It’s beautiful in the summer and only 30
mins from the beach.

BEST THING ABOUT
YOUR CITY
WHERE
ARE THEY?
When the sun is shining, autumn
is beautiful and the summer is hot.
Students come out of their rooms and
expose themselves for the first time,
enjoying Exeter Cathedral as a meeting
place or catching the 30-minute train
journey to Exmouth beach. Hundreds
of students flock to the coast for the
sun, sea and fish and chips! Last year,
temperatures reached nearly 30 degrees
in May – crikey! The Exeter Phoenix also
celebrates the summer with its Film
Festival, and constructs an outdoor
cinema in the Northernhay Gardens. Last
year, they screened Goonies, Skyfall, Life
of Pi and The Great Gatsby.

WORST THING ABOUT

Division between locals and students.
One of the pitfalls of being by the coast
is the breezy walks into town. And it’s
not nice if you’re a fresher, as campus is
located on the outskirts of the city. There
is also an apparent divide between the
locals and students. You can really tell
who’s who and the clubs promote and
stress this divide even more. But being
polite and opting to shop in the selection
of charity shops can really help support
local trusts and the community.
