Student Life
Classes are just a start.
Exeter knows academics; it’s kind of our thing. But life on campus is soooo much more. Our dorms, our clubs, our teams — and of course our friends — fill our days with camaraderie and community.
Boarding students and day students alike share experiences and pursue their passions together each day, and our faculty live alongside our boarders to offer support and guidance.
Clubs & Activities
With nearly 200 student-led clubs and organizations, the only challenge is choosing.
Dining
We love to eat! With two dining halls and our beloved Grill, you'll never go hungry here.
Serving Others
"Non Sibi" translates to not for oneself, an ethos that infuses our community.
Dorm Life
Ask Exonians "what's the best dorm on campus?" and you'll get 26 answers. That's how many dorms and houses that stretch across campus, homes away from home.
Religious & Spiritual Life
Whether you have a formal affiliation or just a spiritual soul, there's a place for you.
Equity & Inclusion
"Youth from every quarter" is in our founding document, and we live that value daily.
Student Wellness
Every adult on campus is dedicated to helping you thrive on your journey.
Exeter Stories
Jackson '25 found his place at Exeter through clubs, his dorm and of course, around the Harkness table.
This trip has truly been an unforgettable experience! … What I will truly not forget about this trip are the people. With the little kindergartners who bowed to us in the subway station, or the halmonis [grandmothers] who spoke in broken konglish in the park, it has been incredible to see how culture all over the world is built on its people.
Alex '27
Passing time takes on a whole new meaning when Mr. Thomas catches up to you on the path.
In 20 years, we’re going to have doctors, we’re going to have entrepreneurs, we’re going to have athletes. We’re going to have so many people from so many different aspects of life, and I’m so excited to see what that’s going to look like.
