Exeter university accommodation

My DD has a place at Exeter Uni to study Business Management. She has been offered accommodation at James Owen Hall, Sidwell St.
it isn’t on campus ( which she requested) and it’s located on one of the worst roads in Exeter. I have driven there today and it’s awful and I’m no shrinking violet. The university won’t offer her another room but she is on the verge of not going because of the halls location.
Has anyone had a child at this Hall? Looking for advice from any locals or existing uni students.
many thanks.

Hi, my DD decided to defer and take a gap year. We actually went back to Exeter last week - she is still planning on going this year. It is a lovely university. Interestingly I spoke to a 2nd year student and he had never heard of anyone from Streatham campus getting rooms at Charles Owen. So I’m still v glad she didn’t go last year.

Thanks for the update. I hope she has a great time in September.
