West Gate Exeter Student Accommodation

Your room becomes a small part of university life surprisingly quickly. The route to campus, the nearest supermarket, and where you end up meeting friends usually matter much more after the first couple of weeks.

West Gate Exeter stands on Frog Street, close to the city centre. The property offers private studios alongside duplex apartments, so every resident has their own kitchen and bathroom. That appeals to students who like having their own space without moving away from the social side of university.

The area around the building already has plenty of what students use every day. Cafés, supermarkets, local buses and the city centre are all nearby, and both University of Exeter campuses are easy to reach. Instead of spending time travelling across Exeter, most errands stay within the local area.

Students looking at West Gate student accommodation often notice the room styles first. The location usually becomes the reason they stay interested.
