It is very easy as an Exeter student to forget about the outside world. Campus-based, we can end up spending literally all day on campus pretending to do work in the library and drinking in the Ram, having little to no interactions with any outside beings. Even the news can seem a little unreal as Exeter turns into our own little oasis, protected by a barrier from the outside. Earthquake in Thailand? The stuff of movies. Fluctuations in the exchange rate? Just words in a textbook. A local fundraiser for the retirement home? Barely registers on our radar.

To encourage healthier habits, Italian food classes could be introduced as a fun and engaging way to teach students to cook from scratch. These classes could focus on simple, budget-friendly dishes like...
Student rents in Exeter are the 4th highest in the UK behind only London, Oxford and Cambridge, a new report states. Students in Exeter pay an average rent of £385pcm despite most students only willing to pay up to £300 in rental costs. The rise has been attributed to a national rise in applications to Universities in turn seeing a rise in demand for student rental properties in the city. Exeter University has seen a 34% rise in applications for university places this year well above the national average of 2.5% seeing a particular demand on rental costs.
