Is Exeter Uni really as posh as people say?

I've received an offer from Exeter, but come from a very working-class background and go to a comprehensive school, but after doing a little more research into the university I see so many people talking about how it's full of posh, arrogant students with rich parents alongside dead nightlife and nothing to do. I'm a very social person, but I'm worried that I won't fit in with a completely different group of people, that they'll splash loads of cash on going out and I won't have the funds to keep up, etc.

Could I get some opinions from students attending Exeter?

Thanks

I’m part of HandS (Hide and Seek Society) and GameSoc (Board Game society). I’ve had a great time as part of both, especially HandS which runs socials multiple times a week that contain a variety of ‘drama’/childhood games.
Quick edit: HandS also runs larger events each term, like Assassins, Zombies etc., as well as running Taskmaster socials every couple of weeks where people compete to complete tasks and earn points.

Holy **** a hide and seek society sounds fun as hell hahaha

hi, just a few questions with no pressure to answer just nervous about not fitting in. - How prevalent are the sporting societies there, like can u make friends if u don't do sport?- what is your judgement on the lgbt scene, like are there a lot of lgbt students? (I completely understand if u have no idea)

Sporting societies do exist, and are fairly large, but it's definitely possible to make friends if you don't do sports; making friends through your course, or through non-sport societies (of which there are many, a full list can be found here) is certainly an option, and what I did! As for the LGBTQ+ scene, from my experience (though I know other people do have varying experiences) there's a fairly active LGBTQ+ scene. Society wise, there's 2; the Queer and BAME society, and the LGBTQ+ society (whom I'm friends with the president of). Hope that helps!

thanks that certainly did help. Just a few more things if u don't mind, is it possible to do sport casually? (like if I wanted to do a sport recreationally) also, are the posh/non-posh divide noticable on campus or does everyone just get on?

Hi, I'm assuming you've already completed your first year at Exeter seeing from when you posted this. I am going into Exeter this September and share your same worries. Has it been what you expected and were your worries valid?
