Hi. I am concerned that you say that you 'don't feel safe'. I know that you have requested a room move but think that you should contact one of the residence life team leaders (http://www.exeter.ac.uk/accommodation/contact/residencelifeteam/) and set up a meeting and talk through your safety concerns.
The likelihood of moving is impossible to judge as it will depend on the exact requirements you have requested and the situation there so I am afraid I cannot answer that part of your post.
But please do contact the resi life team above as your safety is of the utmost importance.
Kind regards
Karen

Is my accommodation covered by the residence life team as I am off campus and online it says that they only do certain rooms where I'm staying???

Within a few weeks there will be people who drop out of uni and so spare rooms in other accommodations will crop up. I know someone who had to share a room for the first few days, then the other person moved out to an ensuite room in an adjoining accommodation. Then the original person moved rooms again to be nearer people they knew in the second term. But Exeter is generally very safe - is it the location you are worried about or the people you are living with?

Good morning,

Which accommodation are you in? I cannot properly advise without knowing as I would not want to give you the wrong information.

In the meantime, if you haven’t already I would recommend getting in touch regardless as there is no harm in asking and I am sure they will help if they can. By emailing them you can arrange to meet a Residence Life tutor; alternatively the website mentions that you can attend a drop in session if you would prefer to raise any concerns you have that way. Once they know what your concerns are they can look at ways to help you.

I hope this helps- do get in touch if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope that this is sorted for you soon.

If you have ‘been allocated’ a room after applying for accommodation through the uni then it is likely that you are in a ‘nominated’ room. Guessing you are concerned that there is an asterix by your accommodation name on that website. That may be because those accommodations are not university run but by private companies and some rooms may have been taken on privately, not by applying through the uni. I would have thought you would be ok to refer to the residence life team.

I agree with Hugh's Swan- but if you would like me to check so you can be certain I am happy to do so. I will just need to know your accommodation. Please DM us if you would prefer.
