Default What's Exeter like? :D
 
Extremely doubtful that I'll get an offer, and if I do then it's extremely unlikely that I'll meet the offer!
But still what's it like studying at the University of Exeter?
Tell us the highs and lows!

Hmm...I'm not a student there, but I know someone who is and they love it. I've been down to visit lots and the campus is one of the nicest i've seen. It seems a really student friendly city, and even though it is a city, there is a sense of calm and peace about it which I like. Also, all the first year accommodation i've seen was really nice!

Just thought you might want an outsider's point of view.
Good luck, hope you get in! =D

Maaaan, you've done it wrong.

Title should be: Why should I come to Exeter.

And post should be: Well, why should I?

(Presuming I get an offer, that is...)

Current students answer please


Fix it plzkthnx.

Heh posts by me but I really want to know where I'm aiming for if you see what I mean.
No, I haven't been to Exeter, I've only been to one of my unis (Birmingham). Obviously if I get an offer I'll definitely visit

The city is awesome I go to the college rather than the uni but it still applies.. sort of. Cathedral Green is where it's at Or Rougement/Northernhay Gardens if you want to get stabbed. Which is a pity because they're so pretty A couple of sweet camera shops and a very good town center. Book shops are also plentiful if you know where to look.

Oh, and wave if you see a loon in a battered green Land Rover with 20 or so teenagers packed inside - it'll be me

Now you say that I do recall a conversation with someone who loved V For Vendetta... What did we talk about? I apologise for my awful memory.
