Frequently Asked Questions
How much does student accommodation cost in Exeter?
Student accommodation in Exeter typically costs between £95-180 per person per week for rent-only, or £115-210 per week if you add the optional bills-inclusive package. Prices vary by location, property size, and amenities. Properties closer to campus (like Pennsylvania) tend to cost more than areas further out (like Heavitree).
What bills should I budget for as a student?
For rent-only properties, budget for: electricity (£10-15/week), gas (£5-10/week), water (£3-5/week), broadband (£5-8/week), and TV licence (£3/week). That's roughly £26-41 per person per week on top of rent. Alternatively, you can choose the optional bills-inclusive package (provided by a third-party utility company) for a fixed weekly amount with no usage caps.
Is the bills-inclusive option worth it?
The optional bills-inclusive package (provided by a third-party) typically costs £18-66 more per week than rent-only (depending on property size), but you get unlimited usage with no fair usage caps. It's worth considering if you value certainty, dislike managing multiple bills, or your house uses a lot of heating in winter.
How much should I budget per month for student accommodation?
Most Exeter students budget £500-800 per month for accommodation including all bills. This varies based on property size, location, and whether you choose the optional bills-inclusive package or manage bills yourself. Use the calculator above to get a more accurate estimate.
What's the cheapest area for student housing in Exeter?
Areas like Heavitree and Newtown tend to have lower rents than Pennsylvania or St Davids. However, they're further from campus. Factor in bus costs (around £450/year for a Stagecoach student pass) if choosing a cheaper but more distant area.
