Affordability

The cost of living is at the front of everyone's mind right now. At Kent...

  • Rooms are available at a range of price points to suit different student budgets, with no deposit and nothing to pay until your contract begins. Accommodation prices are fixed from December/January for the following September, so they won’t increase due to energy or other cost changes.
  • All utilities are included in your accommodation fee, including water, electricity, heating, Wi-Fi and personal possessions insurance. Part-catered accommodation also includes a meal plan. All residential students receive a free Premium Plus Kent Sport membership.
  • Contract lengths match course dates so you won’t pay for months you’re not living here, with options available that exclude the Spring and Winter vacation periods.
  • We offer competitive discounted rates if you work as a ResLife Ambassador or who have agreed for their accommodation to be shown at Open Days and other prospective student events. You can also find part-time work on campus through Kent Students' Union's Jobshop or Career's Work Study programme.
