Introduction

An amazing and easy way to get to know a potential university city is by attending an open day, which we recommend doing for any university you’re considering. Here, we’ve put together this useful guide with everything you need to know about upcoming University of Exeter open days.

Open days are the best way to get to know your potential university as there’s so much to consider when you’re choosing to make somewhere your home for the next few years. It’s a good idea to take up anything that comes your way and that includes the campus tours, faculty tours and any talks from staff or students. It will feel like a lot of information to take in but it really will be worth your while when the time comes to make the decision.

Of course, it’s not all about the university – you need to make sure you enjoy the city and everything it has to offer too. As both Exeter uni campuses are located around the city centre, you’re well-placed to explore the city’s shops, bars, restaurants and cultural offerings. You could even pop by one of our four residences of student accommodation in Exeter where our team will be happy to offer you any hints and tips or answer any questions you may have about student life.
