feel comfortable and at home in Exeter very quickly. Everything is walking distance and its warmer down South, so win-win. Just a 30 minute train ride to the beach too is ideal for when summer term finally comes around.

Exeter's campus is beautiful (except the hills); the facilities are great and lots of trees. There needs to be a lot more spaces for study, although there are already so many places to work, it still fills up very quickly. Currently (November) you'd have to get to the library by at least 10.30am to be able to find a seat, and during exam period any later than 8am would be impossible to get a seat! This is my one criticism of exeter; everything else is great. I had problems with my course (PPE) at the end of first year and beginning of second year when trying to change from PPE to PP. All these problems I thought we absurd. I am lucky that I am grateful I did not manage to change as I now value the economics, however if I was still not happy doing PPE this would be a massive issue.

A excellent university in a good location. First of all, not to mention the environment. University of Exeter provide great facilities and study environment as well as having great lecturers that keeps me attentive in lectures and conducts interesting and engaging lectures. Great service given to me when I needed help with my further studies application. Also, the campus environment it is the best to walk around when I am a moment to clear my mind.

Overall, Exeter has a great campus with excellent facilities, especially for sport. That said, a larger library/study space is needed, as whilst the current facilities are very good, finding a seat can be difficult. My course has got better over the three years that I have been here, with it becoming far more interesting in the third year. Regarding careers, the career zone put on many events for all industries. One major drawback I found in the first year was the standard of pastoral care, which in my opinion was lacking.

Very scenic and pretty campus, course is difficult but at the right level as well as teaching being overall at a very high level. Careers advice has been very useful and given me opportunity to discover what to apply for next year.
