Why did you apply to study at Kent (new students) or what is your favourite thing about Kent Uni (returning students)? My favourite thing about Kent Uni would be the sense of community in each society, the hockey society was so welcoming to all the new freshers. The S&C coaches are very helpful and go the extra mile to push us and aid us in reaching our personal goals.

With the Paris Olympics next summer in mind what is your favourite Olympics moment or favourite Olympian? Rio 2016: Long-distance runners, Abbey D’Agostino from USA and Nikki Hamblin from New Zealand, encouraging each other to finish the race after they both fell.
