Student Life
Life at a campus university is so much more than just studying. It’s about getting involved and becoming part of the student community. Join in as many activities and events as you can to make lifelong friends, discover new interests and gain skills that set you up for the future.
Kent has over 175 clubs and societies covering academic, professional, social and special interests. Try as many as you can to find out if you're a chess grand master, a natural performer or the next great baker. An active social life helps you to make friends and meet new people. Time away from your books also helps to maintain a healthy life balance and can really benefit your studies. Looking to the future, filling your CV with extra-curricular experiences and activities is sure to impress potential employers and help you find a job.
We have a variety of bars on campus, all running events including music, dancing and quizzes. Whether you're heading to The Gulbenkian, K-Bar or Mungo’s, they are all great places to grab a bite to eat, a quick drink after classes or to just hang out with friends.
The Venue is the student nightclub. It hosts special nights and events all year round where you can dance into the early hours. Feeling hungry on the way home? Canvas - Kent Union’s late-night hot snack bar - serves food until 3am.
Dining
Canterbury has a wide selection of catering facilities on campus, offering foods from classic British to international cuisine. You’ll find our cafés, restaurants and dining halls spread all over campus, so wherever you are there should be something to whet your appetite.
You could be eating Korean chicken wings in Dolche Vita one day and attempting to conquer the famous Mountain meal in Mungo’s the next!
