These are allocated on a first come, first served basis on receipt of your completed application for your exchange programme. Exeter is a safe, student-friendly and cycle-friendly city, with good bus routes to the university, so you could also consider sourcing accommodation outside of the city centre, which is also likely to be less expensive. For campus accommodation see here. The Accommodation Office of the university keeps a database of available rooms in the private sector. This accommodation might be a bit cheaper. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Student experiences | Previous exchange students praise the high academic quality and especially the business courses, for which Exeter is famous. The Arabic/Islamic Department gets a good review too. You’re advised to look for the small classes (max. 25 students) as these usually have the best level. Apart from that, the University knows many ‘societies’ that organize all kinds of activities for your free time. Due to the geographical location, you will be able to visit the nearby Dartmoor National park and several other cities, e.g. Bath, Bristol and London. |
