Why did you apply to study at Kent (new students) or what is your favourite thing about Kent Uni (returning students)? Kent has amazing sporting facilities and so many different groups you can join both competitively and non competitively, meaning there’s something for everyone.
What are you looking forward to experiencing most on the Scheme this year? I am looking forward to working with the coaches and other scholars in S+C sessions and building both my strength and bonds with others.
