Accommodation

If you need somewhere to live while you are studying at Exeter College, you can look at the following options. Please note we do not have any accommodation at Exeter College.

Opal 1

We are working in partnership with Opal 1 Exeter to provide a high standard of accommodation for our students. Opal 1 Exeter is just a short walk from Exeter College, so you can enjoy studying and living in this vibrant student city. Please click here for more information.

Host Families

Our Host Families offer bed, breakfast and an evening meal (and packed lunch if requested). For international students, this can be the best way to improve your language and adjust to life in another country. All families are visited and the accommodation checked. We book the accommodation for you and you pay the family directly. Two weeks notice of termination is required by either side. This costs from £100 per week.

Shared Houses

You can rent one room in a house and share the bathroom, kitchen etc, with other students. You pay for your own food and share bills for electricity and heating etc. Usually you will need to be in Exeter (perhaps in a B&B or hotel) for 2 or 3 weeks while you visit a selection of rooms and sign a contract. These rooms have not been visited by Exeter College. Rooms in a shared house can cost from £65 per week (room only). You should also allow another £60-70 per week for food, washing and bills for electricity, etc.

Flats / Bedsits

These can be found in the local newspaper, the EXPRESS & ECHO, on a Thursday and cost from around £65 per week for a bedsit (room only with shared bathroom, etc). One-bedroom flats are most expensive from £450 per month. You will need to be in Exeter to sign a contract.

Hotels / Bed and Breakfast (B&B)

Small hotels or Bed and Breakfast (B&B) guesthouses are suitable for short stays while you look for permanent accommodation. Prices start at around £25 per person per night. Only breakfast is included. You must buy all other meals in the college or in a restaurant.
