Exeter

Not too big not too small- the Goldilocks city! Everything is walkable but I wouldn’t reccomend for those looking for big night life!

Excellent shopping overall for the south west, a cringe nightclub scene and perhaps the best university in the world. What more could you possibly want?

Exeter is a beautiful city with many green spaces and good places to eat. The main city is small enough to walk everywhere, but big enough to have lots of activities and events taking place. Once you have lived there for a while, you constantly see people you know walking through the streets!

Exeter is a really good area that is somewhere in between with the comforts of a small city but also the luxuries of a big city, especially with shopping on High Street. With three rail stations, it's easy to go to and from places, especially when the walk to each one isn't very far. Very nice place, and the university is great.

Always new restaurants popping up. They just need a Victoria Secret and they’ll have pretty much every shop you could ever want. There has recently been a LOT of student accommodation being built and from what i can see of it, it looks very nice! City itself feels very safe and is always clean and well presented

Exeter is a lovely city, nights out are great, there are a variety of places to go for food and the shopping facilities are average!

Exeter; a small city (has a cathedral) in Devon, packed with everything you'll need. From houses, to shops, to schools, anything you desire is withinwalking distance. Exeter city, although small, has its share of fun. However, it is limited in terms of adventure and high class shopping. With John Lewis being Exeter's largest shopping mall found on the high street. With an indoor climbing gym near the quay, along with a few bars and restaurants, a weekend trip to the river is a sure way to spend a sunny day. The many clubs littered around Exeter city center will keep nights lively for students and adults keen on partying. Transport available include busses, and taxis. Although accessable, they are a bit more pricey when considering everything is in walking distance.

Beautiful city, many shops and restaurants, nights out are okay but not many places open overly late.

Exeter really does have everything - lovely quayside walks and boating opportunities, a vibrant nightlife, great places to eat, and all the shops you could ever want to visit.

Exeter City is a city full of activities and shops. It definitely feels like a student town and there's always things to do with friends. Food can often be too expensive to afford as a student so eating out is less common. The transport is fairly good, although too often pricey. Apple taxis are very efficient and always friendly and a great service to use on nights out. Nights out are always fun, and there are loads of great students deals on certain nights.

Small city that feels more like a big friendly town. Most attractions in walking distance. Very safe during the day and night, huge student presence. Vast array of restaurants, bars and clubs. Not many green spaces is only downfall. Don't know about public transport as never needed it but have heard it's reliable and cheap.

The nights out are great. There is so much selection with restaurants and food with all different cultures and with different prices so you don't need to be spending tons. You can go shopping with loads of good shops and you can enjoy lots of different variety's of items eg, music, film, shoes, clothes, electronics.

Great shopping and a place to go with mates. Seems like a vibrant student city considering the size and with good connections to london, it's easily accessible.

Penryn Campus is a stunning location, its eco-friendly approach is very inspiring. As the campus is extreamly close to the harbour it is in the perfect position as students can make the most of the great outdoors.

Exeter has a fantastic location in terms of being both close to the sea, countryside and other cities which are easily accessible by train. It has a calm but vibrant attitude and it is very easy to find where you fit in.

Solid night out with surrounding mates from campus. City really clean and beautiful to be part of. However slightly more expensive than other unis.

The environment in and around the uni is amazing ! Not very crowded and people are nice ,commuting is convenient and feasible , not very hectic. Easy going life, and all this helps to create a better environment for studies. Being an international student the city feels safe too !

I would say that Exeter is the perfect place for someone who doesn’t want a big city, but still wants enough hustle and bustle to keep themselves busy with both nightlife and daytime shopping. Exeter is also really close to the sea and so it is perfect for the spring and summer months when you want to head to the beach with friends - Exmouth is a 25 minute train ride away and ticket fares are really cheap. For people used to places such as London, you may find Exeter a little too small for you, but I believe this is what makes me love it. You can walk everywhere, but buses are frequent should you prefer not to walk.

Exeter is a lovely city with easy access to everything, mostly all in walking distance. The surrounding areas to the city itself provide a lot for students to do in their free time.

I went to the University of Exeter cornwall campus down in falmouth. Despite initially being weary, I grew to really fall in love with the place. It’s incredibly small so very much unlike any other university experience. There are 3 main clubs that everyone go to. The latest time they open is till 3 am so if you want to find a night out till 6/7am you’ll have to look for house parties. These are the main workhorses of the party scene in falmouth. Walking along any of the student roads (Marlborough, Trevethan, Killigrew) you can stumble upon a true underground experience, guaranteed to give you a night out like no other. Plus there’s loads of cute small bistros and bars to explore while you’re down here despite being a bit more upmarket (£££!!!) it’s worth it to find your own space where you may frequent with friends. Aesthetic wise however, this lovely little town cannot be matched by anywhere else. Countless beautiful beaches to explore and many new ones to find, outdoor adventures galore and even calm chilled spots for relaxing after a big night out. Falmouth really is out of this world!!

Great location for a uni - not too far from the coastline so perfect for weekends. Town is great for shopping and picnics in the park!

Exeter is a wonderful area - full of shops, outdoor and indoor activities, scenic views and bars and clubs which contribute to its chilled out and fun night scene. The campus is closed off and feels like a bubble yet so close to the town. Although quite hilly so be prepared to gain some leg muscle. Also buses run frequently with great access for disabled people.

The location is perfect if you like a mixture of the beach and the countryside, as well as shops and restaurants featuring food from all over the world. You can walk/cycle anywhere within around 15 minutes and there are many train stations nearby to allow you to explore out of the city. There are many coffee shops along the key which are great for catching up with friends or doing some work.
