Kent has two different accommodation locations which include the Flex Meal Plan; Keynes College and Becket Court.
Free up more time for your studies and social life, with our grab-and-go options, or just take the pressure off having to cook for yourself. Our included Flex Meal Plan is ideal for students who wish to enjoy tasty, high-quality meals, hassle-free.
If you live in self-catered accommodation but would rather not cook for yourself, you can add the Flex Meal Plan as an optional extra to your accommodation package.
All students living in Becket Court or Keynes College (blocks F,G,H and I) will be given £14 daily credit to spend on food and drink (term time only). This can be used across the Canterbury campus in Kent-run catering outlets, giving you the freedom to choose whatever you want to eat, whenever you want to eat it.
Students living in accommodation with an included Flex Meal Plan also have access to a communal kitchenette which can be used to prepare drinks and snacks whenever you like.
The £14 credit renews each day. Any unused balance from the previous day cannot be refunded or carried over to the next.
Where can I use it?

Your later arrival date will have been factored into the cost of your accommodation so that you will only be paying for the time you are living on campus.
If you have/want to opt into the Flex Meal Plan there is the option to join at the start of the year in September or in January at a reduced rate.
