Exeter Private Accommodation

Hi! I got into Exeter Uni as my insurance choice for psychology, however the uni emailed me yesterday confirming that they will not be able to offer accom at all, and to begin to look privately. I had already been looking anyway because I thought this would happen, and I was wondering if anyone who has stayed in any of these accoms could give me some views on them because there is not much info online.

Northernhay house
Clifton Place
King Edward Studios
Printworks

Location wise I have kind of accepted I will be nearer city centre (which I am happy with), but also I'm interested in the socialising opportunities for all of these, especially as a first year, as I am very keen to make friends :smile:

Thank you! x

Hi! Clifton place is only 10min walk to the psychology building compared to the other ones u have mentioned. There is quite a few first years staying here including myself!

Hey I’m doing psych as well! Both me and my friend are first years in Clifton place in the townhouses and we’re super looking forward to it. Not sure about the others, but it seems more affordable for what you get. There’s a really great YouTube video for it if you want to see the facilities!

Yes I stayed in Printworks third year but I would say it is mostly second or third years that stay there - and it is a bit further from the main Streatham campus. So I would probably recommend places closer to main campus as that is where most your lectures would be/society stuff etc

Hi, I'm doing English and History but I have a room booked at Clifton place. It looks like one of the better accommodations that had 44 week contracts and there seems to be other first years as well.

guys I need some advice... I am currently holding 2 rooms and I need to decide which one I want before 5pm tomorrow. I either opt for a studio room at Birks Grange or an en-suite at Cricket Field Court, which should I go for?!
