well Lougborough isn't a city whilst Kent & Surrey are both small cities. If you want the full city experience then choose somewhere like Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham or Leeds.

thats fair enough then. Well Lougborough is really sporty so if you want sports then thats the place to go. Of the others I think Canterbury probally just edges out Guildford for student life IMO.

No point being 'educated' in an environment you're not happy in. Having a good social environment is what a lot of people would argue makes them happier, so yeah it kinda is important.

Loughborough is tiny as uni towns go, but very good if you want to play sport at a high level on an extra-curricular basis. There is (IIRC) only one club in town + the SU, so the nightlife is not exactly thriving. When I visited there on a post-offer open day, their student ambassadors were at pains to tell us what a good social / night life they were having. To be honest, it was rather a case of 'I think the lady doth protest too much' - they told us how great it was so many times that I stopped believing it. They do heavily promote how quickly you can get to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester though...

I think Kents probably the most social out of those...they're all smaller so not gonna have so much of a crazy nightlife or clubs or that, but my friend is at Kent atm and there's flat parties all the time because everyone is in halls which are all next to each other!
