Hey
I'm an international student, currently trying to decide on which universities to apply to. One of these universities being Exeter, obviously.
The university seems great, and apparently the campus is really nice. Also it's supposedly one of the best universities for international students, which sounds promising! As well that Exeter has really improved in recent years and is now considered top 10-15 in the UK in general?
My question is regarding the stereotype that seem to be prominent whenever I look at Exeter, and that is that many students are considered posh or arrogant? From what I've read (i.e. from thestudentroom and general reviews) is that Exeter attracts a lot of wealthy white kids who are usually oxbridge rejects (not saying that oxbridge rejects are posh or can't be friendly)?
The idea that the majority of the people at Exeter are so-called "rahs" and posh is really putting me off Exeter, even though it seems like a great university, with a thriving international student body.
I realize that there are other posts similar to this one, but those are seemingly not from an international student's perspective.
Any replies would be appreciated!
Thanks
