A top 10 campus uni in a small city in south west England
Tips: Exeter is a small city, many students who come here assume that it's gonna be as big as London which isn't the case. It is very small and you can literally walk everywhere. The population is mostly dominated by students so it is very safe that way. The faculty is excellent, and you can always reach out to them for any doubts via email or book office hours with any professor. The unique part of studying in Exeter is that the seminars are very hands-on and interactive with other peers as well as the professors.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Exeter is a small city that is easily walkable and is safe for international students. There are a few places that serve good Indian food, including Gandhi and Namaste Exeter. If you prefer to cook at home, you can find Indian groceries at Mess and Heera.

If you take an initiative the university will support you.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of which course they are choosing and why this university. The cost of accommodation goes up every year, so make sure you have a budget. It's better not to do part-time work and focus on your studies. If you are from India, the university will introduce the topics you have to study on your own. There are lots of events and seminars held for the students to interact and gain some industry knowledge. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the experiences.

A good short period of time with twists and turns.
Tips: The university is good, and the staff are helpful. I would advise students to be aware of the scholarships that are available, even after starting the course. I was awarded 1000 pounds in hardship funding. Also, interacting with staff regarding your interests or participating in the mentorship program can help you find interesting events that can help you build your career. Overall, I had a good experience at the University of Exeter.

There is a lot of potential to explore at the University of Exeter.
Tips: If you're planning to study in the UK and hope to secure a job afterwards, having at least a year of experience in any industry is recommended, as many UK companies expect candidates to have a minimum of one year of experience. I arrived in the UK at the end of September and struggled to settle down with part-time jobs, so I would advise arriving a month earlier. The Christmas period is typically the peak time for part-time job vacancies, especially in retail. A few things you need to know is Sainsbury's has cheap products, look for free stuff at student accommodation and university. Don't forget to apply for scholarships. I received the Global Excellence Award, which granted me 35,000 Dollars. The application process is simple just fill out a form on your university website. Once you're at university, take full advantage of all available resources. These might include employability workshops to enhance job skills and English classes that offer trips on writing assessment, which is particularly useful for those who haven't done project-based work during their undergraduate studies. Stay connected with your lecturers and tutors if you're stuck, reach out to them for help rather than relying on coursemates. Be proactive in participating in university activities and aim to earn awards like the Exeter Award to enhance your CV. During university break, start applying for jobs using platforms like Career Zone & Handshake. Keep an eye out for casual roles like matchday staff positions while they may not pay a lot, they can help cover basic expenses. Healthcare in the UK is generally good, but health insurance doesn't typically cover ENT issues. Make sure you have emergency medicine. Exeter is a wonderful place to start your journey. It's a small town with great natural beauty and student facilities. Unlike larger cities like London or Manchester, Exeter offers a peaceful atmosphere, which is perfect for focusing on your studies. It also has plenty of opportunities to explo
Likes (Indian Food): If you are a student who can cook, you will be able to find all kinds of cooking essentials in Continental and Heera stores. However, the prices are a bit expensive, so be careful when you are purchasing. If you are a student who prefers to eat out, you will need to adjust to eating the usual store-bought foods. If you are picky, you can go to one of the Indian stores. Restaurant Indian food is very expensive. For example, an onion dosa at Namaste costs 11.50 pounds. So be prepared and eat all your favorite foods before you come to the UK.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are mostly available for Undergraduates, with only 1% for Masters students in Devon. If you are willing to travel, the availability increases to 4%. However, unpaid internships or jobs at the university are beneficial for job hunting.

The University of Exeter is an academic gem with many opportunities.
Tips: I have transitioned a lot in the unicity in so many ways, with good global experience and personal growth. There are so many scholarships depending on the universities and the course which will offer a decent amount of education the amount from the tuition fee which is helpful for the students. The University of Exeter provides a very good quality of studies. The faculty is helpful and well-qualified, especially for international students who do not speak English as a first language. The faculty is especially helpful with studies and the university's academic standards. The student life at the University of Exeter is vibrant and fulfilling. It's a safe city with a high quality of life on campus. You'll have exposure to diverse students from around the world. It's a great value for the money you'll spend.

The university has a great reputation and provides amazing student life.
Tips: Students should be on time. Reasons won’t work here for being even 2 minutes late. People respect each other's time here, unlike back in India. Researching scholarships like Common Wealth and other university-funded scholarships will help you reduce your fees. Overall, be ready to self-learn and use university resources as much as possible.
Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part-time jobs available on and off campus. If you can get an internship or contract work in your field, it will give you good experience and prepare you for your permanent role. You can work part-time at a warehouse, supermarket, or restaurant to cover your living expenses but don't expect to cover your tuition with your part-time earnings.
Dislikes (Public transportation): I rated low on public transportation because of randomly scheduled public bus cancellations without prior notice, thinking it would be ideal to have a private vehicle. The cost is reasonable with day passes sorting you out for part-time jobs. Weekly passes would work out if you travel as often during breaks while working full-time 40 hours.
