    INTO Exeter accommodation
    Hello everyone,

    I'm from Singapore and I'll be studying in INTO exeter this coming september. Just curious (and excited) to ask - does anyone know which halls are specifically for INTO students like me? Because I've noticed that students from the uni itself are given halls like Birk and Northfield and such. Just wondering for my first year in INTO, which accommodation will I most probably be getting?? Does anyone here have an idea? Any information provided will be much appreciated thank you (:

    This website will give you plenty of information - http://www.intohigher.com/uk/en-gb/o...mmodation.aspx
    As far as I'm aware, Duryard has just been renovated, so all of the rooms are nice and modern!

    It doesn't say on the website that Duryard's for INTO students, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere else that it is.
    Ooh, from Exeter's website:
    "Duryard Halls of Residence
    On the far edge of the Streatham Campus on the former Duryard site, 517 residential units have been built for INTO. Various types of room are spread across five blocks, with inter-connecting public spaces to create a community atmosphere. The residential development offers bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, shared kitchen, laundry and communal areas. There is also plenty of provision for bicycles. The first block was completed at the end of 2010, while the remainder were handed over in May 2011."

    I think the best thing to do would to email either INTO or Exeter's Accommodation service and ask about applying if you haven't been specifically given any instructions.
