About Exeter
Why students choose Exeter
The first thing to understand about living in Exeter is the hill. The University of Exeter's Streatham campus sits at the top of it, the city centre and the stations sit at the bottom, and the walk between them is about twenty minutes down and rather longer back up. Every area here is really a question about which end of that slope you want to wake up on, and the rent broadly follows the contour lines.
St James and Pennsylvania are the streets directly below and beside Streatham campus, which makes them the shortest walk and the most competitive. Mount Pleasant and Newtown sit east of the centre, cheaper and flatter, with a longer walk in. The city centre itself has the purpose-built blocks and puts you next to the shops, the Quay and Exeter Central station, at the cost of the climb to lectures. St Leonards to the south is quieter and more expensive, favoured by postgraduates. St Thomas is across the river, the cheapest of these by a clear margin, and connected by its own station and a flat walk along the Exe.
New to booking student accommodation?
Room types, what bills included really covers, when to book, and what to check if you are arriving from abroad.
Which Exeter room type works with the hill?
Purpose-built student accommodation is concentrated around the centre, St James and the routes towards Streatham. An en-suite room combines a private bathroom with a shared kitchen, while a studio keeps everything private. The central buildings suit students who want shops and rail links nearby, but the return walk to Streatham climbs.
Shared houses are common in Pennsylvania, St James, Mount Pleasant and Heavitree. They can offer more communal space, but compare utilities, furniture and the uphill campus journey. A shorter distance on the map can still be the harder daily route.
What should you compare before booking in Exeter?
MoJO currently lists 21 Exeter student stays, with published prices from £182/week. Compare total rent for the full tenancy, included bills, deposit, payment dates and likely bus use. A room near the centre may save money but add a regular climb or bus fare.
Ask for the exact room category, move-in date, cancellation terms and guarantor rules in writing. For a shared house, confirm repair responsibilities, the inventory, joint-liability terms and how the tenancy deposit will be protected.
Top Exeter universities and campus links
Exeter's student population is anchored by University of Exeter. When choosing student accommodation in Exeter, most students prioritise the walking-distance or single-transfer commute to their own department, since it saves 60 to 90 minutes a day on lectures, labs, and evening study.
On each Exeter property page you will see the exact minute count to nearby universities and whether the campus is served by direct public transport. If you already know your university, filter by it before comparing rooms, it saves a lot of back and forth.
Best areas for students in Exeter
The best areas for student accommodation in Exeter include St James and Pennsylvania, City centre and the Quay, Mount Pleasant and Newtown, St Leonards and Topsham Road, and St Thomas and Exwick. Each has a distinct mix of student housing, cafes, supermarkets, and public transport connections, so the "best" area really depends on which university you attend and what kind of neighbourhood you want to live in.
If you are new to Exeter, aim for neighbourhoods with a high student population and good late-night public transport. Areas near your university's main campus are safest for evening walks home and mean you can lie in for 9 AM lectures.
Cost of living for students in Exeter
The cost of student accommodation in Exeter typically starts from £182/week, and rent is usually the single biggest line item in a student's budget. Beyond rent, students in Exeter typically budget for groceries, public transport, mobile data, and social spending.
If Exeter rents feel steep, it can be worth comparing with cities like London and Nottingham: the same weekly budget often stretches further, and some the United Kingdom universities have satellite campuses across multiple cities.

Getting around
The university runs its own bus services up to Streatham, and they are the reason living at the bottom of the hill is workable rather than punishing. Exeter has two main stations: Central, which is a few minutes from the centre and the campus side, and St Davids, which is where the London and Bristol trains stop. Cycling is popular along the Exe valley and the canal, where it is flat, and much less so up to campus. London Paddington is around two and a half hours and Bristol about an hour, so weekend travel is straightforward.

Student accommodation near University of ExeterFrequently asked questions
- Prices in Exeter typically start from £182/week, depending on room type, location, and how early you book. Purpose-built student rooms with bills included are usually the best value overall, since utilities and WiFi are already priced in.
- For a September move-in, most students book their Exeter accommodation between May and August. Booking earlier gives you the widest choice on room type, floor, and price. For January or summer intakes, book two to three months ahead.
- Your contract is signed directly with the accommodation provider, not with HouseForStudents, and we list only recognised student accommodation operators. Listing details for our 21 Exeter properties come from the operator's own site and we re-check them regularly, but always confirm the price and the terms in writing with the provider before you pay. Ask the operator specifically whether your contract is a tenancy or a licence, because statutory deposit protection applies to tenancies and most purpose-built student accommodation is let on a licence.
- Purpose-built student accommodation in Exeter commonly includes electricity, water, heating, WiFi, and contents insurance in the weekly rate, but the package is set by each operator and is not the same everywhere. Ask the operator exactly what the rent covers, and what is charged on top, before you pay anything.
- Most Exeter PBSA properties accept either a UK-based guarantor, an international guarantor, or pay a one-time fee in lieu. If you cannot provide a guarantor, ask our team when you enquire and we will filter for properties that do not require one.
Prices and availability on this page were last checked on . Rooms and rents change often, so confirm both with the operator before you pay anything.
