Our campus is fantastic! Set in 200 hectares of open green parkland and rolling countryside, with the majestic house overlooking a beautiful lake, Bicton College is only ten minutes from the sea and twenty minutes from the city of Exeter with its great shops, clubbing, bars, eateries, cinema and theatre. The many other towns and villages, such as Sidmouth and Exmouth, offer a wealth of different activities and entertainment to suit everyone.
Bicton's facilities:
The social life at the College is full with regular discos, karaoke, quiz nights and the big party nights of the year when we hold the Valentine and Summer Balls. There is also an onsite bar, as well as an on-campus shop where most necessities may be purchased. The College dining room provides three meals a day for residential and non-residential students.
College sporting activities include:
