Why Exeter College?

It’s in such a central location

Living in College is amazing as everything is provided for you and it’s in such a central location, as well as having all your friends just around the corner.

The community at Exeter is small and very friendly. These may seem like really simple things but it makes such a difference as everyone knows one another.

Why Exeter College?

You get to know your tutors really well

What’s good about the tutorial system is the extensive feedback you receive on your essays. You also get to know your tutors really well – they know you by name and you feel comfortable enough to ask ‘stupid’ questions or just say you don’t understand. It makes the tutorial less daunting.

Why Exeter College?

The best decision in my life

Coming to Oxford from China was the best decision in my life so far. It has taught me to focus on cultivating and improving my core competitiveness. I frequently attend the Rector's Seminars, where many academics and leading figures in politics and industry come and share their views on either historical or current hot issues.

Why Exeter College?

Never a dull moment

The Exeter community has an impeccable knack of making international students feel right at home. With social activities throughout the year, there was never a dull moment for someone who had just arrived in a town thousands of miles away from home.

Why Exeter College?

Be surrounded by motivated people

The decision to apply to Oxford was borne out of a combination of me trying to be the best I can be, whilst trying to reach that next step. Oxford is challenging but it’s good to be in an environment that allows you to feel challenged, but keeps you motivated, being surrounded by other motivated people.
