We are one of only a handful of UK universities to have a collegiate system. Colleges aren’t just where students live in their first year. They are places to relax, socialise and make friends with people of many nationalities and from across all subjects.
As well as lecture theatres, seminar rooms and computer rooms, they house the bars, social areas and dining rooms that create a sociable, diverse and close-knit college community. They also provide a valuable support network, offering a range of social activities and professional services.
College affiliation is linked to your accommodation, so take a look at our Student Guide to see where you could belong.
Support network
ResLife Ambassadors (RLAs) are students who host events and opportunities for residential students to spend time together on campus. They're here to help you enjoy your experience in accommodation at Kent, and can signpost you to support and advice.

Food and drink
Every college has somewhere you can relax and enjoy something to eat or drink. The diverse range of catering outlets on campus means you can sample menus from around the world. From a classic roast in Rutherford to beef brisket in Darwin, or a flamin’ nacho burger in Eliot to Thai vegetable curry in Keynes – you won’t have trouble finding something you fancy.
