Why students choose the city centre
Everything is close: supermarkets, gyms, cafés, nightlife and the Quay are all a short walk away.
Exeter Central station is about a 20-minute walk from both Streatham and St Luke's campuses, according to the University of Exeter, and has trains across the city and to Exmouth.
Homes here are often flats or townhouses on quieter side streets, and you usually pay a little more for the location.
