The hills and the rain.

Unless people like that kind of thing, I'd say the hilly terrain in some parts. It can make tough walking.

It's a lovely campus in my opinion, but I realise it's the kind of place that won't appeal to everyone.

Aw I was hoping it would be sunnier in the south, than say Warwick/Durham etc.

Third term is usually fine, as is the first half of first term, but it's still touch and go even then. Don't bring an expensive umbrella as you will have to replace it frequently.

It's absolutely gorgeous weather-wise at the moment and has been for days, because I have essays in haha. I swear it hasn't rained this academic year as much as last though. It is generally a bit warmer than other places - I live just north of London and I notice it is colder when I go home!

the hills are quality once you get used to them, you work off the cheesy chips without even realising it on the way back from town. worst thing about exeter is probably the rah's, i didn't even know they existed until i came here, they're not bad people just massively ignorant and no value of money.
i had a conversation with one today who was moaning about a lack of money, i enquired why and she said she had just booked a ticket to barbados as well as the ski trip and "might go into her overdraft" - drama!!

all in all though exeter = great

Oh Jesus, my worst fear confirmed, hwo many people are there like that? Like about 20%? Maybe less? (please say less)

Less. And seriously, it's not like they do you any harm. They might be a little annoying, but it's not like they affect you in any way.

It's not that... it's jst I go to a private school at the moment, because it's one of the v. few schools that have the IB programme over here, and unfortunetally at my school 98% of people are like that and now that I'm choosing universities, I want to make sure that there are as few rah's as possible. You don't know what its liek to have so many rah's around you all the time. It really makes me ill.

Like supercat said, there's probably less than 20% of them. Please don't worry about it or make it put you off coming to Exeter, I honestly rarely come across them.
