Falmouth and Exeter SU exists to improve the experiences of student members. The student voice is at the heart of everything we do. Meet them here!

We are here for you from the run up to your arrival at University, right through to your graduation. For any questions, queries or concerns about your course, finances, accommodation, welfare and more, we act as your first port of call! We also organise events and offer several opportunities for you to get involved in extra-curricular activities including over 120 sports clubs and societies, from Football, Netball and Rugby to Quidditch and High Tea. We like to think we have something for everyone but if you think we’re missing something, you can always propose something new! We have four full-time sabbatical officers whose role is to represent you. We want to know what you think about your experiences at University here, and what might need changing or improving. We have an open door policy, as well as several open meetings throughout the year which you can attend to voice your concerns. We also liaise with the Student Council, Course Reps, Hall Reps and Executive Officers, who regularly feedback on student concerns.

A quick one for the group chat 👀🌰

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, so knowing what’s normal for you matters.

It takes a couple of minutes to check your nuts. If you notice anything unusual, get it checked out by your GP.

Save this one, share it with your mates and remind them to check themselves too (and not just during Movember) 💫

Your starters are quick feel good activities that take up to ten minutes (these are your easy wins too)

Mains are for things that take a little longer but have great feel good potential

Desserts are for things to indulge in every now and then when you need it most

specials take time and money so use on special occasions

Feeling homesick? here’s a few tips to help make your new community feel like home 🏡

add personality to your room (check your tenancy on what you’re allowed to do and be mindful of how you attach things to your walls)

maybe it’s a seat in the library. maybe it’s a corner of pub. wherever it is, find it and use it when you need it

make routines, just like you would have at home

explore the area!! you’ve not just moved to uni, you’ve probably moved somewhere entirely new too

call them!! make time to stay connected to those back home

and remember, it doesn’t need to feel like home yet 🫶

Money, money, money 💰

Save this for when you realise maybe you shouldn’t spend all your money on treats 🤫

If you can, look at setting up a student bank account!

Most will offer incentives such as a free railcard 🚂

Where you can, shop locally. Need new clothes or some odd bits n bobs? make use of the local charity shops 🛍️

Supermarkets like Lidl are typically cheaper too

We’re here for you and serve up tasty soup every friday AND have free food for you 😋

avoid takeaways and make a budget 👀

if you can, look for part time work but remember it is tricky to find employment and it isn’t an option for everyone

need advice on finance? speak to one of our advisors ☺️
