TAKE MY LEASE!!!!

Okay I signed a £245/month 11 month contract in December and then dropped out of the Uni in January. The only way I can get out of my lease is if a replacement is found - it's a studio, in unit laundry and dishwasher/full kitchen etc. Its right down by St Davids, on the street where the back of Imperial is. If anyone is looking for last minute accoms or knows someone who is, I'll set you up with the landlord!!

Edit:: Someone has given me advice on ending the lease but if anyone wants it still hit me up!! It's genuinely a really good place, I just live in London now.

Thank you!

Accommodation

Hi!

I’m coming to Exeter next year as an undergrad and am currently applying for accomodation, probably for Ransom Pickard in a single room.

In terms of the application to bed ratios, it seems to be 1.2:1 for Lopes and 0.2:1 for Ransom Pickard, when they seem to be basically the same, I would say Ransom Pickard looks nicer if anything! I was just wondering whether I’m missing something about either one, as Ransom Pickard seems like the obvious choice and I’m wondering why there aren’t more applications there!

Thank you!!

Mature Students doing Medicine?

Does anyone study medicine at Exeter but didnt go through the normal A level route?
I didnt do the correct A levels for medicine and now I am looking at an access to HE course to then study medicine. Only certain universities accept this diploma and I see Exeter is one of them.
I would be 22 years old when I start my first year at university, would this make me very much an outsider or does it not matter?
How is it being in a flat with other first years, or maybe did you go to a private accom instead?
I would love to hear about this experience from any aspect, social or academic/professional. Thank you!

Changing course?

I feel like the course I originally applied for and got offered for at Exeter is a bit limiting and I’m leaning towards a different area of study now but I was pressured to put it as my insurance bc of a really early internal school deadline. How flexible/ accepting are they of changing your course after you get there?

I’m not really sure what to do if I don’t get my first choice. I’d like to go to Exeter because it’s a great school but if they’re inflexible about course changes I might go through clearing in the event I don’t get my first choice. If anyone has had experience w this I’d really appreciate some advice!
