University of Exeter

It was very expensive for what you got , especially the freshers ball. We had to pay £25 for an event that was just in our uni canteen. There wasn't many decoration and there were certain things promised that weren't there. They did have a random shisha bar that was pretty cool though it was just very over priced.

The music was good but the bulk buy tickets for freshers promised a full moon party, a circus themed night etc and all we had was some glow sticks and some balloons. It didnt seem very well planned and I felt like the money I paid for the ticket wasn't worthwhile. The lemon grove used to be great but I don't think they're putting nights on any more which is a shame (I graduated this year for reference)

Don't get freshers wristband as you end up only going to about 2 of the events. Get talking to your flat mates early on and do something together the first night. Don't go to any introduction lectures unless you want to meet people on your course. Don't phone home every day.

Fairly good fun but a lack of good events and high profile names. It was easy to get into my accommodation and settled in very well. The routine was easy to get in to. The value for money isn’t great but Exeter is quite expensive in general so tha isn’t really surprising.

The overall experience was good, though the actual nightlife within Exeter is average at best, this relfected on Freshers week.
