Living in Exeter

Exeter has a population of 119,600 (Mid-2010 Population Estimates. ONS, Crown Copyright) and is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the UK.

A safe, student-friendly city with a vibrant and fun culture and relaxed atmosphere, most new students find that Exeter is not a particularly expensive city in which to live, and that you can enjoy a relatively high standard of living. Both our campuses are within walking distance of the city centre.

Exeter’s popularity as a growing business centre means the city is weathering the current economic climate better than some cities. Unemployment is below the national average and the University has been awarded nearly half a million pounds by the Economic Challenge Investment Fund to invest in the local economy, thereby supporting businesses and individuals in the region during the economic downturn.
