The Templemen library is a massive and eye-catching facility. Food services are well timed and of good quality. The campus is very diverse.

The Canterbury campus is fairly large but everything is easily accessible and there are directions to show where things are. Facilities are generally good, especially in the library you'll find most things that you'd need for a good working environment, printing etc. My course is also pretty good with generally really good lecturers however at times have felt I haven't gotten the upoortunity to really look into what I wanted to learn as modules had been compulsory on my psychology course so far so often I have felt bored on the module as it wasn't what I've been wanting to really look into. The student union is good and they're always emailing studnets and making their presence known, making clear what developments are occurring. I have never used the career service but they're always advertising something new. I belive the organisation of my experience has been fairly good, generally at the uni things are really organised and they're always on top of things which is good.

The campus in itself is beautiful and there are lots of facilities that cater to everyone. There are people to help you in terms of employability for during and after university and 'the job shop' send opportunities via email every Friday. My only thing is there isn't a lot of emphasis on mental health and where to get help as university can be lonely a lot of the times, some seminar leaders struggle to teach which can affect grades and motivation to go into seminars. Other than that there are an array of societies one can join that is to fit every type of person. There was an issue with student union in first year due to ignorance around black history month but they have become more diverse and are working with he ACS and other societies to make sure they get the proper knowledge

The university does not organise enough events to enrich our experience and does not therefore provide fun activities for students or space for us to meet each other. The university overall is quite modern but a few of the buildings are still old, however I think they have plans to renovate in future. The town of Canterbury is what let's the university down the most as it is s very small town which after a while gets boring and does not have nearly enough night life. The nightlife is a let down for a town with two universities - only a few clubs and a lot are small.

It's great all the services and facilities and they provide great help when you need it which is quite helpful and they respond really quickly.

Lovely university, the campus is so lovely to be on as it is set in parkland meaning you're not just surrounded by lots of horrible buildings and can go on some really nice walks which is great for stress. Lots of help provided for courses, can meet up with your academic advisors if you need help with work or sign up for the mentoring programme and get help from an older student which can be really nice as they understand exactly what you're going through. The uni has lots of societies you can join which are all really fun and they really do provide something for everyone whether you enjoy going crazy or prefer quieter nights in there is always something for you to do.

honestly it is not really a good university. Simply things like shopping is an innvonvience, as the shops on campus are far too overpriced. IB, my course has lots of pointless modules.

The campus is very clean and tidy. Clear and obvious signs allow for easy navigation around campus, overall resulting in less students getting lost whilst heading to/from campus.

The campus is modern in a city that is quite old and traditional so you have the best of both worlds. Nightlife in terms of choice isn't great but when you have a good group of pals then you can make anywhere fun! Student union on a Wednesday is a good night out. Careers service have been really helpful putting on placement workshops (I am on a sandwich year) and there is good communication whilst I am on my placement too.

Overall good university, good facilities and generally good teaching. Easy to socialise and make friends and a lot of support with mental health issues.

The Medway campus is absolutely beautiful! It's really big and the environment is just great. They have really big learning lectures as well as a student bar that's close by. So if you have spare time or a gap within your timetable that's probably one of the best places to relax until your next lecture! They have pool tables available, food and games to play. If you feel that this isn't for you, you could also study at the Drill Hall library which is supposedly one of the longest library in Europe!

Excellent library, some good accommodation (some very poor). Student Union is not fantastic, on campus shop very overpriced and the on campus club isn't great. Most facilities are good, very safe and clean campus.

The student accommodation is nice, well lit and very modern. My course, social anthropology, provides lectures who are very passionate about their job

Alright I suppose. If I have to say more, I'd probably say that the weather was generally a bit rubbish. Didn't mind the local town, sandwiches were good from the shop closest to campus.

Such a beautiful campus with all the best facilities. Students are so nice and all lecturers are helpful. They are really inclusive of everyone, no matter what their gender identity, sexuality, ethnicity, etc. There is a society for everyone and great sports facilities for those into sports.

I was studying the Law LLB course in UoK. The lecturers were excellent and very helpful. The only downside of the course would be the lack of variety in the module options. The career service department is a great asset to my education. It offers advice and opportunity in order to progress with my future career I like how the campus are all in one area. From end to end it’d only take 10 mins walk. It’s easy to travel from area to area.

The campus is beautiful and not far at all away from town. Older style but full of students and bars/clubs. Such a good 4 years.

The School of Arts is wonderful. The staff are all excited to help and talk, the mental health emphasis is useful, and best of all is the on campus theatre - the gulbenkian. Not only is it a real-world link to arts jobs, but it showcases an impressive number of famous acts, from comedians likeJohn Robbins to like bradxasts from London theatres. I have truly loved first year.

Great university with supportive staff. Fantastic education with interesting modules and courses. I chose criminology and has been the best decision I have made, great school within social science.

The campus is great it is fully tailored to my course and allows easy accessibility for all students. The campus offers each student a sense of security and privacy by providing sudent cards access to facilities making them 24 hourly exclusive to students.

It was just fine. The course was good, people were okay, living in Canterbury was fine not amazing, stuff going on at uni was meh, not many events worth going to especially at the prices. But it was okay

Overall, lovely university with a good location and plenty of facilities offered to students. Lectures and classes are reasonably challenging. Staff is friendly and helpful to anyone.
