Default The most boring university in the UK
 
What do you think the most boring university in the UK is, based on your own personal reasons?

I'll go with The University of Kent, I went there on an open day and I've never seen such a boring place. To be honest, I think I'd find prison more fun.



Am I supposed to sit on the grass for fun with those hippies?

Couldn't find a facepalm good enough tbh.

The actual uni of Kent has a rather nice view tbh:



Castle Leazes halls in Newcastle are pretty depressing tbf.

maybe somewhere really isolated? like Aberyswyth? or Inverness (if there's a university there)? Although it all depends on personal perception.

Chichester is pretty *****. Not that I go to the university, but having lived in the place for so long, I can't actually imagine where students go in the evening.

I find Ramocitomorals doesn't tend to let trivial things like facts cloud his judgement.

Basically, the two have no life beyond the campus.
I disagree, but this is what I was told!

I agree with this! I went to visit a friend there and no taxi drivers knew it even existed! When I got there it was pretty crap tbh... apparently the halls are more like Ghettos ...
