Hi Philip
I am from Exeter although i now live just up the road in Taunton.
First let me say that Exeter is a small but very modern city with great amenities for young people. Its close to the coast and is easy to get to by road/rail/air.
Because its a university city, it has lots of student accommodation although i dont know what this costs. If your looking for private accommodation with a family send me a PM.
So Exeter is a great city and your son will definitely enjoy his time there.
