WE'RE YOUR STUDENTS' GUILD

Here for you throughout your time at Exeter.

‍

Starting or returning to university can be both exciting and nerve-racking. Whether you want to meet new people, try something different, get advice or make your voice heard, we’re here for you.

‍

From societies and student groups to events, independent advice and making sure your voice is heard, there are loads of ways to get involved with your Students’ Guild. Whatever your time at Exeter looks like, we’re here to help you make it your own.

‍

We’re completely independent from the University of Exeter and led by students, for students.

Here to help you from day 1

We know the start of University might not look how you expected. Some students are arriving in Exeter without confirmed accommodation, we want to make sure you know what’s happening, what it could mean for you and where you can find support.

‍

Still looking for accommodation? If you haven’t found somewhere to live yet, there’s support available. Find out more about your accommodation options, where to look and who you can speak to for help.

When Exeter Started to Feel Like Home

I have grown to love Exeter. The campus is stunning, the city is warm and walkable, and the Guild has been a great starting point for building community
