Ways to Wellbeing - Exeter campuses
Before you even start at Exeter, you will be able to let the University know if and how to support you academically and in your accommodation. From requesting ILPs to acquiring funded support, the University is here to help with whatever support you might need. Exeter also provides a service called AccessAble, which offer advice and assistance to students with disabilities and health conditions in order to get the most out of their time studying here.
Ways to Wellbeing on Penryn campus
First up, the Wellbeing Services at Exeter are a real standout. They’ve got it all – from one-on-one counselling sessions to a bunch of resources like podcasts, workshops, and evening group meetings. You should definitely check out their website. The team there is super approachable and really committed to helping you succeed not just academically, but in all aspects of your health. If things ever get too much, the Wellbeing Centre is the place to go. Plus, they offer a 24/7 support line during term time, so you’re only ever a phone call away from help!
Here’s what I’ve learnt from being a chronically ill student at the University of Exeter
Aside from managing a chronic condition, university can be a really difficult adjustment – homesickness, academic pressure and housing can all mount up and cause a lot of anxiety for students. The staff at Exeter have been a great source of support for me – from wellbeing services for creating my ILP, to my academic tutor and my seminar leaders in being so understanding of my last-minute seminar bails.

Managing change in university life
Exeter offers excellent wellbeing services if you are ever struggling to adjust. Almost every university student will experience homesickness from time to time, but hopefully, with the right kind of support, it’s something you can overcome and look back on knowing it was just a small blip in what was a great time at uni. Wellbeing check-ins are really easy to book online via the Student Information Desk (SID) which is followed up with whatever you need, according to what you are struggling wit,h whether it is CBT, talk therapy, or counselling, someone is there for you and you do not have to go through anything alone.
