Real college life abroad
Tips: Before joining, try for all their scholarship options, which are like 10000-pound scholarships. And they also accept multiple scholarships. It is mainly for business and law. If you are looking for more teaching-related colleges. I would recommend this, but it is still a good standard college. So it depends on your preference.
Likes (Student Life): I took a college accommodation. It was the best thing you could opt for if you could spend a bit high, in case university accommodation is a bit pricey compared to outside accommodation. I had classes 3 days in a week, maybe 4 sometimes. It was easy to commute to classes from my accommodation, as I stayed in the Lafrowda building, which is inside the university. And the people are very friendly, and the environment is peaceful and quiet, as it is on the south side of Devon, England.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The market is very tough to get a job in, and that itself is a sponsored job, but it's not impossible. In my opinion, develop the skills you want to get your dream job with. Start the work alongside your studies. All the companies are looking for skilled candidates, not just a degree holder with a good CGPA.

Value for money; the university offered an outstanding overall experience.
Tips: Transition was smooth, cultural shift was mild. British people are polite and reserved. I enjoyed the independence and the work-life balance. The biggest change was adapting to the food and weather initially. I secured a Global Excellence Scholarship which was a merit-based scholarship. You have to write an SOP for your course for this. I was very satisfied with my overall experience.
Likes (Value for money): Value for money because the University offered an outstanding overall experience. The faculty was excellent, the campus was very beautiful and the city of Exeter made student life truly amazing. The quality of education, practical exposure and personal growth I received made the entire investment worth it.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I could not find sponsorship in my preferred domain of management consulting. After completing my master's and working on operations for 2 years, I decided to return to India. If I had to try, the chances are low due to the high salary threshold.

Great learning Environment with strong academic support.

Nice experience but not worth the money invested in.
Tips: From university, I applied for the scholarship. Generally, you would get around 5000 -10000 pounds of scholarship from the university. Even though you struggle with money sometimes, university helps you. They give hardship funds for students who are really struggling to cover normal expenses. If you are taking a 40 Lacs loan. It's not worth it at all; you will learn better on YouTube. Learning in the UK is all about self-study.
Likes (Safety): Exeter is one of the safest cities in the UK. If you are staying in the campus apartments or even in private apartments you will have university police. Even if you call them at any time, they will come to help you and try to solve your problem. I have done night shifts as well in part-time, I never felt any danger. Exeter is one of the safest places in the UK.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Lots of people are coming here by taking a loan of around 40 Lacs. The syllabus and study are not worth that. You can learn better on YouTube. Recently the UK government has reduced postgraduate visas from 24 months to 18 months as well they have increased the salary range to 43000 for sponsored visas. Fortunately I got the job but 90 per cent of people from my batch didn't get the jobs and they are still doing part time because they have a big loan to pay. If you are coming without loan, it's worth it to explore a new life and a new side but if you are taking a 40 Lacs loan just for study and considering the job market in the UK, it is not worth it at all. Start your own business in India within 40 Lacs that will have more Roi.

University is good and staff is experienced and very helpful.
Tips: This university is good if you are coming from any other country, as the city is friendly and you feel a lot safe and happy. The only drawback is that the social life sucks, and you can feel the difference as you can get shocked by the various culture that goes around Exeter.
Likes (Safety): The security and nature of people in Exeter are very nice. All of them are friendly and always help if they think you are in trouble, and they are very kind, so it's a lot safe in Exeter, also, at night, you don't feel threatened, only if you encounter a drunk Brit on the weekend, who will always say something or the other way around.
Dislikes (Value for money): There are many other universities that are far better than Exeter and have so much more value, like Leicester and other universities. The only positive is that it comes under the Russel group and it's quite peaceful. But the city is dead, no social life, no fun at all.

Great university and great facility.
Tips: Before joining the university, please make sure you find an accommodation that is in a place and get a contact for 1 year. You can get a scholarship, but that is not too much. Please apply for it so you can get some discount. It is very expensive, just give it a thought and try for the north side universities.
Likes (Part time work): On campus jobs are hard to get, but there are a lot of other off campus jobs like cafes, bars, restaurants and all, and you can find a job here pretty easily. You just have to be presentable and make sure you know what you are doing in the interview, and you can secure a part time quickly.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): This city is great, but it doesn't have options to settle because it is one of the most expensive city to live in, and this includes transport, parking, house, food, and you don't get tasty food, it is just below average, and you have to struggle every day to do the minimum.
