Social Spaces: Freshers And Socialisation During The ‘New Normal’

Rebecca Colyer debates the ever changing ways in which students must socialise due to the impact of COVID-19 The chaotic, sleepless and hungover ‘traditional’ Freshers week has been fully reimagined, as the concept of Fresher’s flu was taken to the extreme. However, after spending months at home, the anticipation, excitement and nerves of moving away […]

Over 610 students have accommodation cancelled after “grossly irresponsible” construction delays Hundreds of new students have been forced to find new accommodation after being told that ‘The Depot’ will not be finished in time for September.  In a statement given to Exeposé, The Depot confirmed “Due to construction delays at The Depot which our contractor […]

The price of moving away

BEING away from home and being at university is at first a strange feeling, one that definitely takes getting used to. I felt this especially in the first year, as all of us probably did. You’re in a new place, you don’t really know what’s going on or where anything is. Now being in my […]

The night is young

It’s easy to sympathise with the freshers’ plight. Your first hours in Exeter might proceed with a certain lingering itch – having bid goodbye to your family, with all the requisite hugs and assurances of moral character, your neck-hairs bristle as one of your slack-jawed, doe-eyed new friends suggests a night out.

Freshers Feelings

First year won’t be the best year of your life. There, I said it. It will be filled with its fair share of loneliness, tears, homesickness and general heartache. The excitement of being a fresher won’t make you immune to the natural sadness and confusion of moving away from home and growing up. And that […]

Best and worst of Freshers

Aaron Loose When I moved down to Exeter as an underweight bookworm last year, armed with little but a Wilko’s crockery kit and the dream of becoming a dashing student of the Humanities, nobody ever warned me about homebrew vodka.
