elcome to all new students at the University of Kent. You made it, you’re here - isn’t it great? To all you golden oldies who are back for your second, third (or in my case) fourth years, welcome back! At the risk of sounding trite, student life at Kent continues to be amazing, and we’re sure
you’ll all enjoy your time here. Some advice for new students would be to never turn down an opportunity, always plan ahead - deadlines will arrive fast - and just to do as much as you can so that when that fateful graduation day does roll around, you’ll be prepared and you’ll know what you want to do with your life. Although some of us are still working on that one. It’s pretty much impossible
to go through your time at university without being involved in some group or other, and with the wealth of societies, sports clubs and volunteer organisations for you to join right here on campus, what more could you ask for? If volunteering isn’t really your thing, there is also the careers advice service on campus which will help you focus your time on worthwhile ventures, or if
you’re just looking to have fun, there are plenty of bars and clubs on campus and around town to keep you….occupied. Of course, it’d be terrible if we didn’t try to plug the group which we’re part of, so if you’re interested in writing, photography, film, TV or radio, come and get involved with Student Media. We’re nice (promise) and we’ve got our shiny new Media Centre to
Kent’s cultural hotspots: places to go and things to see. Culture page 18-19
show off. Get to Freshers’ Fayre on the 25th and 26th and get signed up to all sorts of things. We’ll be the ones with the branded balloons (oooh, spoilers). www.inquirelive.co.uk www.facebook.com/ InQuireMedia @InQuireLive
