Exeter

The town centre has a little bit of everything one would need to have an enjoyable day. There's cafes, shopping centers, and a beautiful cathedral. The shopping options are by far the best thing about the town centre.

Exeter is a small town, and having moved there from a big city, it took some getting used to. At first I felt like there was nothing much to do outside of the high street, but this is where the friends you meet matters. The university life is not bound to the city, and joining societies like the Surf Club takes you to the beach every weekend, taking advantage of the location. The nights out are pretty consistent, my favourite place was the Cavern, which still remains one of my favourite venues. It's charming and has a great history. I also loved going cycling in the area or renting a kayak for the day and setting off from the quay. Exeter is beautiful and charming, but it takes effort to recognise this and embrace it.

Everything you need it in town, so many shops and restaurants. Nightlife isn’t the best but there’s plenty of pubs for a more chilled night out.

Exeter has a great thriving city full of lots of activities such as looking around the cathedral or museum or key. The city has a great range of shops and restaurants to satisfy any needs. The people are lovely and the area is generally very nice.

The location is great if you’re someone who loves both the city and the countryside. Close enough to both the sea and the moors, as well as having numerous night clubs, shops and restaraunts just a few minutes walk away.

Exeter isn’t the largest city but it has a wide variety of places to eat and shop. There is a limited but enjoyable nightlife. The city itself is quite vibrant and very cycle friendly, with plenty of countryside to explore nearby.

I have had an amazing time living as a student in Exeter, although I probably would not continue on living here after graduation. There is definitely enough to keep you busy here with your friends (lots of really good value restaurants, a couple of cinemas, some pretty good high street shops and lots of nice cafés) but there are only a few nightclubs so the nightlife is obviously not as varied as it would be at Universities in bigger cities like London. I love that, because Exeter is a smaller city, you can walk quickly and easily to the centre of town, to campus and to your friends’ houses so everything feels very accessible. You are also not far from Exmouth beach, which is great in the Summer.

Good everything is great not too much to talk about

If you're looking for a buzzing nightlife and cool city to live in, look elsewhere. Not so much of a city as a town, with what seems to be 5 identical and equally sub-par clubs. Some seem to enjoy it but honestly wouldn't recommend to anyone I know.

Great and green! The university has the highest tree to student ratio. And with a quick journey down to the beaches (exmiuth, sidmouth and Cornwall) or to the luscious lands called Dartmoor you have loads to look forward to at the weekends or a evening after lectures.

Lovely city, always plenty to do and all the shops you could need. The night life is not the most vibrant, however Exeter pulls it out the bag with the odd music event.

The Streatham Campus of Exeter Uni, as it says in the name, is a campus. Nevertheless, it is really close to the city centre; no more than a 15 minute casual stroll. The city centre has every shop you could imagine, and a great range of restaurants for all price ranges. Nights out might not be like in London as clubs close fairly early, but they are still decent nights out, which always ends up cheesy chips: classic.

The uni is nice and close to town but the city is pretty small so there’s not that much to do but there are good shops

Living in Exeter has been great. It’s the main busling town centre without the chaos of a big city. The only this is that it’s very far away from other more populated university towns so travelling around and such can be expensive and troublesome.

Really nice city, the nightlife is pretty good and you have several kebab choices. Quite hilly so can be a trek. Can get a direct train from Waterloo or Woking which is great.

Exeter is in a beautiful location that provides many opportunities for weekends away or beach trips. Whilst it may not be the biggest city, the walkable distance of most things makes it great for students. You'll end up loving Exeter for its small-size and 'unique' nightlife.

Good nights out in Exeter, recommend Unit 1 and Fever. Exeter is a lovely city to live in, lots of eating and shopping places including Princesshay. Also, very green area with parks and also the river exe

Good transport links by train to Most parts of the UK making getting to university easy. The city of Exeter itself is small and compact so you can walk to most points in the city in less then 30 minutes max and buses do also provide transport to most places too if you do not wish to walk.

Wish there was more food outlets on campus, esp specific restaurants/cafes to sit down Exeter is a really good city for shopping one of the biggest in the south-west, however wish there was some nearer outer town shopping outlets etc somewhere else to go and shop Housing is expensive and a hassle to secure

Amazing location couldn’t wish for anything better.

It was good and enjoyable with many places to eat and shop at. However, these can add up with myself spending £500 each month

Such an incredible city with lots of exiting things to do. Plenty of places to eat out and go for walks, etc. Couldn't ask for a better place to live.

Teaching is poor
