Kent as a university lacks the personality that many other universities have developed. Its attempt at a colligate system really does not match that of places such as Oxford or Cambridge and its 60's architecture gives it an overall depressing environment. Many of the courses at Kent are highly recomended, however though Canterbury is very quaint, you will need your own transport, and be wary of the cults and religous groups the town and university attracts (unfortunatly associated with Canterburys religious status). The university itself does have good links to industry and did pioneer the Erasmus scheme into Europe. I found many of the students there were the sort that perhaps missed out on Oxbridge, yet again not having the personality.
