University of Kent Applicants 2011

Would you have to travel far for Kent, where are you from? Whereas with me, being from Essex, it's like next door anyway!

My offer pack came today in the post from Kent. The first thing my mum said when she looked at the accommodation booklet was "Right, when are we going to have a look at them, then?" I tried dissuading her but she honestly wants to have a look at the "surrounding areas" of the flats and houses.. Hmm, wonder what she'll say when I tell her I'm not paying extra for an en-suite? Aha

I live in Laandaaaan, so it's not too far to get to Kent! Didn't quite fancy having to sit on a train for hours and hours to visit my family; I kind of like the idea of popping home for the weekend That said, I think Kent's far away enough for them not to be coming round to mine every weekend either!

What do you know about Darwin Houses? I can't seem to find much information about them at all

I did And Tyler Court B & C is my second

Nowhere looks like a dump! What choices are you thinking of putting down?

Oh i saw the darwin houses on the humanities open day! ... i thought it would be a really nice place to make friends because you are in a house together.. but its still self-catering on campus!

Oh i saw the darwin houses on the humanities open day! I really liked them... basically they are a collection of houses in which everyone has there own room.. you either share a house with 5 or 7 people... there is one bathroom, a kitchen and 2 seperate toilets! i thought it would be a really nice place to make friends because you are in a house together.. but its still self-catering on campus!

I'm going to be brave and go for self-catering accommodation next year So I'm looking at Darwin Houses and Park Wood houses and.. and the Keynes Extension has 'town houses', right? I quite fancy the idea of houses, in theory! I've heard great things about Tyler Court but I don't know if I have the money for it, really..

Any recommendations are welcome and every scrap of advice will be taken graciously!




That's my reasoning behind it too! I'm hoping that by going for the self-catering option, I'll make friends easier.. Or at least quicker, seeing as they have no where to hide at the end of the day

I applied for accommodation yesterday, I bit the bullet and put New Keynes first and Tyler court second. Has anyone else applied for the New Keynes en suite or know any more about it please?

I chose the same as you Don't know much about it though.

Ah thanks, at least I am not the only one. I don't know much either, just need to hope it is nice!

I've got an offer for Drama and Theatre Studies AAB
Was very pleasantly with the university on the open day !
