There is a massive oversupply in Exeter a the moment. St Lukes only had 20 booked in for 2011-12 so didnt open this year and my mate who now works for a student accomodation company in Exeter (who used to work for the club) says that all of the companys, Opal, Point Exe and Signpost are nowhere near being full and are at about 25-30% occupancy.
Thank you first post for making such a succint yet knowledgeable point. I have queried the possible level of oversupply for at least the last 3 years but have always been given the rather glib reply that the large expansion plans of the University would never allow that to happen within the time frame under which we are operating.
The University accommodation may be overpriced but they my mate says they have no problem filling it.
"but they my mate says they" ?
The Uni has no problem filling its own, its the independant companies that are based around the city that do. As a student where would you rather be situated?
Probably the cheapest! Speaking from experience I'd want to be on the campus to start with and then off campus in the later years.
Merely bringing myself down to everyone else's level.
That would be far to easy Bondy. It is obvious RW likes to massage his ego on these boards he isnt looking for answers.
Dommers,
