Hey @Ailly !

Congratulations on your accommodation offer, we're so excited to have you joining the Kent family, what will you be studying?

It's totally natural to be a bit nervous about moving in, but hopefully I can give you some reassurance. Was there anything in particular you were worried about?

I personally live in Keynes so I can't tell you anything about Parkwood first hand, but from what other students have said, Parkwood is a lovely place to live. It's on a really green part of campus which gives you a lovely walk to your classes, and its super nearby Woody's Bar which has tons of events on throughout the year and does great drinks and burgers! It also has a co-op supermarket nearby so you won't have to worry about going far to buy groceries and is near the gym (you'll have a free gym membership since you are living on campus!).

In terms of the people, you should find you have a nice sense of community as many student houses in Parkwood are close together. You'll also be part of the Parkwood Residential Group, which has events organised through it across the year to help people meet new friends.

I also want to reassure you that we have a large international student community at Kent and we have many people in similar circumstances for you to meet and make friends with.

I hope this helps you to worry a little less, let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you have a wonderful start to your time at Kent!

Hey @mik2222_ !

Just wanted to let you know that there are tons of international societies at Kent and an international student network, if you're comfortable, would you like to share where you are from so I can see if there's a society with people who share your background?

Congratulations on your offer, I hope you have a great start to your time at Kent!

Hi
I have an ensuite room available at Keynes College, University of Kent. If you wanted to swap your parkwood accommodation for Keynes. I would be willing to do so. Please feel free to DM me.
Thanks!
