Medway

I love grabbing a book and walking to the pier in Pier Quays. You can watch some boats, chill on a bench and take in some fresh air. It’s very peaceful. Rochester High Street has some of the best independent coffee shops in Medway too. It’s a great place to have a wander around and grab a coffee. A personal favourite is The Deaf Cat Café right across the street from Rochester cathedral – well worth a visit. It was the first independent coffee shop I visited when I moved to Medway.

The Drill Hall Library quiet study space is my favourite. It’s very calming and seeing so many other people working super hard motivates me. The group study area of the Library has always been a hot spot to hang out. It’s so central, you can do your work after lectures or seminars, and get some food while you’re at it. There are also lots of common rooms scattered across campus so you’re sure to find one that suits you. And don’t miss out on student support. Look at webpages, social media platforms and your emails to make sure you are taking advantage of all the opportunities at Kent.
