Why Exeter Is the Hidden Gem of UK Student Cities
Exeter might not be the biggest city, but it’s one of the most loved by students — and for good reason. With a world-class university, stunning scenery, and a welcoming student community, Exeter is a place where studying feels genuinely special.
1. A Perfect Balance of City and Countryside
In Exeter, you get the best of both worlds. The city centre is compact and lively, within dependent shops, cafés, and bars — but Dartmoor National Park and the Devon coastline are just a short train ride away.
2. The Student Buzz
More than a quarter of Exeter’s population are students, giving the city a vibrant, youthful energy. Whether it’s a night out at Timepiece or a relaxed evening at The Terrace rooftop bar, there’s always something going on.
3. Academic Excellence
The University of Exeter is part of the prestigious Russell Group, known for high academic standards and strong employability. Combine that with an inspiring setting, and you’ve got the ideal study environment.
