15 Things Every Exeter-Cornwall Student Knows To Be True

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Exeter Cornwall chapter.

1. 9am lectures in the Chapel become the bane of your existence. 

2. Having to decide between queueing extremely early for Stannary events or begging online for tickets. 

3. Penryn Campus Fitfinder is the go-to page to get all the latest gossip, and anonymously find out who that fit guy you saw earlier was. 

4. The biggest on-campus controversy was sparked by the arrival of two ducks named Herbert and Sherbert. 

5. Literally fearing death by dehydration in Club I. 

6. Bayside or Cod on the Corner? Pick your side!

7. You’ve had a near death experience trying to get through the automatic door into The Compass. 

8. You will NEVER get a seat in Beerwolf at the weekend. 

9. The untold tension between residents of Glasney View and residents of Glasney Parc. 

10. 2 for £5 cocktails at The Shed make Monday’s that much more bearable.

11. Makeshift Christmas trees will always consist of a pile of course books or a pile of beer cans. 

12. You never realised how great the nightlife in your hometown was. 

13. Although you are truly grateful you have so many beautiful beaches at your fingertips. 

14. There is nothing worse than waiting for a 6pm bus from campus in the middle of winter.

And finally the BIGGEST problem of all…

15. You never know what to say when people ask you what University you go to. So you usually just end up telling them Exeter’s main campus.
