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.
