Student tips.

What to pack.

Bring your spices.
Don’t bring a coat, buy one when you get here.
Bring something from home for your room.

Settling in.

Make the most of Welcome Week! There’s so much going on you don’t have much time to be homesick. I took part in a ‘colour run’, very similar to Holi.

Faith on campus

Although there isn‘t a Hindu temple nearby, there are prayer spaces on campus. I‘ve made a space in my room to pray.

Discover Canterbury.

Go into Canterbury, it’s just a 25-minute walk away. There’s lots to explore and there are students from other unis around too, so you’ll meet different people and build up your community.

Home away from home.

Meeting people from other cultures is fun but the Hindu Society and the Indian Society give you a little bit of home on campus – club nights with Indian music, cricket and football matches.

Eat English Indian food!

Try the Ancient Raj or Kashmiri Tandoori in Canterbury. Also London isn‘t far, if you go to Southall or Hounslow, you’ll get great Indian food!

Dealing with homesickness

Join societies, a great way to meet people and keep busy. Keep in mind all the good times and focus on enjoying your time at Kent, home will always be there. 

Show off your new uni.

I took my family back home on a tour of the campus via video call, that was great.

Hi, I’m Varsha.

"My first week at Kent was very busy, there were lots of events organised for the MBA cohort, we went on a tour of Canterbury, including to the Cathedral which was amazing, so beautiful. It was  great to get to know each other and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve really involved myself in campus life, I’m a student rep for the MBA and an MBA ambassador."
