Yesterday, I took part in a discussion group composed of international postgraduate students at Exeter. We were asked a number of questions, ranging from why we came to Exeter, to what resources we used to select a postgrad programme, to what our experiences with the admissions process were. We were also asked to take a look at the Exeter prospectus, and those from several other universities, and talk about what we did and didn't like from each one.
At the end, we were asked what one thing about our experience could have been better. All eight of us took the opportunity to vent our frustrations at the Accommodation Office. It turns out that absolutely no one had anything good to say about them. The people who wanted to live on campus (3) couldn't, the people who wanted to live off campus (4) were required to live on campus, and the person who wanted to move from one campus dorm to another couldn't do that, either.
All told, we said that the university would be a much better place, if only the Accommodation Office could get their act together!
