Blog: Student Life #1

As a second year student at the University of Exeter you’d think I’d know a fair bit about the city we live in. Hmmm…. Maybe not. I know where the campus is – does that count?

There are a few essential things to do in Exeter that I can happily say I have ticked off my bucket list – like visit the Exeter Phoenix, Cavern, the Bike Shed, Northcott Theatre – I’ve even visited both Exmouth and Dawlish. Yet, when I see posts on the internet of ‘Fresher’s Bucket List’s and whatnot, I get quite embarrassed.

I’m afraid that in a little over 18 months’ time I will leave the university and this city full of regrets for the things I didn’t do. So I am making it my goal to get out from behind those books every once in a while to experience more of what Exeter has to offer because although this city isn’t the largest, there’s plenty of life to it.

I plan on tackling some of the stand-out sights of the city, from the Cathedral to the RAMM as well as discovering some hidden gems along the way. For one thing, everyone I know has been telling me about how fantastic Brody’s breakfasts are and I’m dying to taste one for myself!

So keep an eye on this blog as you might find some new spots of your own and if you have any recommendations of things I should do while in Exeter then let me know via ted@thedailyuk.com
