What's it actually like to study at Exeter university? What is the nightlife like?

Nightlife's fairly present, although you have to face the fact that there's only so few clubs out there if you're the clubbing type. However, there is almost always stuff to do, parties in the halls, pub raids (I can't really call them crawls) and even the odd dare to go into the King Billy for first year students. In addition, societies host their own events, so I don't think you need to be worried there.

Are the clubs far away from the campus?
Any advice on what accommodation to choose?

Don't come to Exeter expecting it to be as busy as a huge city as Leeds/London/Bristol/Newcastle. There is somewhere to go every night and it'll be guaranteed to be busy with students as everyone goes to the same places, but there's not the choice of a large city and expect to be walking home at 3am at the latest!

I however really like it, I love that you're guaranteed to see people you know every night and I love that we know exactly where to do and where will be good etc. But it does get repetitive as we end up going on the same nights each week!

There is a bit of a range but not that of a big city. you've got the normal Timepiece/Arena/Mosaic clubs in town and then Lemmy on campus (sat nights only- students do not venture into town on a sat night its for locals!), then Cellar Door for more alternative taste... then bars (Monkey Suit/Walkabout/etc)... ok there are probably places i've forgotten but there is a bit of a range for different tastes but you will find yourself going to the same places on the same nights each week - not that this is often a bad thing!

Depending on which accommodation you pick town isn't far away. Lafrowda/Exeter Halls about 10 min walk, Birks/Holland 20-25min - but anyone sane gets a taxi in winter from Birks which is about £7 for a taxi of 6 so normally max £1.50 each. you'll walk home though!

I currently study at Exeter. The university is great! The nightlife however is a massive disappointment to me, clubs close at 2:30-3am which for me is rubbish. Other cities their clubs close at 6-7am. Just depends what your into, a lot of societies have their own nights so if your into that its great but for clubbing its crap if your into an all nighter like me.

This was extremely helpful thank you! Which accommodation would you say is the most social? I really want to go to Holland Hall and was wondering if they host many events. And also how many people per floor or per flat in the halls share for catered? Do you tend to stick with the people from your own floor or does everyone in the same flat socialize together?
