Has to be said
Welcome to the University of Exeter forum: where prospective and current students can discuss everything from what it is like to be in Teletubby Land to walking up Cardiac Hill, from being at a campus university to the shopping.

Re: Has to be saidI definitely can, see, I adored Nottingham's campus, but wasn't sure about the distance away from home (5 hours) and the city's reputation (I know, it's bad to base decisions etc...But I'm a bumpkin and proud!), I hadn't been to Exeter for one reason and another, but honestly, I loved it! From the second I got off the bus (at the wrong stop and had to walk 300 miles up a hill in the pouring rain
Devon rain), thought it was so green.
Which Birks Grange block are you in? I have a friend in umm, Block A and another in Block C (I think), is Block C the wing on the right hand side as you walk down those metal stairs into the "quad" bit by the entrance?
Just really hope they accept me. Applying whilst on a gap year is so nerve wracking! -

Re: Has to be saidWith the rain, the algee has stopped looking like a putting green, and the pond (its jsut before the Laver building which is jsut in front of the harrison building as you come from the peter chalk center) now looks like a pond(Original post by Aphrodite)
Cornwall is my true love
But I've kinda adopted Exeter into Cornwall Im half cornish 
Exeter has the most amazing views ever! I even love that little green pond =D (the little one past Harrison Building when youre heading towards the theatre ) Im glad Im not the only one who can see hteirselves living there

Re: Has to be saidno, no, I can happily look back on many nights of bolting it followed by a slurred EG. Fortunately now that Freshers week is over, we're rarely ordered to bolt it fresh, which my liver is pretty damn grateful for. You Lukies are a strange bunch, though. Streatham campus would certainly be a more interesting place if you all invaded it.(Original post by J19872)
one reply does not represent the general consenus...I can imagine it now all of you jiff staring into the screen thinking "wtf is EG!?" All in good time my main campus friends, all in good time
And Lady_Muck, I am in C block but I think it's B block you're thinking of... C block is on the left when you come down the stairs. They're pretty much mirror images of one another though, I think. Birks doesn't quite have the soul of, say, Mardon, but it is certainly a nice place to live... -

Re: Has to be saidThe campus is lovely and the city's really nice as well. It rains far too much and there are far too many hills
but other than that, it's great! You've already picked up on the 'Travel Lodge' nickname for Birks Grange, I see! It is nice, but, like all accommodation here, ridiculously expensive.

Re: Has to be saidOmg yes it rains sooo much! I've never had this many thunderstorms! Theyre amazing fun though. Got slightly soaked last night in our water fight
I dont mind the hills too much cos I can feel the progress my calves are making...theyre gonna be rock solid after this year I know it!
