University of Kent Speciality : History
programme: History

I enjoyed my time at this university. I loved that I constantly felt supported by the faculty, however there were times that some of the instruction felt discombobulated and everyone understood something different. But I never felt lost or alone in my program.

I have genuinely loved my time studying at Kent and could not recommend it highly enough. I started off my university experience at a different (and arguably more well-known) university that I chose simply because of league table rankings. When I was looking to transfer the main thing that struck me about Kent was how friendly and homely the campus environment felt to me, and it’s still one of my favourite things about Kent today! The views from the library and campus are beautiful and you can even see the cathedral from some of the accommodation blocks. My parents even commented that my accommodation looked like a hotel when I moved in!

There’s also a ton to do on campus, and I actually prefer hanging out on campus than going into town. Canterbury is a small city, but it hasn’t bothered me as I spend most of my time on campus anyway, it’s like its own little world. Proximity to the beach is also a huge plus especially during exam season when you need a break!

The only downside from my experience is parking on campus. It’s very limited and can be difficult to get a permit if you want to bring your car to uni. But I have always either walked or got the bus, it stops off everywhere on campus anyway!

Kent is a place where everyone has the chance to find their place and feel at home.
