Exam fears: a first-year perspective
I may have decided to write this article in the midst of an exam related breakdown, which perhaps gives a good idea of how I’m feeling about my first-year exams. This is the first year since GCSEs, that my exams don’t ‘count’ for anything and finding the motivation to revise through that is excruciating. It’s […]
The reality of student summers
For an ‘Exetah’ student, summer is the main event of the year. With impulsive trips to Bali, copious amounts of fake tan to even out those bikini lines, and thousands of veggie gluten-free burgers on the barbecue in every Surrey back garden. However, for those without trust funds summer is more a test of endurance […]
A typical Exeter summer
This article exists thanks to the tireless efforts of Exeposé’s research team, who, through various investigative reports and lab experiments, have identified the most stereotypically Exeter person enrolled at the university. His name is Gideon Brentwick-Chatsworth and we have managed to get a hold of his Summer diary, which we can exclusively publish here. […]

New #NeverOK Video Uses Curly Fries to Explain Sexual Consent
The University of Exeter Students’ Guild has released a new video for their #NeverOK sexual harassment campaign featuring one of Exeter’s favourite dishes: curly fries.

‘Proper Tasty’ and the fall of civilisation
I‘m under siege by food porn. Much as I’m loathe to use those words, there’s no other way to describe the videos of oozing cheese and dripping nutella invading my Facebook newsfeed. I love a hunk of garlic bread as much as the next student but this, my friends, is a dollop too much of […]
