Why is it ****? Not being confrontational, just interested.

I got an applicant email from kent uni with a student guide which when i waved my cursor over the picture in teh student guide, the picture was titled 'girl against blue background' ...but there's a picture of a guy...

It isn't something important, but i just wondered who else noticed this... it was kinda funny the guy was referred to as a girl...well for me...


just wave yoru cursor over the email from kent (those with offers) and tell me if you see it too :O

Kent is really disorganised. Both times I applied for different courses, even on different campuses I had a lot of problems.

The first time, they lost my exam results somehow and wouldn't give me a place until they received them in a few days time which meant I lost my accommodation. Then when I asked to withdraw my offer they took 3 days to do it which meant I nearly lost my place at another university.

Second time I applied I never received my welcome pack so I had to call out for it to be resent, if it was ever sent in the first place. I didn't find out if I had accommodation until 2 days before I was scheduled to move in.

Other things:
- Kent is the ONLY university I couldn't get through to on results day. Other universities I may have had to call twice Kent I had to call 16 times. And even then the person on the phone was useless and put me through to completely the wrong department.
- I've had my university card just over a year, seldom ever use it but it's already peeling apart because of their crap quality.
- There's no help if you're having any problems with the course. The University claims there is, but when you actually need them, there's no help available.
- I just recently got about 4 viruses after logging on to the university network and now my computer won't work. I've had my laptop less than a year
- Printer in my uni building doesn't work 80% of the time. The other 20% it doesn't have either black or coloured ink or paper.
- Work takes a LONG time to get back to us. Last year I had to wait 3 months to get results back from a piece of work. This year it's been at least a month already.
- Societies at Medway are awful, so university life is really boring. Medway's solution is to travel 40 miles to go to Canterbury. Wtf?! Ditto for a good Freshers week and Summer Ball. Plus I feel really unsafe walking around.
- Medway is just a really rubbish area and the uni don't make life here any more interesting. Not necessarily their responsibility, but there's not much to do on campus either.
- Most of the help sessions or career days are at Canterbury. We are told what building/room it is, but I've only been there once before, I'd get lost
- The jobshop seldom has jobs outside of Canterbury, but even then there aren't all that many.
- Overpriced uni accommodation. My room in a house is £1300 a year cheaper, including bills
- No transport from halls to uni building, which for me isn't on campus, it's on the Historic Chatham Dockyard which is a 30-35 min walk away. Lovely in summer, bloody miserable in winter. University suggested a shuttle bus but nothing came of it.

and a whole bunch of other pedantic things.

Don't get me wrong, some aspects of uni life have been good, but overall I'm not impressed.

Did you see the little tag that comes up when you wave yoru cursor over teh dudes pic in teh email :P
