Personal comments
living in self-accommodation on campus is recommendable although you have to consider the campus can get noisy and you can't really choose your house mates. And a lot of people living in self-accomodation on campus are Erasmus so if you want to live with English people you might be disappointed or should explicitly ask for a room in a house with English students.

Academic
Course recommendations
I only did 4 modules in the whole year and had fewer lessons than at my home university. You're expected to study a lot on your own and work a lot for your essays.

Personal comments
I think Eglish universities should offer more modules offering you an overview and Eglish students should have to do a few more instead of focussing on just some particular areas.

Final comments
if you're musical, The university of Kent is perfect for you. The choir, conducted by Sue is great fun - I still miss it a lot!...
If you're catholic or Christian or just looking for a lovely group of people or for brilliant week-end trips, step into St.John Stone House where the Chtholic Society meets. Mass on Sunday is followed by a Pot Luck Lunch in St. John Stone House; a unique opportunity to have a relaxed Sunday luchtime and afternoon.
