The University of Exeter has a standout campus due to plenty of green spaces, which are a lovely environment to walk through between lectures and to spend time studying and socialising outdoors.

Good place with grt facilities
best place for students to choose to live
Great university overall, obviously downside is hilly terrain
Generally, my experience at UoE is a really supported one. I feel like staff really go out of their way to help, to improve the current courses, classes etc. They always encourage us to leave feedback. In terms of facilities, St Lukes campus is a really aesthetic, nice place to be. The cafe is excellent, there is a gym on site- the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the gym is really small- I think it should definiately be expanded but I know there is not currently enough space for this. In terms of clubs and socieites, we have so many and lots of students are really well involved. Careers services are provided through handshake and you can always book a meeting with a careers advisor. WiFi is good apart from in LSRCs last year and the RILD
While the facilities are great, most on-campus shops and cafes are rather expensive, making it harsher for students who are in-between long lectures. The campus in itself is gorgeous, clean, and has a good variety of different study spaces with mostly good access to wifi.
Great university and really listen to what the students want from them.

Generally has been really good, lots of modern facilities. Unfortunately it’s super difficult to find anywhere on campus to study, especially in the afternoon, which is quite annoying if you don’t live on campus. Almost everything is within walking distance, and the campus is about 20 mins from the city centre.
Overall a very good accommodation, especially the service team here
Overall a solid experience at uni so far!
Uni of Exeter has been a very enjoyable experience so far
Solid experience, good environment and teaching for a bachelor’s degree
Amazing experience so far!!!!!
Campus is beautiful, teaching has been good so far, my cohort is wonderful. I’m enjoying my time here so far
The University of Exeter offers a great overall student experience. The campus is beautiful, with lots of green space and modern facilities that make it a pleasant place to study and spend time. Student life is also a highlight, with a wide variety of clubs and societies and a strong sense of community. Exeter is largely a university town, so it feels relatively safe and very student-friendly. One area that could improve is the Career Zone, as it can be difficult to get an appointment during busy times. Overall, though, Exeter provides a positive and enjoyable university experience.
I enjoy Penryn campus a lot !!!
very nice university, good campus
My university offers an outstanding academic environment within a beautiful and vibrant campus.
It’s pretty good overall. There’s a wide range of sources available to help students if you need it and everyone is very helpful. All problems, if any, are resolved quickly.
Everything is good had a great experience here
not very many incentives for a social school life. no events for student residents organised by the school. not very many pocs of black descent. Events and society memberships are expensive. its genuinely inaccessible to students with needs what with all the hills and the stairs and the maize to the elevators, its totally impractical. claims to be inclusive but have classes during Eid holiday but not easter....
Excellent sports facilities and engaging courses
WiFi is spotty outside and weak in many other. The facilities are lovely. RAM Bar for the win. I can’t say much about the union or career service but the clubs can be really expensive as you have to buy a membership and each event
Great campus, Guild takes a while to respond to things.
I had a good experience as an exchange student.
The uni well-being team are outstanding
My experience at the University of Exeter has been largely positive, particularly in terms of the campus and academic environment. The campus and facilities are outstanding and state-of-the-art, providing excellent spaces for both study and leisure. The internet connection is consistently reliable, which has been ideal for studying and everyday use. The Careers Service offers good communication and is generally helpful, providing useful guidance when needed. However, there is limited diversity in clubs and societies, and student engagement opportunities could be expanded. In addition, there appears to be little or no visible Students’ Union representation, which makes student support and advocacy feel less accessible. Overall, the university offers strong academic infrastructure, but there is room for improvement in student community and representation.
Great university, lots of things to do and engaging lectures
The best accommodation, the staff is amazing
Great, amazing stuff. Good events
There are so many events that goes at the university that its great!
I’ve loved my time at uni, staff etc are really good.
The university of Exeter is a great university that lives up to its Russel group standard
lovely university with great facilities
As an MSc Financial Technology student at the University of Exeter, I’ve had a really good experience so far. The course is well structured and combines finance with practical tech skills, which feels very relevant to the industry. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable, and the facilities at the Business School are modern and comfortable. Overall, it’s been a solid choice for postgraduate study.
It’s good university but WiFi isn’t too good
Lovely campus with great support from the staff!
nice campus needs more bucks teams
i love the campus and how much there is to offer so may opportunities for studenta
Great university. I love it here
Perfect uni, I loved my course and the campus is my favourite part. Will be missed when I am adulting proper :(((
The university is great. The 2 main campuses has alot to offer academically and socially.
I am satisfied with all the services , thank you for everything
Nice place to study. Teaching labs in st Luke's could be a little better but the ones in Streatham are good. Library is a nice quite place to study, has lots of group and also individual study spaces. Use range of teaching activities
The Uni of Exeter offers a well-structured academic system with clear expectations and strong academic support. Lectures are research-informed and intellectually stimulating, and seminars encourage critical discussion rather than passive learning. Professors are approachable and willing to provide clarification during office hours, which makes a significant difference when working on essays or preparing for assessments. The campus environment is one of Exeter’s strongest features. The Streatham Campus, in particular, is green and spacious, creating a calm atmosphere that supports both study and wellbeing. The library facilities are modern, with silent study areas as well as collaborative spaces. During exam periods, extended opening hours are especially helpful.
Incredible uni, amazing facilities. Couldn’t have picked better :3
Not too big of a fan where the campus is split across the city. Clubs and societies feel more distant than the university I went to when I was an undergraduate.
Great university with range of societies and a beautiful campus
Very well respected uni, having a great time and the course is exceptional
Wifi in some buildings not so great. Great lecture rooms and study spaces
It has a beautiful campus and I love walking to uni with plentiful exposure to the environment.
The WiFi can be a bit spotty at times during lectures when loads of people are accessing it however it is generally good and you can automatically connect from any point on campus. The wellbeing and careers services are particularly good they are supportive , resourceful , reliable and generally give excellent opportunities and accommodations. They go above and beyond and can arrange free transportation to a and e and can have staff accompany you in your worst moments. Truly a university that goes above and beyond. The student union has fantastic free events all year round with opportunities to win big prizes or get rewards for completing surveys. The selection of societies is vast and many societies have crossover socials ensuring you will meet new people and potentially develop more friends !
Exeter Uni has been great so far. Honestly academics are as good as I expected. Nothing to complain about.
First year student, till now everything is going great.
Very good, love the university, it has opened many doors.
Exeter university is a great place for students to study with brilliant guidance, meet like-minded people and have a good time in general.
Good university, enjoyed my 3 years
Nice campus, bad WiFi, not enough food options in the cafe
I’d like the university to keep the disabled people on mind because every class is at a distance and sometimes it is very difficult to get to the classes and have a seat without an actual struggle. There are no ramps in some areas and also there should be wheelchairs and people deployed to help somebody in need outside the buildings. I’d also like if the university offered some sort of transportation for people with disabilities for easy accessibility and timely accessibility. Thank you.
Great experience so far, good academics and staff
So far, every, facilities provided by the university are top notch be it in career services or academic fields. Totally satisfied
Great university, lots of support and amazing staff
I started recently, but I’m enjoying my experience at the university.
WiFi is okay, in general very good uni but more events could be happening especially more creative events. Also should be more societies eg arm wrestling, spontaneous society. More spontaneous activities should happen
Living off campus I rarely get to experience much campus life, however I’d like there to be more reasons to go and get involved in campus and fully maximise what it has to offer.
Great experience, had fun thanks
University is very good with a big campus for all students. Lots of different societies for students to join which are all good fun. However, the WiFi at the university is sometimes not up to speed
overall good, engineering dept has great resources and rooms on campus, course is alright, lecturers are alright
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Exeter and had an extremely positive experience with the wellbeing and support staff.
I really enjoyed studying at the University of Exeter. The campus is lovely and the staff at my department was very welcoming and kind.
Exeter is a lovely university, with great facilities and a nice welcoming atmosphere. The Penryn campus is a fantastic location, with Falmouth being perfect for a night out or a swim in the sea.
Teachers are helpful and quick to reply
really wonderful full scope of facilities and such welcoming and accommodating staff
Beautiful uni, lots of green and lots of hills.
Great Uni!! Very student friendly city as well and lots of societies + great lecturers and services by people who try their best to actually help you with your studies and progress
This place is very fantastic because everything in there is very freedom. I’ve had a really great experience living in this apartment. The facilities are excellent — the building is clean, modern, and well-maintained. The common areas, study rooms, and gym are all very convenient and make daily life much easier. My room is comfortable and everything works perfectly. One thing I really appreciate is that the apartment organizes lots of events and activities. It’s a great way to meet people, relax, and feel more connected to the community. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with any problem. Overall, it’s a comfortable, safe, and lively place to live. I’m genuinely happy with my stay here and would recommend it to anyone.
Nice campus, great sports facilities, good careers support
The most significant and transformative experience one can get!!
As a Media student, I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Exeter. The academic quality is exceptional—my supervisors are renowned scholars who offer meticulous guidance and valuable research collaborations. The Media department boasts state-of-the-art labs and a curriculum that balances theory and practice, boosting my academic and professional skills significantly. The student support is outstanding, especially for internationals—from enrollment help to academic writing workshops and career advice. The campus is beautiful, with lush greenery, and just a short walk to downtown Exeter, making daily life convenient. The diverse, friendly community and vibrant clubs helped me make global friends, fostering a strong sense of belonging. Exeter isn’t just a university; it’s a place that nurtures growth. Highly recommended for anyone seeking excellent academics and an unforgettable study abroad journey!
The facilities are brand new and complete. The surrounding environment is beautiful. The front desk service is very considerate. There are also many public facilities. It is a very suitable apartment for students to live in.
touch rugby is the best society there
Very nice uni where I have been able to enjoy a full university experience
I'm an international student at the University of Exeter, and my experience has been a mix of genuinely supportive services and areas that still need improvement. What stood out the most to me was how approachable the careers team is - whenever I needed guidance, they responded clearly and didn't make me feel rushed. It really helped me understand the UK job market better. The campus environment is also amazing for studying. There are plenty of quiet spots, and the WiFi is reliable enough for both studying and entertainment, although there are occasional weak spots during peak hours. One thing I appreciated was the number of student-led events. They're regular, well-organised, and make it much easier to meet people, especially if you're new to the UK like me. Overall, here is a place where you can grow academically and personally, as long as you make use of the services offered. It's not perfect, but it genuinely feels like the university cares about student wellbeing.
Beautiful historic campus with very modern facilities
Invaluable experience with many opportunities and staff guidance.
Perfect location, great amenities, amazing staff!
I’m having a great experience so far

Brilliant university. Very happy with my decision, can’t fault it at all.
Very God so far, a high community feel with an encouraging focus on study!
Wonderful place, the best you can find in Exeter as a student. This place brought me so much joy as well as opportunities for development and many new friends. Very recommended.
Polite and incredibly helpful staff!!
