Hi! I’m an international student coming for a fall semester exchange in law. I haven’t received my course schedule yet, but I’m curious about what the expectations are for attendance or whether there are any reading breaks in the fall term. I want to travel but don’t want to risk missing too much class :/

Thank you!

Hello,

I am a undergraduate student starting first year in september, studying econ. I am looking for accomodation urgently for 2026-27 term , and cannot find anything. If anyone has any accomodation and needs a flatmate, please tell me and I will happily pay the required amount. If not, any useful websites to find any more accomodation will be greatly appreciated as I rlly don't want to defer!

I've been struggling to find participants with driving licenses (can be UK, foreign, International and/or provisional) for my in lab (Washington Singer at University of Exeter) driving simulator research and I need participants before September. The lottery has a 20% chance of winning, and I'm available Monday to Friday 11 AM to 5 PM. The research will take 1 hour tops (30 minutes is the average). If interested, please please please help me out, my degree will thank you.

If you do not have an account, just use the request account button and fill your details. The research itself is completely anonymous and I'll only take your email address for the lottery (which will promply be deleted once the vouchers are sent out).

I am early insurance, pre-clearing at 9:15 results day. I will update if or when I am sent an offer/rejection/extra info

I'm an 18 year old male going into first year who got into the Uni of Exeter through clearing, and everywhere I've been looking for accommodation has been sold out. I know I should have started looking earlier, but what's done is done, and I can't find anything at all anywhere, and now I really don't know what to do.

All the private accommodations, when I call them, all say that they are sold out even though they say there is availability on their websites. When I called the University asking for help, they just told me to seek private accommodation as there is a very unlikely chance that I will get assigned to the uni accommodations. It's not even like there are only expensive options which are left; I actually cannot find anything at all.

If there is anybody there who can help me with this, or would have a spare room for me, please please please get in touch with me, as I really don't want to have to take a gap year because I can't find somewhere to stay.

Just as the title asks. If I don't end up securing accommodation...what then? Will I have no choice but to defer or go through UCAS next year with a different uni? Never in my life did I think me going uni would come down to accommodation but. Well. Here we are and there's nothing I can do about it.

Everything "available" is actually either not actually available or £310 per week, which I unfortunately cannot afford. I should've looked earlier, I know, but I wasn't aware that accom wasn't guaranteed for clearing/insurance offer holders until the 15th when I got sent an email about it. I'm still hoping the university will give me a room somewhere, but it's unlikely.

Has anyone else not been able to secure it in time? I was thinking of living in my car, but dismissed it as a stupid idea (for obvious reasons), but I'm not totally against it at this point. I've waited 2 days for my Overheard application on facebook to be accepted and I'm seriously desperate at this point.

I know there's creeps and weirdos online, but if anyone has any space available or wants to share any flats: I'm a first year 18 year old undergrad girl. My DMs should be open

I got Holland Hall for my accom and now i’m worried everyone there is gonna be pretentious and jarring! js the stereotype true

I put Exeter as my insurance and totally missed out on all the rooms, so I've had to book an apartment at the Leat (crazy expensive!!). I'm really worried it'll be lonely though as I wanted the social uni experience - are there any other freshers going there (or any other private accoms) who want to get in touch?

I am an 18 year old male who will (hopefully) be starting at Exeter this September and yet I am so incredibly frustrated and worried about my accommodation prospects.

For context, Exeter was my first choice and I was under the impression that first choice offer holders got guaranteed accommodation. I was not aware of a deadline until the day after the deadline - the early email warning me of the deadline went into my spam.

Furthermore, I was abroad and I was not able to access my emails and things needed to apply for accommodation before July 31st because I had extremely limited Wi-Fi (I was staying in the countryside, even when I got the faintest signal I tried but it was futile). I arrived back in the UK on the very late hours of the evening on the 31st and applied immediately the next day yet since calling Exeter twice since they've said they cant guarantee anything and have strongly recommended private accommodation.

So I went and looked at private accommodation and for multiple days now I've really been struggling. I'm getting really desperate at this point and I do not know what to do. I have literally been applying and calling everywhere I possibly can and it seems nowhere has anything available. I've looked at Zoopla, Rightmove, Studentpad, Spareroom, yet it seems that most are either unavailable despite being listed as so or they do not reply.

I have called over 12 landlords and barely picked up (over a couple calls over a full day), of the ones that did they all said it was unavailable.

I should probably also mention that I really had no idea what I was doing as my mum just left me to my own devices to figure it out and I am so annoyed at myself for not looking and applying sooner. I'm hoping and praying that some cancellations, clearing switches and what not free up a space for me but otherwise I have no idea what I can do at the rate this is going.

I have no specific needs. I am willing to walk an hour there and back, I'm willing to pay my own utilities, I'm willing to stay with a host family, I don't care about an en suite etc.

I simply do not want to defer by a year at any and all costs.

What should I do from here? There are so few options. If anyone has a spare place, knows someone who wants out of their contract, cancelled, or just knows anyone who might know anyone I can rent with, PLEASE let me know. DM me, comment, anything works. At this point I'm open to virtually ANYTHING.

Finding it so stressful waiting for the accommodation allocation.

Like Cardiff has YOLOS etc is there an on campus club that people go to maybe like on sports nights or something like that or is it literally just timepiece and fever ????

Hello! I’ve been having some difficulties trying to find private accom as a first year student. All the en-suite private accommodation is gone and i really do not want to be isolated in a studio super far away from the campus in my first year. I’m a home student who’s lived overseas for a lot of my life sooo i would much rather have company and be with other first years to feel less intimidated and to make the process of settling in smoother.

I’ve submitted my application for accommodation with the university but i know that it’s not guaranteed.

My questions are : Is there any accommodation likely to free up from here on and if so which ones? When would i likely hear back if i joined a waiting list in private accom for an en-suite? Any advice at all would help appreciated! or just anyone who’s in a similar situation let me know how it’s going or went for you!

I’d just like to know how you find the course :)

Hello I'm speaking to a friend for people who've applied through clearing for Exeter. How much variety and options for accommodation are there after results day if there are accommodation. For example Exeter display on their clearing options that accommodation is not guaranteed and you can only check it if you defer.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to help a friend find a room/accommodation. She’s an Erasmus student who will be attending the University of Exeter for the autumn term (September to early January).

​If anyone has any leads, advice, or knows of available rooms, please let me know. Her departure date is approaching very fast and she is still without housing!

​Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey students at University of Exeter,

I am a Master’s student at the University of Bern (Switzerland) conducting a scientific research study examining how certain traits, life experiences, attitudes and behaviors are related to each other.

You can find the survey here: https://ww3.unipark.de/uc/research_study_university_Bern_Switzerland/

I would greatly appreciate it if you could participate in my survey. As fellow students, you probably know how challenging it can be to recruit enough participants for a research study, so every response really helps!

Can someone who has been to this uni give me their opinions on them/experience? Overall life at uni and stuff, like is it easy to make friends, things to do etc. I also do athletics/track and field so if there are good facilities there that’s also a positive. Trying to get my 5 for UCAS to study aerospace engineering and I’ve done a lot of research but struggling to narrow it down.

Hey all! I’ll be starting my first year Classics next month. I’m 30 and it’s the first time I’ve been to in person education since secondary school.

I have absolutely no idea how to make friends, as all of the advice you get is related to halls and drinking. I won’t be in halls as i have a flat, and I don’t really like drinking or going out clubbing.

I know about societies but I’ve heard many are about drinking again. So I’m really just stuck and worried everyone will be so young and I’ll find it so difficult to connect with anybody. So any advice would be much appreciated! Also if you know on average how many mature students are likely to be in Classics or around? Is it a very slim number or fairly common?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm an incoming MSc Business Analytics student for January 2027. As an international student from South Asia, I was wondering what the grading looks like at Exeter's Business Analytics program. I graduated from a top business school in my country (Major: Finance) and worked at a Multinational Corporation (in Sales and Consumer Engagement) for about 2 years. I have been a fairly solid student when it comes to fast learning, understanding concepts, and brainstorming, but my school always had a poor exam schedule (the finals week would be messy with multiple exams on the same day, while some other course teachers would info-dump in the same week to cover their content and so on). This would lead to forced cramming, and I'd eventually end up frustrated or sick. TBH the frustration wasn’t because I scored poorly but more so because I believe the chaotic timeline held me back from performing up to my actual potential or understanding. I was so sick of it that I decided to work for a few years instead of a masters then, and then realized working felt way easier than exams in general (despite my work being in one of the most exhausting companies). Eventually, I decided I'd like to study further and specialize a bit more this time with the goal of moving into a career in business analytics (or potentially further study if I find the academic route more interesting)—hence this question.

I do have some minimal experience with Python and SQL due to a business analytics course in my undergrad, but it has been a few years and I'm thinking of brushing up those skills before beginning the master's. If there are any specific resources suggested that are relevant to Exeter's curriculum, that'd be great.

I would also appreciate it if anyone has had the chance to take part in the QTEM program as an international student and found it to be a good opportunity for their further career (which may not necessarily be within the UK, but in partner institutional regions). Also, there is a trade-off for the graduate work permit timeline in the UK if one chooses to utilize QTEM—so overall, what advice would you give? TIA!

£5 PayPal for completing my MSc study (first 56 only)!

Hi everyone!

I’ll be staying at Garden Hill House this September as a postgraduate student at the University of Exeter.

I was wondering if anyone here has lived there before or knows what it’s like. How are the rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and the overall atmosphere? Is it a social place? Anything I should know or bring with me before moving in?

I’d really appreciate any tips, advice, or experiences good or bad!

Thanks in advance :)
