About this property
Where you live can make a noticeable difference to your university experience. Easy access to campus, reliable transport, nearby supermarkets and somewhere comfortable to study all become part of your daily routine before long. The Printworks Exeter brings those essentials together in one well-connected location, offering student accommodation that's practical, modern and suited to different ways of living. Whether you're moving to Exeter for your first year or returning for another term, it provides a base that's easy to settle into.
The Printworks student accommodation includes a mix of en-suite rooms, studios and apartments, giving students flexibility when choosing where they want to live. Some prefer the social side of sharing a kitchen with flatmates, while others would rather have a private space of their own. With bills included, study facilities and communal areas throughout the building, the residence supports both academic life and everyday routines without adding unnecessary complications.
Student accommodation isn't simply somewhere you sleep between lectures. It becomes part of your university life, from early morning classes and late-night revision sessions to weekends spent catching up with friends. The Printworks Exeter has been planned around those everyday moments, offering accommodation that works throughout the academic year.
Residents can choose from several room types depending on the level of privacy they're looking for. En-suite rooms provide private bathrooms with shared kitchens, while studios and apartments offer fully self-contained accommodation for students who prefer independent living. Every room is furnished before arrival, making moving in a straightforward process.
The building also includes spaces that support life beyond your own room. Dedicated study lounges provide somewhere quieter to work when deadlines approach, while communal areas create opportunities to meet other residents without leaving the accommodation. Combined with its convenient location, The Printworks offers an environment that suits both focused study and day-to-day student living.

Ibrahim Rafi
I’ve absolutely loved my experience staying at Printworks. The building has a great community vibe and feels like the perfect balance between comfort and student life. One of my favourite things is the amenities—there’s a pool table that always brings people together and a well-equipped gym, which is super convenient and saves me a trip outside every day. The social spaces are clean, modern, and always feel welcoming. The rooms are surprisingly spacious compared to many other student accommodations I’ve seen. My bedroom is big, bright, and comfortable, with plenty of room for studying, relaxing, and storage. It really feels like a home rather than just a place to sleep. Management and staff have also been friendly and helpful whenever I’ve needed anything. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Printworks to anyone looking for a modern, fun, and comfortable place to stay while studying. Great facilities, great rooms, and great vibes!

DO NOT STAY HERE if you value your money and your wellbeing. Living here this year has been AWFUL and the list of problems is practically endless. The big ones are that the place is unhygienic, unsafe and unusable. UNHYGIENIC: There are silverfish infestations in most of the buildings, of which myself and multiple of my friends have alerted reception about just to be dismissed and told that they are not harmful to people and that they are attracted to damp as though it is my fault that they are there, not that the ensuites are poorly made and do not have working extractor fans. I even have a dehumidifier of my own to try and solve the problem, sprays and have splatted countless on the floor all to no avail. All year they have been a consistent torment and for the amount of money I pay for what should be a 'luxury' accommodation why there has been no pest control come in I will never understand. When moving out I was met with multiple of them invading my belongings, damaging them and meaning they have had to be discarded as to not bring them back to my parents house. The entire situation has been incredibly stressful and upsetting, my room has been uninhabitable and I have had no option but to stay elsewhere with friends on armchairs and sofas. The place is also consistently covered in litter and has a bad smell. The only time the sides of the building have been clean is when I went and litter picked it myself! I also had the nice surprise of being made to clean the kitchen by security despite having not been in the flat for over a month because other flat mates had moved out and left the place in a scene suited for a horror movie: flies, maggots and mould jelly. Making those not responsible clean it I think is unfair and unjustified. UNSAFE: The front door was broken and meant that I could not access the building easily for a long time. When I would come back from studying I would be left standing outside until someone would come and let me in, which as a female coming back late at night alone was uncomfortable and worrying. Furthermore, the door to C Block has been broken for MONTHS and so it can just be yanked open meaning anyone who makes it into the front door can access the block. The fire door to my flat also would not close properly, leaving it a) completely accessible to anyone and b) unlikely to do anything to protect anyone in a fire. UNUSABLE: The facilities here are a joke, they are always out of order (as my photos below show). I have on multiple occasions not had hot water for prolonged periods, requiring me to go elsewhere for a shower. The gym equipment is always broken, I do not remember the last time I could use both cables of the machine. I have to log in and reconnect to the WiFi every time I re-enter the building!! There is no phone signal basically anywhere in the block that isn't the rooms. The hobs and oven in my flat had no labels so we had to make our own and spent the whole year guessing the oven settings. The washing machines are so overpriced, when they work - there is almost always atleast one of the machines out of order. NOTE: Before the response to this tells me I should have brought things up more and earlier, the need to do this more than had already done by others firstly felt unnecessary because why would such basic standards not be met in the first place and considering the dismissal I had heard others experiencing it did not feel worthwhile and at no point has it been easy to report things anyway with the app that is glitchy and inaccessible.

The staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome and help whereverthey can and the new gym is nice to use and the on site laundrette has been refurbished with new digital machines available 247 and new common areas for them to socialise
Rio Worrall
Brilliant place to live, gym and washing machines on site, reception and security are all lovely and very helpful whenever a problem arises. Wish I had come to live here sooner. The WiFi is quick and easy to use, amenities including pool table and dartboard are great to have and lots of communal spaces to spend time with guests. Incredible value for money and you can tell that the staff genuinely care about the people living here.
