Home to the University of Exeter's St Luke's Campus, the historic village of Heavitree in Exeter is quaint, welcoming and well-connected to the rest of the city. Student homes in Heavitree continue to see high demand from those who require quick access to the School of Sport and Health Sciences and the Medical School at Saint Luke's Campus. As a result, a sense of community has been cultivated in this agricultural village.

McColls, Tesco Express and Co-Op Food keep students supplied with groceries, and there's even a Waitrose that you can treat yourself to the day your student loan comes in! The South Lawn Medical Centre is situated in the centre of Heavitree to provide care and offer routine checks for residents.

When it comes to entertainment, the city centre is just a short bus ride away where students can shop, eat, drink and take advantage of a buzzing independent arts scene. That said, a drink at the Pig & Pickle Micropub in Heavitree may soon become your go-to!
