Student life

Accommodation

Starting university can be daunting, but living in university accommodation gives you a great way to settle in and make friends quickly. All of our accommodation offers a safe and secure community in which you can start your university career. In recent years we have made a multi-million pound investment in the building of new accommodation on all our campuses, which are designed to the highest standard and complement our existing residences.

At our campuses in Exeter we have something for everyone, from catered halls and self-catered accommodation, to self-contained family flats. Visit the Accommodation website for full details, including virtual tours of our halls and self-catering residences [new window].

At our Cornwall Campus we are able to offer self-catered accommodation in our purpose-built student village on campus. Please see the Cornwall Campus Accommodation page.

Conveniently located

All of our accommodation is either on the campuses or a maximum of a 30-minute walk away. That means you’re close to central teaching buildings and sports facilities as well as the campus social spaces, shops, restaurants and bars so you won’t be wasting your time or money on commuting. In Exeter, much of our accommodation is also conveniently located for the city centre.

Guaranteed

All new students entering the first year of an undergraduate programme who have firmly accepted the offer of a place at the University of Exeter and who have applied for accommodation by the advertised deadline will be guaranteed an offer of a place in University accommodation.*
