“With cobbled streets, Medieval and Georgian buildings, as well as a towering gothic cathedral, Exeter is home to thousands of students. Despite being a campus university, students spend as much time in the bustling city centre as they do in the library, whether that’s partying in one of the many bars, or studying in an independent coffee shop.”
