What was really good about the experience?

The teaching was excellent! The Profs were very competent and the classes small in order to allow the best teaching and learning experience I have witnessed so far.

What could be improved?

The biggest disappointment was the university accomodation which is way to expensive for what is offered. This should definatly be improved!

The forum project finishes in May and will transform the University from the best university (work in progress) to the best university (fact)

What could be improved?

Value for money and the way the University operates, plus Exeter is quite small-minded when it comes to things to do and things on offer.

Reviewed by Ramon who studied Undergraduate Economics in 1996.

What was really good about the experience?

The Exeter experience is what the university really leverages on. Beautiful surroundings and a great mixture of city and countryside life, good weather (for the UK anyhow) coupled with great teaching and sporting facilities in an american-like campus (at Exeter city at least). If party is your middle name, you can also go out every day of the week too...

Focus more on quality rather than quantity. Remember the exponential function! Quality, quality, quality... student body, academic body, sports, etc.
