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
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)
The worst part are my flatmates and the distance from town and cost of transport and the best part is the freedom
It’s very welcoming!
It’s great
It’s geographically a wonderful campus, really beautiful and green! I find there to be a student support team for just about any need I may have, which is extremely efficient and supportive :) I enjoy the course material a lot and do think it could do with a more diverse staff facility, but the topics are engaging and interesting all the same! I love studying here
Lots of green space , mega library , cheaper drinks!
The university has a great campus and student support is active in checking in on student’s mental health and providing support both for mental health and academic reasons. The society’s provide a great opportunity to socialise and improve student night life. However, the stud student union function more as a business than as a study body representation. They charge for hot water in the campus library, taking advantage of students that cannot afford basics as they are in need of money, themselves. They need more funding.
The general location is very nice and lots to do and feels alive.
Beautiful campus! Feels very picturesque and as if you are surrounded by green space and nature, yet it is a short walk or bus journey into the city. The student support is very good if you do need it, along with the quality of teaching and resources available online e.g. moodle. The location is good, it is close to London and yet also close to beaches in Kent, with Canterbury being the middle ground as it is a smaller place than london, yet is a city with many students and everything you need.
Great campus, facilities, support and students union!
Facilities are great, and there's a great support system.
