With over 5,900 bed spaces, our accommodation in Exeter provides something for everyone. We provide a mixture of catered and self-catered accommodation to self-contained family flats (one to three bedrooms). We offer three room types to suit budgets and preference. These are:

• Standard - with a wash basin, sharing the kitchen* and shower room with other students. (Please note in our catered accommodation 50% of our standard rooms are twin occupancy)
• En-suite - sharing the kitchen* with other students but have your own en-suite shower room in your room
• Studio - offers independent living and are self-catered only with your own kitchenette and en-suite within your room.

Visit the Accommodation website for further details about our catered and self-catered options, including virtual tours of our residences.

Conveniently located

Not all of our accommodation is located on campus, we have 30% of our self-catered undergraduate accommodation located off campus. All of our catered accommodation is located on the Streatham campus. If you are located off campus, this means:

• maximum walk of 30 minutes to your campus
• close to the city centre
• regular bus service runs between the campuses and the city centre, train and coach stations
• support from our Estate Patrol and Residence Life Teams

Accommodation Guarantee

We are able to guarantee accommodation to:

• new students entering the first year of an undergraduate programme who have firmly accepted the offer of a place at the University of Exeter*;
• Study Abroad or Erasmus students studying at Exeter for the full academic year.

We would advise you to make your application by 31 July which is our Accommodation Guarantee deadline.

* University accommodation is accommodation owned, managed or approved by the University. We are unable to guarantee you a residence on campus.

If you have Exeter as your FIRM choice, you will be able to apply for accommodation online from the middle of April for your year of entry, ready for arrival in September.

Students with a disability or medical requirement

We endeavour to make reasonable adjustments to support individuals who, due to disability, a long-term medical condition or sensory or physical impairment require adapted accommodation or a particular location to help them participate and enjoy a fulfilling university experience. We have a limited number of adapted and accessible rooms so students should apply as early as possible for their accommodation and contact AccessAbility/Wellbeing Services to discuss arrangements so that any reasonable adjustments can be implemented before a student arrives.

Prices of accommodation

Rents include all utility bills, internet and contents insurance, plus 16 meals per week in catered halls. Please refer to the self-catered and catered price lists for a breakdown of contract lengths and accommodation fees for each residence. Rents are reviewed annually and details are usually available in the Spring for your year of entry.

There around 6000 students studying here and, with over 2,000 bed spaces, there is a great community feel and access to state-of-the-art facilities. One sure way to make university life easier to adapt to is by living in university accommodation. It helps you settle in, make friends and, especially somewhere like the Penryn Campus, you’ll really start to get a feel for the place. At our Penryn Campus in Cornwall we are able to offer both catered and self-catered in our purpose-built student village on campus. We are able to offer two different types of room:

• Single occupancy en-suite with either a double bed or study-bed* and sharing a kitchen (available for both self-catered and catered)
• Shared occupancy en-suite with two study-beds* and sharing a kitchen

*Studybeds act alternatively as a single bed and a large desk area; the innovative design means there is no need to clear the desk before rotating to the bed function. 
In The Sidings accommodation, near campus, single occupancy en-suite rooms are available sharing a kitchen and living area.

Visit the Accommodation website for full details, including further images and information on how many students share a flat. For an indication of prices please see the digital guide to accommodation in Penryn.
