\nMake use of the facilities and resources at Liberty Quays (Medway campus accommodation)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nStaying at Liberty Quays? Then you can use of both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 common rooms. Essentially, the Phase 1 common room is for entertainment. If you need to de-stress and fancy playing some pool, table tennis or console games then you can. Phase 2 on the other hand is a much more relaxed, quiet and calm environment if you wish to revise without having to walk to the library or be distracted by the comfort of your own room. Don\u2019t forget you can also print for free using the printers in either of the two buildings.<\/p>\n
\nConfused? Ask your lecturers, not jeeves<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIf you are ever confused with something that was discussed in lectures or seminar, email or book a time to see your lecturer to discuss your situation. Don\u2019t leave it until last minute. The lecturers are there to support you with your learning at Kent. I have always found it easy to go and have a chat with them, whether it is about the content, career choices or just life in general.\u00a0 They\u2019re super supportive, friendly and don\u2019t bite, I promise!<\/p>\n
\nHow could you possibly be bored?<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nLucky for you, the Medway campus has ton\u2019s of restaurants, gyms, shops, bars and entertainment within close proximity of the campus and Liberty Quays for you to choose from. From Taco-bell, Starbucks, ODEON, and a trampoline park at the Dockside to student bars such as Cargo and the Deep End, your choices are practically endless! If that\u2019s not enough for you, the Bluewater Shopping Centre, Canterbury High Street and Central London is only a bus\/train journey away and takes less than an hour to get to. Convinient? I think so! Whilst you\u2019re out there, don\u2019t forget to check out the Strand. You won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also pretty easy to get down to the Canterbury campus if you ever feel like visiting our sister campus. Just hop on the free King\u2019s Ferry shuttle bus at any of it\u2019s stops and off you go.<\/p>\n

\nAn empty wallet doesn\u2019t have to mean an empty stomach<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI myself have been low on cash at times and have found it ideal to cook with my flatmates or make large batches of food which you can store, freeze and heat up later on to save yourself a bit of money. We\u2019d mostly end up cooking a mean stir-fry and it works out to be less than \u00a33.00 for a meal if you share with a few of your mates. Otherwise, a large batch of food should keep you going for a week or two!<\/p>\n

\nEnjoyment isn\u2019t exclusive<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI couldn\u2019t have been happier with my time at Kent. It has undoubtedly been the best four years of my life and I wish I could do it all over again. But now it\u2019s your turn! Make the most of your time at uni and enjoy your time there! J<\/p>\n
