University of Exeter

I would recommend Exeter University’s Business School as there were a wide range of modules that I was able to take. I liked the flexibility of choice. I think there are plenty of opportunities to engage if you put yourself out there and find them, otherwise you can end up doing the bare minimum which is a bit of a waste.

I really enjoy the inclusive campus feel, all of the classes and activities are all in one place and it always has a happy vibe. I have always enjoyed the way lessons are run, and I have been lucky enough to make some amazing friends for life there.

This university has one of the largest campuses in the UK which one can clearly notice in the first few days of freshman year. The university is split into 3 campuses in fact with the main one being Streatham campus. It is a very beautiful campus full of greenery in a small yet beautiful British town. The only downside is that the campus was constructed on a hill so for people walking from their accommodations to classes and back is quite a tiresome trek. However, as it’s located in a typical British town it has several classic pubs to relax in. It has a very large student population however, at first sight, it does not look very diverse as you will primarily bump into mainly British and Asian students. Eventually, in a few weeks you will find your own group of friends to connect with whether it be in your course or accommodations.

Exeter University seems to have a reputation of controversy surrounding it every single year, however, speaking as a minority student, I have found that there are many positives to coming here. My Law course has been challenging, but a thoroughly enjoyable one and the friends I have made on my course, and from societies I have joined throughout my time here, are ones I will keep for life. However, I will remark that the jump from first year Law to second year is quite startling and I realised I needed to be more organised to continue getting the grades I expected from myself. The facilities on campus are great, with many study spaces you can enjoy either on your own or in groups - though the library seems to be busy 24/7 so it's recommended you get a seat early on! On the whole I would recommend this University - it is situated in a city that is small enough you could walk everywhere, but not so small you would be bored all the time as there are bigger cities nearby which are just a train ride away! My learning experience has been great so far and the people I have met have been amazing.

I studied French and Italian at Exeter for four years and after graduating last year I can already say I miss uni life and my overall experience there! Exeter is a great uni to be at, the campus is lovely - there are lots of quiet places for walks in nature and the facilities are great, especially the library. There are many study spaces for both independent and group studying too. For language students, the year abroad is probably the most exciting year and Exeter really do everything they can to make the transition easy and they provide excellent and constant support when you are in your country of choice. I met wonderful people, have made friends for life, and if I could I would go back tomorrow! Good luck to all future students ?
