The Students’ Union looks busy on the surface with lots of societies and events, but in reality I didn’t feel represented or supported. Because of my nursing placements I could rarely attend anything, and there was very little understanding of how professional courses miss out on “normal” SU life. ...

I enjoyed my first term and the campus/city itself has the potential to offer a good “uni life”. However, once placements started I could barely take part in anything. I was constantly travelling, exhausted and away from campus, which meant I missed out on societies, friendships and the normal stude...

There was a lot of emphasis on “professionalism” but ...

University of Exeter open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
