But you never know what&#8217;s around the corner and I missed out on my first choice by one grade, and it hurt. My first choice offered to take me for a sports coaching course instead of sports science, which I knew wasn\u2019t right for me. I suddenly found myself in Clearing with not much of a back-up plan.<\/p>\n<p>I panicked at first and started looking at universities I knew nothing about and had never been to. Although I hadn&#8217;t applied to the University of Kent through my UCAS application, and I hadn\u2019t looked around the Canterbury campus, I knew friends a few years older who studied a similar course and rated it highly.<\/p>\n<p>So I applied and found Kent\u2019s Clearing service very helpful and the process was straightforward. I was put in touch with the head of admissions for my degree, who happily answered any questions I had. As I\u2019m from the Kent area I wasn\u2019t sure whether I wanted to go to a university close to home, but it was the best decision I made!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Robyn Jones is now in her final year year at Kent, studying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/courses\/undergraduate\/171\/sport-and-exercise-science\">Sport and Exercise Science BSc<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clearing at Kent is open!<\/strong>\u00a0Find out\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/clearing\">how to apply.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/files\/2023\/08\/robyn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1278\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/unikentsportsci\/files\/2023\/08\/robyn.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Robyn Jones\" width=\"180\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kent\u2019s Clearing service was very helpful and the process was straightforward.
