Those look like relatively different courses at different unis - which course and uni are you leaning towards?
Hello isabella393,

Congratulations on your offer from the University of Exeter! My name is Sophie and I am final year student at Exeter and I am more than happy to give you a little flavour of Exeter.

Firstly, I am not sure if you are aware but Exeter is a campus uni which means we have anything and everything you could possibly need on campus, from a pub, coffee shops, food shops and even a doctors. Not only this but although everything you could need is on campus, our town is about a 15 minute walk away and just a train away we have the most amazing beaches which are perfect for final term and cheeky BBQs. The beach was definitely a huge selling point for me whilst I was choosing between my options! We also have a quay which is perfect all year round and about a 30 minute walk away, its a brilliant spot for walks, a quick coffee and there is a few pubs down there! I would definitely recommend a picnic on the green too overlooking the Cathedral- which hosts our magical Christmas markets!
We also have a huge range of societies you can join at Exeter, from the likes of Quidditch soc and Swift Soc, to sports and subject societies, the list is almost endless. Plus you can even make your own society if you find enough people that would want to join- how cool!

Secondly, I would also recommend to have a look at the courses at both uni's, as the compulsory and optional modules may differ! At Exeter, we offer modules based on our lectures/professors research areas and this of course varies from uni to uni. I would advise you to have a look here to find out more, or you may also want to speak with a current student here.

Hope this helps- I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Best,
Sophie, University of Exeter Student Ambassador
