You're welcome :smile: I settled in extremely well with my flat mates! One of them is now my best friend, partly because her course is very similar to mine as she takes env.science and i take geography, so we are in a lot of the same classes too. I think the accommodation people choose your flat mates carefully to make sure there are people you will get along with. My flat has 3 exeter students and 4 falmouth students, and we are all lovely :smile: I requested a quiet flat so everyone is quite peaceful in my flat but we all still go out together.


Hi Ellie, I hope you don't mind answering my question. I applied to Exeter Cornwall because it looked pretty cool and refreshingly different with the whole University experience sort of thing. But having spoken to my teachers, they're extremely skeptical about it, especially seeing as its such a new establishment and that it isn't, for the lack of a better phrase, "the proper Exeter" which I know is a bigoted garbage form their part. So I was wondering, is there any such prejudiced attached with the CC from the main campus in Exeter, and at the end of the degree, are the qualifications awarded from the the two campuses the same? Thanks in advance, :smile:

Hello, this is a problem we are still trying to face down here. Once graduated you would still graduate with a University of Exeter degree, so it wouldn't make any difference what campus you go to. At the end of the day you choose the campus for the course you prefer. There should be no difference. Some people choose to come here for slightly lower grade boundaries - however mine were exactly the same as the main campus.
The student union here are constantly trying to get our campus recognised more here as a part of Exeter. We only seem different due to being so far away from the main campus, so we tend to get less guest speakers due to the location, which we are trying to fix.
Yes it's based in Cornwall, but this doesn't make it any lower in prestige.
It's still the University of Exeter which is a top 10 university.

No a bachelors, but I would like to do a doctorate eventually so I will probably transfer to the masters :smile: I plan on going down to the campus at Easter to chat to the proffs and have a look around. So excited for that

Hey guys,

I've firmed my place for this uni now. Hopefully going to be studying applied geology there in September, and living in Glasney for the first year! Cannot wait!

Good luck in the exams people!

Well I have always loved animals and nature (as corny as that sounds) It has always been my interest and I wanted to work in that area. I did some research, completed work experience and zoology was the best option as a degree. What about you? I have been to Cornwall before as well my family has a house in Dorset so we have visited but a day trip is a bit different to uni life there. :smile:

I take it I am the only one who's doing a history related course at Cornwall?

Hey, I've put the Cornwall campus as my firm choice for BSc Environmental science and was wondering if you knew what any of the lecturers were like? And also I'm worried about what I will do in my spare time, like how far away are shops or coastal walks?
Thank you
Firmed for English Lit.
I don't mean to be a repetitive old bastard, but just to check one final time - at the end of the degree, there's no difference between a degree from Cornwall campus and a degree from the normal Exeter campus is there? I don't want to be at the mercy of bigoted employers.

No. Why would there be? It's the exact same university.

I've firmed an ABB offer for BSc/BA Geography and will be gutted if I don't make the grades because my heart's so set on there :smile: Only negative thing is the 5 hour drive down there though.

As far as I'm aware you graduate with a University of Exeter degree. Future employers won't know you attended the Cornwall campus (My sister went there)
