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

Actually I think that looks very nice. Can't beat hangin out with mates like that with a cold beer and the sun shining. I miss summer.

Sounds pretty darn boring for me.

That's one of the very few pictures I could find of Kent. The reality is that it's lots of ugly grey buildings on a big green campus.

I think I would find Warwick dreadfully boring... The whole campus thing would become claustrophobic after a while...

I didn't go to Warwick... but it's not exactly in the sticks. You have Leamington Spa and Coventry right there, and Brum is about 30 mins away by train or something like that.

It is a campus uni though, and that said, those types do seem to be more insular and isolated. Bath gave me that impression when I visited a friend there once. It's right at the top of a massive hill.. town is nice though.

I was put off going to Kent by attending the open day. It just reminded me of a big run-down secondary school..and you would have thought that they would have cleared up for the open day!

I like boring universities.

I should've done more research into boringness before I chose my options.

LSE is in London. Whatever criticisms can be made of university life in London, I don't think boring is one of them.
