    Is anyone going to be at Medway?

    We've got a space in our house for next year so please consider us and it's super super cheap!

    Firmed an unconditional offer for BA in cultural studies! i'm choosing between Keynes Flats and Parkwood Flats. any suggestions?
    Keynes flats are far more aesthetically pleasing than Parkwood flats, I lived in Parkwood flats and my boyfriend in Keynes.
    However, there are perks to the Parkwood flats - you're close to all the house parties and it's no joke that parkwood is far more sociable. Even though I really liked the Keynes flats and was a little jealous of their kitchens (not that I can even cook....), I don't regret choosing Parkwood because it offered an awesome time.

    In Keynes you're closer to campus, closer to venue (not that it matters because you'll end up walking there drunk anyway!) and closer to the library. The only downside I can think to them is the fact a few people can be stuck up (unfortunately met a few people who are from there) who live there and they'll be the people you'll be mixing with.

    If you don't care where you live and only are picking for the ensuite, I'd pick parkwood just because it's cheaper and you're more likely to meet more people there (especially in freshers).

    Ah that's cool, I haven't come across many people on this course other than me (well hopefully I will be ) and my friend from my school who is also coming to Kent! Not sure why I picked from the most expensive accommodation
