The best approach to thinking about where to live next year is to consider all the options and take your time. Despite what you may be hearing from older year students or local agencies, there are many options in Exeter, so don\u2019t sign a contract before you\u2019re sure you\u2019ve made the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are different types of accommodation options in Exeter, not just the traditional shared house set-up. Living with a host family or in purpose-built student accommodation might suit you better. Read more on the <\/strong>Private Accommodation Options webpage<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a first-year student, you\u2019re probably still getting used to the city and might not have much knowledge about the different residential areas. Don\u2019t worry – the Community Engagement Officers have shared their experiences and thoughts on the wards (areas) they have lived in and we\u2019ll be sharing these as a series of blogs over the coming week<\/strong>. So keep an eye on the blog to find more information to help you broaden your accommodation search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meeting other students who are also looking for next year\u2019s accommodation can really help, as can talking to the advice teams at the University. Our Move Smart events give you an opportunity to do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kicking off on Thursday 19th<\/sup> October is a week-long series of evening Housemate Finder Events in different residences<\/strong>, where you can meet other students looking for a place to live, and students from the Residence Life and Community Engagement teams, who can share their first-hand experiences and answer any questions you may have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also be able to speak to these teams at the \u2018Accommodation After the First Year\u2019 event, taking place in the Forum Street on Thursday 19th<\/sup> October, between 10:00 and 16:00<\/strong>. Find more details on the Move Smart website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re already thinking of viewing a property, the Community Liaison Team have created some handy videos to help you consider some important things before you go to a viewing, plus what to look for once you are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEvents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
