You let us know you wanted more places to hang out, especially where you could heat up your own food. We have upgraded some of our social spaces and also increased the number of these social spaces at our campuses, based on your student feedback.

If there is an issue with any of the social spaces or you want to provide any feedback, please email uniops@kent.ac.uk.
