Brunel University or Kent university for Military history?

I am trying to decide between two good options, but don't know which one to pick. I did my first year at Brunel, and thought it was alright, but I can't help but feel that maybe Kent is more suited to me; it has more clubs and societies, more people on the course etc. Only problem is I have met some good friends at Brunel (not too many though), and I am doing very well at the course. Any help would be appreciated

Hi there

Whilst I don't personally study Military History, I have quite a few friends that do and they really enjoy the course. Most of my friends have actually stayed on to do a masters. In terms of Kent itself, the campus is located around a 15 minute walk from town. There are a variety of facilities on campus such as a library, co ops, book shop, cafes, multiple bars and eateries, an on campus nightclub, gym and sports centre etc. In terms of societies, there are hundred to choose from at Kent. I have been a part of numerous societies during my time at Kent and they are a great way to socialise and meet new people. I will leave below a link to the list of societies at Kent so that you can take a look if you want. There is also a scheme run by the uni called the give it a go scheme. This is basically where the student union host a variety of events where you can quite literally 'give it a go'. Most tend to be free and you just have to show up or book a time slot. Sone of the activities include painting, puppy yoga, axe throwing, games nights, cocktail making, cheese and wine tasking, dance classes, zumba, bubble football, pottery, rock climbing etc. Hope this gives you a bit of an insight as to what Kent is like. If you have any specific questions to help make your decision then please let me know!
