University of Kent Applicants 2012

Hi guys, I'm either going to go for Kent or Glasgow - though I'm really not sure which one to pick! So will jump on board until I make my mind up (which has to be soon!) :biggrin:

Heya, I'm applying for English and American studies at Kent! Attended an Open Day and it seemed pretty nice campus, and loved the course :biggrin:

I want to avoid living in the 'party halls' which are they?
And is park wood really the long walk that everyone describes it as? I went to the open day I didn't think it was that bad but we were strolling and talking and not carrying a lot of stuff (;

I think it depends more on who you live with rather than where you live. But I've been told that there's always a house party in Parkwood!

I don't think it's that far away tbh. I accidently went there when I was trying to find the business school and it didn't take long.

Avoid the party halls! University parties are the best parties! :biggrin:

(I live right next to my local uni) :wink:

Parkwood does seem like the place to have a party xD
I kind of liked parkwood the most ^^ but if it's party central =/
Thank You! - I have more question, I just can't remember them -_-

I think there are more parties in the Parkwood houses than the Parkwood flats.

Pssht. Parkwood isn't that bad. I live in the central court [Grimshill]. If you want to find a house party you can, but generally it's not that bad, although I suppose it depends who you live with. I've had random people in my kitchen but somebody I know has always known who they are ;3. The best way to avoid your house being the party house is just to live in a 5 man house/not have the 6 room house with the big kitchen.

The distance depends what you're doing. I study law, meaning I have to walk to Woolf most days. It's not the most fun walk really - 15 minutes at a general decent rate, longer if i'm strolling. Shortest I've done it in is 12 minutes I think.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of applying to Kent, however I have been told by loads of people that the student experience itself is pretty dull! I went to the open day, and I admit it is a very nice place, however it is basically isolated and I was wondering if anybody knew anything about the whole nightlife/student experience?

It's as dull as you make it is the best I can say..? Canterbury town has student nights quite frequently (or at least Club Chemistry keep trying to get me to go to something..) the Venue/attic are generally pretty packed Fri-Sun and it's not hard to have people round a house for drinks.
