recieved an unconditional for international business yesterday :biggrin:

, any1 visit kent yet? if so hows the atmosphere??

Congrats!

I visited on the Open Day a while ago - really liked the atmosphere there, and there's an amazing view from the top of the hill (though maybe it's just lame people like me who take account of these things) The accom. was really nice too - even the smaller rooms were quite spacious (imo) which makes a change to some cupboard-rooms you see in other unis :biggrin:

Must remember to pack plenty of warm clothes though. :rolleyes:

Darn Kent.
-jk- :tongue:

On another note; is anyone applying for a scholarship in their subject? :smile:

Normally you share with five other people and I believe that the cleaners clean them, every week or so. I'm not entirely sure on this point though, I had an en suite and it got cleaned by the cleaners every week and the shower heads replaced every couple of months or so.

Thank you! Do you think that the en-suite is worth the money? Because from the pics i've seen the bathroom is tiny and ths shower doesn't even have a proper base.... :s-smilie:

Where you applying for?

Colleges: You have 2 showers and a toilet between 7 or 8, and basins in your room.
Parkwood houses: 5 to a bathroom.
Darwin houses: not 100% sure but likely to be 2 bathrooms.

All are cleaned at least once or twice a week in shared areas. Students can clean them as and when they want too but there are cleaners :smile:

Thank you!

I'm not sure where i'm applying too, feeling way too indecisive about it all at the moment...

Congratulations! :biggrin:

I visited on the Open Day in February and I really liked it. The town is really pretty, the campus is nice, the accommodation is really nice but expensive compared to my other choices and the bathrooms are tiny! Only downside for me really!

I agree with the warm clothes! Was raining cats and dogs when I visited and 6 hours on a train in damp clothes is no fun! :p:

I want to apply for the English scholarship but seeming as the deadline is tomorrow there's not really any point. Do you know what time they have to be in by?

It's even better at night when the Cathedral is floodlit :biggrin:

Also yes, it gets bloody cold. I'm from the landlocked west country so it is definitely noticeably colder. We get all the wind from siberia D|

Ooooh ouch, I can imagine. :tongue:

Well, at least we're all going to look dashing in our woolly layers this year xD And likewise - they didn't really give much notice, but then I suppose they wanted to see how we'd write under pressure or something :s-smilie:

My friend applied last year and she said the website should be open until midnight of the day it's due in. So fingers crossed for that :biggrin:

1500 word essay, title is ' Is Psychology a 'real' science? Discuss.'
I'm finding it so hard, never had to write an essay that was that long in psychology....

Ahh, good luck! I'm sure you'll get it done :biggrin:

What's yours on?

I've been trying to write the history essay for weeks, but its not going well and I have so much coursework to do that I might just admit defeat.

Oooh! We had to have a debate on that in Psychology the other day (I was on the side that argued it wasn't :biggrin:

) No idea how I'd go about writing an essay on it though :eek:

Good luck for that :smile:

And I'm writing on the role of women in society in one of Shakespeare's plays (Macbeth) Having fun with it, but I keep deleting bits and am driving myself insane :biggrin:

Am sure it's awesome :biggrin:

Incidentally, which side of the debate did you lean more towards? Psychology being a science or the alternative? ^^

And thank youuu :tongue:

Just send in your introduction and tell them to bask in the awesomeness of the small paragraph :hugs:

Nahh I kid, but -pelts motivation at- You can do it! At least we'll get back into the swing of things when studying English full-time :biggrin:
