"Expatriates in Exeter appreciate the city's rich history and culture, which is evident in its many historic buildings, monuments, and landmarks. They also enjoy the city's vibrant arts and music scene, with a variety of galleries, theatres, and music venues. Expats also appreciate the city's friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with locals often going out of their way to make visitors feel at home.

"I find customer service outstanding, people are very helpful, love the diversity of people, great restaurants and shops...enjoying the weather... very hot in US where I lived. Lots to do here, love the history, theatre, arts etc," remarked one expat in Exeter.

"People are quite reserved and don't readily make eye contact and say hello... lots of simple everyday things to make tasks easier not available here. Going for coffee and getting free refills," explained one expat.

"Expatriates in Exeter may find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The pace of life is slower and the people are more reserved than in other parts of the UK. Additionally, the local dialect can be difficult to understand, and the weather can be unpredictable. Expats may also find it difficult to adjust to the lack of public transportation and the limited availability of international cuisine," said one person in Exeter.
