I've loved living in halls in my time at Exeter! Birks Grange is only a short distance from campus and means it's easy to get to all my lectures, seminars, social and sports events.
'Cardiac Hill' has certainly lived up to its nickname, and trekking up the hill every day is keeping me in shape. Living in halls has also provided me with the opportunity to meet lots of people and I couldn't have asked for nicer flatmates. I would strongly recommend halls for anyone coming to Exeter as I've had such a great experience!

My accommodation itself was really nicely set up and so once I had moved my stuff in, I felt very at home and importantly safe which is vital for somewhere you are going to be spending the next year and that helped me to enjoy my time in first year more.
