The 'I'm Coming to Exeter' Thread

its clearly the place to be for law...also funny story i went down to the uni this saturday (it was all closed) but just wanted to have a 'butchers' of where im going and i ended up in a solicitors conference that exeter was holding to encourage grad recruitment....there were some big names there, mills and reeves, hogan lovells ect

Ooh very nice I'm surprised so many people are going to Exeter for law cz from where I come from people think it's A BIT far, so they've been put off from applying :/ Anyways I've decided St.Germans, Rowe and Birks Grange! Finally haha. What about you??

i do not see distance as to much of an issue...also i think the fact the campus is actually quite nice is why people are prepared to travel even though there are many other very good straight A universities for law. Holland hall hopefully for moi and then exeter halls but not sure which on ...im hoping the fact that I have an unconditional will bank my place at holland early (also got to have a view room as the view is one of the main reasons you go to that block).... are there any clubs at all in exeter...i went there a few days ago and all i saw were pubs...nice pubs...but thats it???

Economics!

who else is joining me??

I'm doing it too. Have you applied for accomodation yet?

Unfortunately you can't request a room with a view when choosing your accommodation...so you'll just have to get what you're given, like everybody else!

yes you can....there is a drop down list of preferences when you apply and it asks if you have applied to holland hall and if you want to pay extra for a room with a view...and i put yes ..????that was a very weird objection btw...perhaps you should re-read the application for accom ??/

Well I just thought you sounded a bit precious, that's all.
Anyway, I don't need to re-read the application for accomodation, I graduated from Exeter last year, so I've been there and done that, and I would have no idea about the preferences for Holland Hall because I "slummed it" in Lafrowda and loved every second for about £100 per week less than Holland. I thought rooms with a view were allocated on a random basis, and that was probably the case a few years ago, instead of giving people the option to pay extra. Seems that Exeter has found another way to make money out of people with cash to burn

no i need to, have you?
whats your offer?

Yeah i've applied already. I'm on a gap year and have already done my a levels so I received an unconditional

*precious-have absolutely no idea why you have described me as valuable??wrong context of word maybe?
I told you to re-read so you could avoid making ignorant comments on TSR, also if you had no idea on applying to holland why bother to comment in the first place. Holland Hall has a really nice view thats why i would like a room with a view... these are not difficult concepts to grasp. I really do not care where you stayed, an actual university applicant asked me where i had applied for accom, so I told them...why did you take this as an invitation to put in a wrong viewpoint and then highlight the fact that im burning money on a room with a view, bare in mind this was a personal choice and the extra cost is marginal. I dont think the exeter degree has done you any favours

It has done me some favours..if only because I understand the meaning of "precious" in that context.

Clearly you need some more education, so enjoy your time at Exeter and do listen in lectures.

No comment on Holland, my bad for assuming that things had stayed the way they were when I applied.

Yeah i've applied already. I'm on a gap year and have already done my a levels so I received an unconditional

coming in october for business management with marketing
