All very good, campus itself is lovely
Careers service fantastic and really helpful in 3rd year with job applications
The university has a large investment into modernisation at the moment, but that makes it feel like I'm studying on a construction site.
WiFi needs upgrading but the rest is great.
Very sporty, quite cliquey, quiet
Generally great Campus to live on. Keynes college rooms are surprisingly small. They look bigger in pictures on the hospitality website.
It's a nice place to be with good facilities.
Yeah so far so good. Not much gets complained about here apart from the 9am lectures and seminars. Haven't tried out all services, such as the career's service so I can't rate it too accurately but I haven't heard anything negative about it.
The campus is very open and full of nature. There are rabbits, plenty of trees, green areas and fresh air. It's a short walk away from Canterbury city centre yet the university itself is situated atop a hill. The staff are incredibly helpful and very friendly, and I'm yet to have a bad experience with anything related to the university itself.
Great university - lecturers & seminar leaders are brilliant and Canterbury is cute as anything. Bars all over campus. Accomodation varies a lot but is mostly good.
Excellent uni! Love everything about it, glad this is where I am at.
Wifi need to be improve, I find it a rip off that sport members have to pay gym membership as well
My insurance choice, but so much better than expected
Student union is not good at all. Only one club on campus and rumours of it closing this year.
very beautiful campus and enjoy the area
It is very good here, lots to get involved with, the campus itself is quite clean and has lots of green spaces
With the exception of the Job office, everything runs smoothly. I had my window replaced after it was vandalised, no hassle.
Definitely made the right choice of university! The nightlife is not the best as there are only a handful of clubs in town but nevertheless that means there's never an empty club seen. The eduroam wifi is poor but I have discovered that it is not the university's fault and many other universities use eduroam aswell! The societies are fantastic, there are many to choose from and something for everyone! It is even easy to set up your own society which I have done in the space of 2 weeks. There is never a boring day at Kent!
Absolutely love the university
Lovely uni and people, everyone always tries to help :)
Amazing university, better than some of the Russell groups
In my 3rd year and thoroughly enjoying my university experience. Kent has everything that I need.
I have been at Kent for 3 years and I have found it to be a great place to work and study.
Wish we had better student bars as they aren't fab! And essentials is ridiculously over priced should just be a co-op! But the library and Study hubs are amazing!
Wouldn't have chosen to go anywhere else
Well run university, student village is brilliant. Teaching quality is excellent and courses are well laid out with high accessibility to resources online and physically. Student union can be slightly expensive but all events have a good vibe and are very professional.
I am having a great time here. The University is very nice and all the facilitates are top-notch.
A generally fantastic university which endorses work/life balance and the need for its students to undergo a smooth transition from academic to professional life. Offering a wide range of degrees and expert knowledge from its staff, this will surely satisfy any prospective students wishing to embark on high class HE, just a short while from London without the extortionate cost of living within the capital. A great place to study also for international students, whose large amount every year helps both new internationals socialise with their compatriots to settle in, and existing students develop firm relationships with citizens from different geographical, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I am always proud of being a member of this institution and will continue to be upon my graduation.
millions of £ worth of investment in this top 20 university
Kent has a great atmosphere, with lots of active societies and a good students union.
Really enjoy it here. Good facilities.
This review is of the Medway campus.
The campus is absolutely beautiful and there's always something going on. My lectures and seminars are always really interesting but sometimes the university has technology issues.
Beautiful town and vibrant community. Great on-campus facilities.
Lovely campus, great teaching, interesting lectures.
Extremely welcoming students and staff. Great career opportunities and support from staff and associated organisations. Wonderful student atmosphere.
Found it very welcoming, classic 60s architecture and fantastic gym.
Lots of societies and sports to get involved in. Theres's something for everyone.
Not been to the on-campus club but I have heard rumours that it isn't so great, and the drinks are very expensive. There are a great range of societies, all of which have friendly committees who are welcoming and are eager to get to know those who join. The Wifi is fantastic but it can take a little while to connect at first, but otherwise, it's perfect.
Great staff, very friendly and would do anything to try and help, if you ever need them, they are there.
Great uni with everything you could possible want on campus. Lots of clubs and societies too.
Lovely university, only downside is that societies are more aimed at people of an advanced level opposed to beginners.
Great University! Great new and modern accommodation. The lecturers and academics is world class. Plenty of societies and sports clubs to join.
The campus isn't too big nor too small, plenty of bars and places to eat. Useful having an on-campus store and several careers offices. Lecturers and seminar leaders are always quick to respond by email and lecturers give easy access to resource information. No regrets about choosing this university.
Great vibe and an awesome university. I love it!
Kent is great uni for those who want a mix between a city life and the country. It just a great uni! With great events!
You can study here, but social facilities are minimal at best, unless you have a friend in the union.
It's a lovely campus that's gonna get way better once building work is finished. Union can be a pain but getting involved will help. Essentials is over priced.
It has everything you could possibly want. Amazing campus, wonderful facilities, WiFi almost everywhere (every building has it), always bombarded with opportunities for jobs and career help, lots of bonus lectures and events, an active student union that genuinely care and succeed, a society for almost everything you could want and plenty of bars, clubs and places to eat!
Kent has everything you need and more and is a fantastic university
Do not accommodate the priority of study spaces on campus with areas where students are free to revise or eat. Social spaces indoors. Study spaces, openly designed, not suffocating.
Good uni, shame about the abysmal teaching staff who are rubbish and some barely speak English
I never have good wifi in my house. Makes things very difficult.
Great university, loads of restaurants with different cultural food to try, friendly people, nice area and helpful people. Wifi always worked, works everywhere on campus (this is useful because it's hard to get coverage in Canterbury anyway)
Not great, but there's wifi everywhere (which is needed as there's no signal AT ALLL)
UKC is a really good uni, the lecturers are really helpful and enthusiastic about their subjects. The support for dyslexia is incredible! The sports facilities are good for almost all sports. The city is beautiful, however the night life is a bit drab, unless you love pubs.
Internet is inconsistent across campus, disconnects at random times and takes about 90 seconds to connect each and every time i open up my Macbook (I know of other Mac users who share the same problem)
Solid University, however, there still a very big room for improvement
i love it so much! everything is so accessible! facilities are great!
average teaching, average facilities, average student life, we are not students, we are money in the eyes of the executive staff of this uni. leaving in June and it won't be hard
