@futtta I work at Exeter University - I'm a technician in Plant Science, so not the most undergrad facing, but I do some work with them. Exeter has a higher proportion of richer students than some universities, and accommodation can be expensive. The town itself is not especially ethnically diverse. But there is a thriving queer and neurodiverse student scene, life sciences is one of the more diverse faculties and there's a huge anti racist mobilisation against the far right going on in Exeter at the moment. Happy to talk to her if you want. I can also try and see if I can find any undergrads to talk to her, but it's Easter holidays at the moment so that might have to wait a bit

@futtta
I read 26Q3 as 2603, and I had questions.

@futtta My son's partner graduated from there last year. She lives with us but is at work at the moment, so I'll ask her when she comes back.

@futtta She's just appeared and I asked her. There is some posh partying and to a lesser extent racism, amongst small groups but there is general awareness of who these people are and it's easy to avoid them. I used the word prevalent and she said definitely not.
As an addition, Exeter is the nearest city to me and I go there for gigs and/or a night out several times a year and I've never encountered issues. I'd agree with Jules' description of the city from my experience.

@futtta I have to say, in my almost 8 years of living here, the diversity has improved greatly! Having moved from Birmingham, it was a bit of a culture shock, but there is definite improvement. I'm as working class as they come and can honestly say I have never felt more welcome anywhere!
