Exeter and Exeter Cornwall Campus - What's the difference?

When it snowed I was like WTF snow in Cornwall!! Was fun though and a good chance to try out my new camera, was speaking to Charlie on the tuesday morn when we had it and he said he had never seen snow that deep, and then when everyone pulled surf/body boards from no where and went sledging on them down by the path to Penryn.

cornwall campus is grotty =/
i hated it when i went to visit.
i drove 5 hours to get there and only stayed 3 hours.
call me a snob but no way am i paying 33 grand for 3 years to study at a grimy place like that

technically, TECHNICALLY, there is no difference in education standards because they fall under the same umbrella of the University of Exeter, and as we all know, Sexeter is the bee's knees.

however, the Cornwall Campus is located in a not-such-a riotous location, Falmouth or something like that? all i'm saying is if you're slightly more of a city/clubs kinda person, then real Exeter's the place to be. it's fun, come come come.

Technically? ....Would you like to expand? There obviously is no difference in teaching standards as for a start we share a lot of lectures, there are fewer students in Tremough so smaller class / lab sizes which is generally acknowleged to be beneficial for learning and the location is completely great considering the nature of courses down here, especially sciences where theres a lot of field trips & conservation voluntary work.
You've obviously never been to the Cornwall campus if you dont know quite where it is! but yess Falmouth, which okay isnt quite as riotous as Exeter (no ones gonna argue with that!!) but we certainly do still have a good nightlife here, plus beaches and lovely places soo close to campus - the social life isn't lacking at all - i think anywhere where theres a load of uni students on campus is going to have a social scene & Cornwall is no exception!

of course i haven't been, Cornwall and i don't get on.. long story..
but yeh was just my opinion was all, Exeter suits me more as a person than Cornwall could, was a pretty throwaway comment though aha.

oh please tell

ahaha.. NO.

how far are both campuses from the sea?

silly question perhaps.

Just out of interest why would you consider the place to be bad? specifically I really can't understand the use of the 2 bold words above to describe a campus which is 5 years old.

CC is very close, you've got the Falmouth beaches like Castle and Gylly just a couple miles, and a bit more of a trek to the Newquay beaches (which are some of the best beaches in the world! and absolutely wonderful)

Exeter... dunno. But any beaches there just wouldn't compare to the ones on the North coast of Cornwall.

How far away is Truro on the bus? I heard it has all the major facilities/shops like Topman, River Island etc.

Also, what do people do for part-time jobs? Does anyone go to Truro for them?

Truro is only 9 miles away although its mostly fairly twisty roads, in a car i can do it in <15mins, bus takes 30mins for a couple of pounds IIRC, you could also take the train which leaves basically from the bottom of campus to Truro, 15 minute ride for about £1.50.

Truro is the only city near, but it is not big at all, but it does have all the usual shops. Admittedly I don't know too many people with part time jobs but I don't know anyone who goes to Truro to work mainly i presume because you would waste a good % of your money getting there and back.

I've looked on your profile and I can't seem to see a web address?

Just regarding accommodation, when do you usually apply and is it online?

Also are you allowed a mini-fridge in your room?

Thanks.
