What our students say
"When I was in my junior year of high school, I had the opportunity to go to England to look at universities. I fell in love with Exeter immediately. Not only were the people friendly, but they also completely supported my dream of becoming a writer without blinking - something I had never experienced. The cherry on top is that Exeter is set in a beautiful location. When I'm out with friends, we picnic on Cathedral Green, and if I want to go on a walk, there's plenty of natural places all over in which I can immerse myself in nature. By now, it's starting to feel like a second home."
Eleanor, from the USA, studying BA English and Creative Writing
