LOVE LIVING WITH HOST? Rebook for September 2025
If you’re a University of Exeter student looking for accommodation for September 2025, the big question is: student halls or a shared house?
While moving into a student house with friends might seem like the natural step after first year, Host’s student accommodation in Exeter offers a better, more hassle-free alternative. With three fantastic properties – Northernhay House, Trust House, and The Northfield – you can enjoy all the benefits of independent living without the stress of renting privately.
Here’s why Host is the smart choice for your next year at uni.
Location is everything when it comes to student living, and Host’s Exeter properties put you right where you need to be. Whether you want to be close to campus, the city centre, or key transport links, we’ve got you covered.
Compare that to a student house, where you could end up miles away from campus or stuck with a long uphill walk every morning. Not ideal.
Let’s talk money. Renting privately might seem like the cheaper option at first, but hidden costs quickly add up. With Host, you get one all-inclusive price, covering:
Now think about private renting. You’ll need to split bills, chase housemates for payments, and deal with unexpected charges. With Host, you pay once a month, and that’s it—no stress, no extra admin.
Ever had to wait weeks for your landlord to fix something? One of the biggest downsides to private renting is unreliable maintenance. At Host, you don’t have to worry. Our on-site teams handle any maintenance issues quickly and efficiently, so you’re never left waiting.
What does this mean for you? No chasing up landlords for repairs | 24/7 team available for support | Secure, well-maintained buildings.
It’s a level of service that student houses simply can’t match.
Forget damp walls, dodgy furniture, and mismatched kitchen appliances. With Host, you get fully furnished rooms designed for student life.
Meanwhile, private houses can be hit-or-miss. You might get lucky, or you might be stuck with ancient furniture, peeling wallpaper, and a landlord who “forgets” to fix things. Why take the risk?
When you live with Host, you’re not just renting a room—you’re part of a thriving student community.
If you move into a shared house, you might only interact with the same few housemates. With Host, you’ll be surrounded by students from different backgrounds, courses, and years—giving you a bigger, more exciting social circle.
Living in a student house means dealing with the hassle of splitting bills. Who’s paying for Wi-Fi? What happens if someone moves out early? With Host, bills are included, and you never have to worry about unexpected charges.
Plus, if you love online shopping, Host properties have parcel collection services—so you never have to stress about missing a delivery. Compare that to a shared house, where you’re relying on housemates to be in (and not forget to tell you!).
Host understands that student life isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer a number of tenancy lengths, so you can choose the contract that works for you. Plus, booking is super easy—no endless paperwork or waiting on landlords. Just pick your room, sign up, and you’re sorted.
