The University of Kent

University of Kent disappointed me when it comes to providing a student a full university life experiences. Due to the course I chose, i was based i medway campus which did not have much facilities around for me to be able to have fun. It is because of the friends I made during my first year, I cancelled my decision to transfer to different uni. The first few months in the medway was dreadful. I had lots of expectations from how exciting Uni life will with all the social and night life aspect. But it clearly is not, mainly in the Medway campus. Also, it feels like the Uni is purposely trying to separate the medway campus from the main Canterbury campus. Even the graduation for the medway students are not held in the Canterbury cathedral but somewhere else. If you decide to study in Kent and in the medway campus(because of your course), i would highly suggest to do your research first. If you want a good social and night life, it isn't for you. If you just want a quiet life then it might be.

Genuinely a really nice university. Staff are really caring and make effort to make the subjects interesting. Fabulous location- enough nightlife to keep you happy without it being overwhelmingly busy. Lovely campus

The campus is beautiful and green, and the university are modernising a lot of the buildings. The library has been expanded over the last few years and it’s great now! I loved the variety of bars on campus, and my accommodation in Keynes College was lovely (and there were so many ducks wandering around from the pond). I did feel that some of the modules on my course (English Language and Linguistics) could have been better, but overall I really liked going to the University of Kent.

Lovely campus but parking is a nightmare and business school modules can be very repetitive with many covering the same aspects as each other. Facilities are fairly good with new buildings going up like a house on fire.

I like living in Park Wood, as it is right next to a forest and the nature is very pretty and refreshing. It is handy to live right next to a shop and launderette. It isn’t too long of a walk to lectures and seminars on campus. I enjoy studying in the library, I think it’s a lovely working environment, with lots of different choice in all aspects. For example, quiet study areas and more social areas. I also like there are lots of events going on often at different bars, cafes and societies.

My law course has been strenuous but there are a number of resources and support facilities available to ensure that I have all the help I need. However, in terms of accomodation, they could do more to accommodate international students who have no where to go during breaks. The facilities are good and the student union and career services are helpful .

The campus is lovely, great bars/restaurants and amazing teaching facilities lecture halls and seminar rooms. Although there are some problems, on campus accommodation is expensive and not worth the money as the staff are quite rude. The campus night club is awful and the campus shop is too expensive. There are plenty of societies but the sports centre is small and expensive. Kent union is hated they focus on the wrong areas and don't support the students. The newspaper facilities are good but the newspaper is boring and has had controversy over many of its stories. The university offers a lot of courses so that's a plus. Apart from that the actually learning facilities are brilliant and the local area is beautiful.

The campus isn’t the main campus but it’s still good. There’s free access to the main campus through the uni shuttle bus. The course is good and the lecturers know what they’re talking about and they give us great sessions. The student union is good, and they provide us different facilities and activities to do for us to enjoy our time here.

All the buildings are fresh and new and modern especially the new library. It’s very big with tons of space and computers. My course is also very good with a lot of student material such as recorded lectures. Although I do wish we had a student hub, common rooms, and microwaves to heat up food

The university is a great place to study with lots of facility and things to do on campus. It offers a range of courses from arts to mathematics to history and architecture. It is also close to the sea with only a 20 mins bus ride.

This university is great. They strive to keep it clean and updated. Some of the accommodation rooms are a little sad (Eliot), and I’m not a fan of the bed and flex plan. All of the staff here wants you to do your best and is always willing to help.

Really great university. Easy to feel a sense of belonging and that people care about your wellbeing as well as academic performance. It’s easy to join a society which I would say is the most enriching part about being at Kent. The vast number there are so there’s something for everyone. They are enjoyable and fulfilling.

The facilities provided for my modules are far better than expected and have easy access to when needing them. The teachers go out of their way to help in any situation you’re in.

Kent has been the only school which has managed to see my full potential. They have encouraged and supported me despite my struggles and I truly believe it is one of the best universities for anyone with mental health issues. They also have a fantastic study abroad programme which I got to partake in and spend a year in South Carolina. I wouldn’t have wanted to study anywhere else.

Beautiful campus, great law school, big and comfortable library, student union could improve but provide jobs for students.

The campus is very spacious, especially the library which is the best feature of Kent University. There are many facilities provided such as gym classes, study rooms and more. Also, the student union is very good as they offer a variety of classes ranging from dance to martial arts. I study biomedical science and the lecturers make this subject interesting and engaging. Overall the university is great and they even provide many career services such as the job union where they help you find jobs around the area.

After attending a dreadful university, this one was a breath of fresh air. The majority of staff are lovely (of course all universities will have some exceptions) and the courses are well planned. Moreover, all the courses and assignments are well planned and information given to the students in great time.

Really amazing lecturers on the Medway campus. However, the walk from the student accommodation to the business school (dockyard) is ridiculously long. I believe there should be s free shuttle. Other than that, everything else is a amazing!

I've enjoyed my experiences at The University of Kent studying Computer Science. Course aside the campus and social life is excellent.

Accommodation is incredible on campus, best I had seen by far and very well kept. Academic team surrounding my course (history) in terms of support in beginning on year 1 has been great and helped a lot with settling in. The volume of work set however does seem at times more extensive than any other.

Campus is amazing, modern facilities and the law course is very interesting and well structured. The prep is extremely heaving but support is outstanding
