University of Kent Applicants 2011

I'm on the other side of campus to Keynes, but I would have thought it was Sainsburys (Feel free to correct me, someone, if I am wrong). To get to Asda from Tyler Hill, you have to walk past Sainsburys, and the bus passes it too, so I don't think Asda can be the closest. There is also a Tesco Metro or whatever it is called in the city centre which has served all of my flat well all year! I've never struggled really to get anything I have wanted, and don't think anyone else has!

That said, I always found it easier to order my groceries online (Tesco, £3 delivery, no minimum spend, the others all have a £25 ish minimum spend and the same delivery costs (at a minimum) and with Tesco you can get Clubcard points as a bonus). The bus into town costs £2.50 for a return, more to Asda, although I think we got ripped off... It's not meant to be nearly £5 like we were charged. For the sake of an extra 50p, I found it easier to be able to judge how much I was spending and adjust accordingly rather than getting to the till and seeing I had spent too much.

It is possible to walk to Sainsburys (and/or Tesco or Asda) but in any case, you will have to walk back up the hill with your shopping or get a bus or taxi back.

Just my two cents (:

I have a question, if you don't mind. It might seem obvious and silly to ask, and maybe I've just missed it, but what do you do about post at university? Packages, such as the shopping especially. I'm assuming you pick packages/post up from a post office, right? It's just that I've paid for Amazon Prime and seem to spend more money on books than anything else, so I was just wondering if that first class delivery would go to waste etc.

About 20 minutes. I live right next to it and it takes me 20 minutes to walk to campus.

Does anyone know how much washing laundry costs?

Sorry for the questions, but I'm trying to work out how poor I'm going to be

£2 per washing machine load
£1 per tumble dryer load

Or they have been this year.

Woohoo! It's beautiful. It was built in 2008 so it's the newest accommodation on campus, there are three different sized rooms and it has its own common room. I'm praying I get a room. When did you apply?!

I havent applied yet as I havent gotten my paperwork in the mail. But I think Im guaranteed a room since Im international. Im glad its newer...I was at UCLan last year and was lucky enough to be in one of the new buildings there as well and it was a definite plus. When did you apply if you dont mind me asking? I feel like Ive done everything so late, but by the standards in the states, this is all really early!

Just firmed Kent!
Didn't get either of my insurance choices I really wanted (they were Scottish though) but I'm just gonna put all my effort into getting into Kent!

^ another Kent law firmer! Hehe its weird seeing people on here that I might get to meet in September

Not as weird as you may think. I became really good friends with someone on here once starting at Kent, but I didn't realise that I'd been speaking to them on here a little bit

I know soo many people irl who are on here and at Kent now. After 1 year

I have a quick question, in the Darwin houses how many rooms are there to each house? And how many bathrooms are there to each house? Also, what are the kitchens like?

Thank you.
