Halls Of Residence At The University Of Exeter

The first day I arrived in halls I thought I was in a hotel! I was put in Pennsylvania Court, more commonly known as 'Penny C' amongst the students. The bedrooms were amazing, there was a large cupboard, a huge desk, shelves, chest of draws, mini fridge, en-suite shower-room and toilet, and a double bed, yes a double bed in student accommodation, almost unheard of!! A cleaner came round the rooms every week to give them a good clean and if you had any other queries the porter in Lopes Halls was always to hand. It was catered accomodation which meant we got breakfast and dinner included in the price per week. The food wasnt great but the ease of ...  Read the complete review

I am studying at the University of Exeter's Cornwall Campus and in the first year (I am now in my third) I was a resident of Glasney Parc, the halls of residence of the Tremough Campus. The campus has all been built within the last five years or so, and so along with the academic areas of the site all the accomodation is virtually new. I was in what is now the older blocks, as new blocks were under construction whilst I was there, but even though it was old it was still under 5 years old. Each room consisted of a double bed, an ensuite bathroom and lots and lots of storage space, and yet the room was still spacious and there was no impression ...  Read the complete review

Today saddened me somewhat, for the very last time I closed and locked the door of my room at Pennsylvania court. For those who don't know, Pennsylvania court or "Penny C" as it is colloquially known, is one of the three catered luxury halls on the Exeter Campus and in my opinion is much better than either of the others. Rooms in Pennsylvania Court come with a double bed, en suite (with mira power shower), central heating and many even have a balcony. To top it off Pennsylvania Court is less than fifteen minutes away from town and most lecture theatres. When I read the accommodation prospectus this sounded to me like student heaven, I could roll out of bed at ...  Read the complete review

I resided in small halls just outside St Lukes Campus. I was a trainee teacher which was intense therefore I needed calmness and peacefulness to study as well as to relax. I did have a peaceful time here. The other students were pleasant and clean, sheets were cleaned once a week, showers were warm, heating was always on, the rooms were decent sizes with ample storage space tea and coffee was free, and one meal was provided. The food was actually edible. I suppose the downside would be the lack of showers. I reccommend you use Exter Uni halls, they are overall very good. Plus the Student Union is a minute walk and there is a fine chippy at the top end of the ...  Read the complete review

On the day I moved into Jessie Montgomery House, one of the four Duryard Halls, my heart sank into my shiny new university trainers. Having had images of stately halls of learning with deep carpets and luxurious fittings. I was greeted however with dull and dark acres of grey within the building, endless staircases and a room which Romanian oprhans would sniff at. That is not to say that Exeter cannot offer luxury in its halls - it most certainly can. In Mardon Hall for example, fitted out to hotel standards, but it may come at a cost. Mardon is renounded for having a somewhat elitiest atmosphere generated by people who assume superiority by the chance ...  Read the complete review
