I believe the University of Kent is a good university that is very diverse and cares about it’s students. Disadvantages include: it’s proximity to london makes the cost of living very expensive; Canterbury, as a town, isn’t very lively; the city centre pales in comparison to certain universities in the midlands; there is a cultural divide between the elderly ( locals) and the university students; oh and did I mention very expensive.

Advantages include: the equipment is state of the art; has an amazing library with advanced technology; very diverse university; Canterbury is a very green/aesthetically pleasing location; good cheap restaurants all around campus; the university is very close to london (45min by train); nice accommodations; responsive Student Support team; numerous events everyday (recently a food bank for cost of living crisis); and good quality lecturers who have had success in their field.

I really loved my university experience, the way the course work is after the first year you can pick your own modules and build the best degree for you. The student union have so many opportunities and can help with so much! I would recommend it. Only negative is the amount of rehearsal space available when most of the degree is “self-taught”
