Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
Definitely could make the uni look and feel more vibrant. Sometimes feel need of a good clean and tidy up. Feels a bit old and not kept up especially at mile end at the front near the clocktower. Learn from other universities to improve student spaces. Student spaces lacking in Whitechapel especially after the removal of the older student union building merging with garrod building has meant a reduction in space .
I really enjoy the outdoors environment, especially on warm, sunny days as the trees and nature are so beautiful. The facilities for my subject are amazing, so much range and different workshops with a variety of activites. KSU have so many events going on, all of which are free to attend which I think is great for students, they plan many differing activites which interest a wide range of students. The accomodation is great and based on my contact with staff and student support they've been extremely helpful.
Best is the nature aspect of campus Worse part is the price of accommodation
I think my overall university experience has been great with private and group study rooms, it makes it great to choose between what and where you want to study.
The best aspects of my uni experience is mainly the facilities such as the many study hubs and lounges. Several of them are located in different areas of the university, and it is nice to go to a lounge after lectures or after seminars to relax and hang with friends, or to meet and chat with your friends. The location of the university is great as it is located not too far from the city centre and high street. There are several buses you can hop on around campus to take you to the high street. It is clear that the university of Kent has priority of the students, always engaging them through talks, surveys, or even events. Though I am a commuter and do not have a lot of time for attending society events, I have been to a few on campus, most notably an event for POCs back in October. University of Kent is very diverse, which was a reason as to why I chose it, as a black woman myself, it is nice to have people of your own race because I can feel comfortable in a new environment and the several events for POCs is very inclusive. I have not experienced any bad experiences at university, the first year seems to be going smoothly so far.
Best: there are so many events to enjoy so since I am not from the UK but I can still meet lots of friends and make connections. Also this helps me to get out of depressions which happens by living alone in abroad. Can be improved: most of them is nice but I live in accommodation and sometimes the facility problems takes long to be solved
Amazing university experience with full facilities
Best: Wellbeing are fantastic Best place to study is Silent Study, Gulbenkian, Keynes Study room or an empty seminar room Nero is amazing Student Union are great Lectures are great Lots of support in place for those with additional needs Loads of sports teams Worst: Expensive accommodation which isn’t worth what is being asked for it Outdated sports facilities Sexist and ableist scholarship coordinator (Oli Prior)
there is a place for everyone. It doesn't matter where youre from or how intro or extrovert someone is, you will always find people. and not just people there is always so much going on in the uni, to protect both your physical and mental health. couldn't ask for more

It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
