New first-year students who select Kent as their first choice are guaranteed a place in University accommodation and free Premium Plus Kent Sport membership. At the Canterbury campus, we have accommodation to suit everyone, whether you want to cook for yourself or have meals included, live in a flat with an en-suite bathroom or a house with shared facilities. For postgraduate students we have a wide range of single self-catering rooms and a small number of studio flats.
At Medway, rooms are available at Pier Quays, which is on the river and a short walk from the campus; they are all en-suite, and arranged in flats of five to eight people. Pier Quays is managed by Unite Students, separate from the University, and shared with students from Canterbury Christ Church and Greenwich universities.
At both Canterbury and Medway, student union advice centres provide help and guidance for students who choose to live off campus.
