Planning a celebration? 🎉

Check the advice in our Students’ Community Guide (pages 24-27) to make sure your social plans aren’t anti-social to others: https://issuu.com/universityofexeter/docs/community_guide_202425

We want you to enjoy your time in your new home – this is sustained by behaving respectfully and with consideration for your housemates and neighbourhood.

Top tips💡
• Let your neighbours know your plans early on (both students and non-student houses around yours), including agreeing acceptable start and finish times.
• Plan ways to manage any noise from your gathering eg: keeping windows and doors closed, keeping the party inside the property.
• Hosting responsibilities extend beyond just providing a location for a party. Be mindful that you’re also responsible setting the tone and atmosphere and most importantly, managing the conduct of your guests.
• Think about overall “capacity,” and suitability of your home. By this we mean, the volume of people according to the size of a residential space. Manageable numbers provide a greater ability to keep your celebrations under control.
• Consider re-thinking and re-locating. If you’re planning to invite large numbers of people, you may need to consider whether a house in a residential area is an appropriate setting. There are reasonable hall rental options in Exeter, which would lend themselves to larger scale celebrations.
• We don't encourage the domestic use of fireworks/firecrackers for personal milestones or cultural celebrations in residential areas, due to noise and safety reasons. If you are intending to launch fireworks, we want to you to stay safe - follow official firework advice: https://www.gov.uk/fireworks-the-law
