A safe is not available in the residence, but you will get a key/key card to lock your room. Also, our supervisors live in the Residence and are available for any inquiries. On campus public payphones and a launderette with coin-operated washing and drying machines help to ensure that your stay is comfortable.

Our Supervision Concept
Your safety and welfare are very important to us, therefore our supervision concept for students in our Summer Language Holidays Programme is based on a compulsory activity programme during afternoons and evenings seven days a week. The cornerstone of this programme are the daily „Time to Talk“ meetings.
Our staff ratio on campus for the age group 13-17 years is 1:15, however supervision groups during activities on or off campus will have different ratios of up 25 students for 13-17 years old depending on the situation.
Exeter is also available for children aged 10 to 12. Click here for more details.
13 to 15 year olds
You participate in a compulsory programme consisting of a wide choice of afternoon activities and at least one planned evening activity. During town walks our staff will accompany you into town. You will then have the opportunity to explore the city centre with your friends in pairs or bigger groups for a period of up to two hours.
16 to 17 year olds
Teenagers aged 16 or 17 are free to experience and explore things with their friends in pairs or bigger groups on and off campus. Our supervisors provide a good mix of supervision and personal freedom for this age group. Participation in the afternoon activity programme is voluntary for students over the age of 16.
Time to Talk
You will be part of a TTT (Time to Talk) group of up to 25 students. In the lunchtime TTT you tell your supervisor what you want to do in the afternoon and the supervisor will put you in the respective sign-up list which will be checked when the programme starts. The same happens at the dinner time TTT for the evening event.
Exeter
Enjoy the fascinating combination of modern life with a sense of the past! The 130,000 inhabitants’ city Exeter is one of the busiest cities in the south of England with a historic but still lively city centre, a magnificent 13th century cathedral, great shopping facilities and an award-winning university. Close to the beautiful Devon coast and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast Exeter is the perfect location for a memorable experience. Exeter University has been named as The Times and The Sunday Times Sports University of the Year 2015-16. Its modern equipment offers many possibilities for fun-filled activities. By the way – J.K.
