    I need to put an insurance university for UCAS but I'm not too sure deciding between UEA and Kent. Anyone know which one has better student life..?

    UEA is excellent and was voted top for their Student union by whatuni.com (and top university overall as well!) check out...

    I spent three exceptionally happy years there so would thoroughly recommend it!

    I might be a bit biased but I'd say UEA is better- its far cheaper for a start, plus I've heard Canterbury doesn't really have many clubs, where as for a small city Norwich has quite a few plus one on campus which people go to.

    Depends on what exactly you want from "student life".

    I visited both and have decided on UEA...the clubs look amazing and it appeared to have slightly more to offer in terms of social activities than Kent.

    I wasn't so worried about nightlife, but Norwich is supposed to be v.good considering size of city.
