Cost of living in Exeter? Please Help!
Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding how much one needs to budget for spending money. Having gone to university in Canada, I know how much per week I need to get by (in terms of food, laundry, transport, entertainment, etc. etc), but I have no idea how much the cost of living is in Exeter. Any rough ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's something i need to start thinking about myself but all i can really tell you is that its more expensive than where i currently live which is in the north west of england.
not much help, but hopefully someone will have a better answer :-)

Are you going to be in uni accommodation? If so, self-catered or catered? Because catered includes laundry/food/insurance. If not or you're in self-catered I believe you can get by on about £20 a week for food. I'm not sure about laundry though.
As for entertainment, it's a tough one because it depends how much you go out. Entry to clubs is generally around £3 I believe, some you can get free entry before a certain time. And then obviously everyone goes on student nights so lots of drink deals!
Transport you won't need to spend much; Exeter is pretty small so you can pretty much walk everywhere. However you might get taxis on a night out. Although one of the clubs has a courtesy bus so it's free to get home (if you live in halls).

Exeter is (according to something published a short while ago) one of the most expensive cities in the UK. It's not as bad as London and the South East, but a lot more expensive than the rest of England and probably most of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland too. Accommodation ranges from about £60 a week (cheapest self catered) to about £140 a week (most expensive catered) so it depends where you live. If you're in self catered, food won't cost more than about £20 a week if you shop at Tesco and look for the special offers, and laundry currently costs £1.70 per wash and £1 per tumble dry. You won't need transport much because Exeter is small as far as cities go, so you'll usually walk everywhere, but a bus into town for shopping won't be more than about £1.50 and taxis are cheap if you share with friends (although they're also quite hard to get and extremely unreliable!) As for entertainment, I wouldn't really know because I don't go out much, but as long as you don't go mad on the drink, go somewhere cheap like the Imperial and don't go out every night, it shouldn't be too bad.
