Aesthetic campus a short distance from town, clubs, and a lot of student housing areas. Historically good university and always near the top of rankings. Definitely better for humanities, social sciences and the like, than for STEM courses. The university is good for sport IF you're keen to be part of 'rugby lad' culture. Other options end up being sidelined to allow the rugby teams to walk over everyone else. Overall enjoyed my experience here but would definitely have gone to University of Bath if given the choice again - I came close to transferring there before my final year as it offered better teaching and job prospects, while being similar in terms of quality of sport and social life. Definitely found this to be a haven for rich kids from the Home counties (Surrey, etc). There are normal people around but it can be hard to get a large social group outside of this if you're not part of a sports team, otherwise you'll probably feel surrounded by a bunch of Millys and Williams talking about their gap yahs while sipping from their Pret lattes.

Great campus and facilities, with a good range of accommodation options. Highest tree to student ratio in the country is a bonus... Mostly jolly people, all of them from Surrey so it really is a home from home. Good option, all in all.

I think the university on the whole is really good. I really like the sports facilities, especially the sports park. There are several sports clubs with lots variety. The same goes for all the different societies.

I studied sport science for my undergrad and post-grad at Exeter, and loved all 4 years. The standard of teaching is incredibly high, with challenging yet rewarding aspects involved throughout. The student life is also buzzing, providing everyone woth the best student experience possible; however, the SU could do more to create events with local clubs.

The campus is beautiful and in a great location. Organisation is not always the strong point, but my course content is pretty interesting.

I love the campus feel of the university. It's so nice to be able to get to places to easily. The facilities are all fairly new and they keep on putting more money into redevelopment. It's so nice to be so close to the country side as well

I am doing this review to get free food therefore, I don't really want to spend my time having to think of things to write, it's 8 in the morning and I have a whole day of work.. free or discounted food would be nice. My uni is pretty good! The walk there is pretty slippery and crowaded but the campus is amazing, I wouldn't want to change uni for nothing in this world.

One of the best campuses that i have seen for universities and great facilities. The course is pretty enjoyable but more difficult than expected.

Had a fantastic time here over the last couple of years; staff are really friendly, and always happy to help, the campus is lovely and green, and very modern, and the Student Union is fantastic. However, sometimes the lecture quality is poor, depending lecturer to lecturer. The city is very small, and is lacking an actual nightlife, and the friction with locals is always aggravating.

Nice well kept campus. Really enjoy my course and the majority of the content and feel most of my lecturers are very good. More seating required

My course is awful but it's made better by how green the campus is. Honestly it makes such an improvement when the area is nice

In general, the uni has good facilities, with plenty of workspace across the campus. However, the library gets very busy so it is hard to find a space during the day. On the Psychology course, there is a good amount of contact hours, and the personal tutors are generally quite supportive. However, many of the textbooks for the course are not provided in the library.

The campus is beautiful, with so much greenery and outdoor space. The forum is a great hub to get food or meet up with friends, with the library there that is great for working but gets a bit too overcrowded. It's a shame the library isn't a bit bigger as everyone wants to work there as the forum is so central and a great place to be. The careers services are great in terms of helping you gather ideas of what you want to do as well as hosting a range of events. I've had the best 3 years at uni and will be sad to leave.

Campus facilities are amazing. Library and study areas are well equipped with printers, self catering facilities, etc., the only downside being the lack of space in the afternoons. The sports facilities are also faultless.

The University of Exeter campus is unparalleled, it's greenery is beautiful and it's forum is the perfect hybridity of work and social space. In terms of careers advice, the 'Career Zone'is on hand 24/7, whether it's large scale lectures on application forms, interview skills or one one one interview to help with your personal development.

Campus is pretty nice, easy to find your way around. Exeter is pretty hilly though, be prepared for some serious leg workouts.

I've loved my time at Exeter so far - although it is very hilly, I see it as a good way to keep fit. The campus is very green and open, and has great facilities. The library contains any book you might need, and has good online access. However, the on-campus shops are a bit expensive and force me to cook at home and bring food in.

Excellent uni, friendly and helpful staff, with a few exceptions. Great facilities such as the gym and library, although the library is usually full.

The Penryn campus of Exeter university is a great place to study, although it is small, it provides all tools you need in order to enjoy your time there and come out of uni with a great degree.

The university of Exeter is a wonderful place! Beautiful campus, lots of trees, good courses (including language courses for international students), teachers are friendly, career service offers a lot of opportunities. Lot of help offered. Not far away from city center, if you enjoy walking you're going to love this place!

The univeristy is full of life, there is literally a society for everybody here (as cliche as that sounds). Whilst public transport isn't really a thing in Exeter, it is easy to walk around (and good exercise), plus bikes are readily available to rent or buy from fellow students or the numerous bike shops around.

I love the university but it definitely has the air of a business about it, the lecturers seem to care more about their own research than teaching us, especially when we're first years. The campus itself is beautiful, lovely views, it is also very sustainable.

Beautiful campus just outside of the city centre. The facilities are great and i struggle to see what else might be required.
