Welcome to College and Community Life

Our team of College and Community Life Officers are here to provide friendly, informal advice, support you with disputes in your accommodation and make referrals to specialist university and local support services.

We work with a group of student Residential Life Assistants to organise events, create opportunities to meet new people and connect you with your community in your residences.

Meet the College and Community Life team, and find out why we might be in touch with you directly throughout your time at Kent.

What do the College and Community Life Team do?

The College and Community Life Team are here to support you with your residential life in campus accommodation and the local community. We can support you with:

Your transition to university life

We work with campus accommodation and community services to aid your transition to independent living at university, and to guide households through early dispute resolution.
Confidential advice and guidance

We offer informal, friendly advice and can be a first point of contact to direct you to other specialist support services on the campuses and in your local community.
Discovering a sense of community

We highlight, and co-create with our student Residential Life Assistants, social opportunities, activities and events available within the local and wider community here in Kent.
Feeling safe and welcome at Kent

We want to create a diverse, inclusive and safe student community and do not tolerate any form of bullying or harassment. We can provide support with any concerns you may have within your household.
