In general I am very pleased with my university choice and happy I am studying in Kent University, the city life is great, also we have a club on campus "The Venue" which is also very useful since it is on campus and saves money on travel if you are a first year student, however when it comes to buying groceries from the shops on campus (essentials) I can not exactly say that I am happy with the pricing - the things are too expensive and when you for instance want to get cash back in return sometimes they change what the minimum price can be which is also very frustrating. In addition, the cash machines do not always work - it wouldn't harm to have reliable machinery.

At first I had been told by my parents, family members and friends that university is not a place to be joking about and messing around, also alot of people saying that the first year's grades do not count towards the final which made me not to worry too much and trying too hard in making sure that I get at least a 2.1 but then when I actually started with lecturers and classes, I had been told that the grades in your first year may not count towards your final grade when graduating, however it does count in a sense that you will be more prepared when starting your second year. The first year is a prep and gives you a basic idea of what is being expected of you and shows you the weighting of the different assignments which means the effort needed to be put into in order to succeed and come out greatly. So do try to work hard in your first year as you wouldn't want to fall behind when starting your second year.
