    yes
    Thank goodness. I was really worried that I would only apply for it at my firm, and then if it turns out in August that I'm going to my insurance I would have to rush to choose and apply etc.
    Thanks

    I got an offer for the American Studies (History) course at Kent! I'm pretty certain that it's going to be my firm choice! Plus, is there a deadline for when the accommodation forms have to be sent off and where is the best place to stay at the university?
    I think it is 31st July, not sure though. The earlier, the better

    I have a CF for Conflict, Peace and Security (sort of Politics&IR degree LOL) and kent is my firm!
    My top choice for the accommodation are keynes flats, then tyler court B&C, and finally keynes houses and darwin houses.
    I guess you are going to study economics LOL

    How leniant are Kent with Unconditional grades? I achieved ABB last year and this year the course I want to do stilll says ABB on the course code page and even on the Ucas page it says ABB. Though on the webpage dedicated to the subject I want to study it says the general requirement to study at Kent for the subject is AAB.

    Very confused and losing hope

    Keynes flats are AMAZING. If you can afford them, they should be your #1 choice.
