We recreated the uni’s glamorous pictures of campus

Exeter is not alone in deceiving its incoming fresher flock when it comes to its prospectus photos. Obscure angles, excessive editing and gratuitously attractive models. All ploys to create a barely recognisable image of campus when you arrive on your first day – Ikea sack in tow.

Quick, enjoyable walks from accommodation to lectures

Being a campus uni, every one of Exeter University’s award winning facilities is within walking distance of each other.

Finally after a painful 35 minutes, this fresher made it through the doors

Can’t afford the gym? Want to build up your upper body strength? Take a trip to the forum doors and build a couple of cycles of the self operated revolving door opening into your routine.

These stiff doors require maximum effort to push which is great for burning off those empty alcohol calories, for extra fun. Try getting your feet stuck in the bristles when you push out of sync with the person in front of you, who needs to go clubbing when you can get this much enjoyment out of a door on campus?

Don’t worry if you get lost on your first day – one of our On Campus Gull Welcome Team will be sure to help you

Worried about piling on the Fresher 15 in weight as you consume your body weight in super noodles and chocolate digestives? Worry not, these helpful seagulls can be found around campus and will gladly take the food from your plate without your consent. Their piercing stare may appear threatening at first but remember they have your best interests at heart. Don’t be alarmed if they start pecking at your doors either (see action shot from above), they just want to make new friends and have a good time like the rest of us.

Enjoying the fully furnished student accommodation

Rest your weary bones on one of these deluxe and super comfortable chairs with unique design elements, like collapsible legs to keep you grounded.
