First year of uni is finally here but you have no idea what to expect – until now. Here are 20 things no one tells you about first year at University of Kent.<\/p>\n
But the excitement of leaving home will keep you going through the mile-long queue in the sports hall and the excruciating registration process.<\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n
Which, if you\u2019re unlucky, will stick with you for the rest of the year. Beecham\u2019s will become your new best friend.<\/p>\n
Make sure the washing machine door is closed tightly or the cycle will not start and you will come back to unwashed laundry.<\/p>\n
Society night or \u2018vensday\u2019 is extremely popular, as are NXT on Fridays and Soap on Saturdays.<\/p>\n
It includes entry to these events all year and the Venue is conveniently located for students living in halls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
New friends from courses and societies will be based all over campus, from Parkwood to Tyler Court.<\/p>\n
The food from the imported section is more expensive but sometimes you\u2019ll absolutely need some pop tarts.<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to have a West-facing kitchen on the top floor of my building, and the sunsets were spectacular.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, the prices in the pharmacy are very reasonable.<\/p>\n
The phone call from the Tesco driver will become the highlight of your fortnight, especially since you have been surviving (barely) on cereal and pot noodle for the previous week.<\/p>\n
These include the medical centre, Kent Union receptions and the nursing services.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having a job at university undoubtedly enhances your CV and bank account.<\/p>\n
There are many excellent and quiet seating areas where you can study in peace.<\/p>\n
Such as tuna pasta bake, beans on toast, and cereal at any time of day.<\/p>\n
They will be there for you in times of need, with a slice of toast or a shoulder to cry on.<\/p>\n
But with the help of your friends and academic staff, these will pass and, if you\u2019re as lucky as I was, you will have the best year of your life.<\/p>\n
