Rent freeze for 2013/14
The University of Exeter is pleased to announce that, after working closely with the Students' Guild, over 3000 bedrooms will have their rents frozen for the 2013/14 academic year.
We are committed to offering value for money accommodation and supporting student hardship issues, and more than 800 bedrooms will see their rents decrease, taking the number of bedrooms with rents below £100 per week to 750.
Rents will start at £98 per week.
Competition Winners
The lucky winners of three iPads were drawn by Tricia Punchard, Assistant Director (Residences) on Wednesday 31 October. Students who had registered their interest in University accommodation at the Housing Roadshow in January 2012 and subsequently taken up accommodation this year were entered into the draw for the iPads which were presented to George Fishwisk, Angela Nemeth and Yan Qiu.

Cleaning guide
The University has a Cleaning guide offering cleaning tips and advice. This has been created to help you keep your accommodation and communal facilities to high standard of cleanliness.
The weekly Cleaning guide rota template is highly recommended. Print off copies and use them to help plan the week ahead.
Heating in residences
Heating in University residences will usually be switched on between October and May (subject to extreme temperatures).
The heating system is controlled to ensure the University avoids energy wastage and to minimise emissions of carbon dioxide, a key global warming gas. It also keeps heating costs, which are reflected in hall fees, to a minimum.
A Residence Heating Guide is available.
