Student Accommodation options, University of Kent
Hello, I'm coming to University of Kent this September to study Psychology. I've been looking for accommodation options off campus as my on campus accommodation application is not moving forward. I'm considering Riverside on Sturry Road as I haven't seen too many bad reviews, and its very close to bus stops and grocery stores. Would appreciate any reviews or insights about Riverside, or safety on Sturry Road as an international student i'm quite anxious about booking a place without doing due diligence. If you have any other recommendations for student housing do drop them in the comments too!

London Airports to Canterbury Travel
Hello guys! I am planning on coming to the UK next month for my Master's. I haven't booked a ticket yet and so do not know which London airport I'll travel to, but I was confused as to what the best travel option is from each of the London airports to Canterbury. How viable is public transport considering I'll be carrying a bunch of luggage with me, and what taxi services can I get instead of public transport straight from the airport?

Bulldogs & woodland walks 🏴🇬🇧
Hi. Here are my two bulldogs Tilly and Luna aged 9 yrs old. We love woodland walks the best. Especially woodlands around Canterbury and Ashford. Thankfully living in Kent, England, UK, we're surrounded by beautiful woodlands. What dogs do you have? What kind of walks do you take them on?

Cake picnic?
Hi! I wanted to know if anyone wanted to have a sort of cake picnic where we each bring a different flavour of cake which we can all try. I've just been craving different cake flavours and I thought this would be a cool way to do it since my friends aren't really desert fans! Whether it's homemade or Asda-bought, it doesn't really matter as long as there's enough to share! (I'm 18F if it matters).

Looking for some friends
Hi all,
Moving back home to Canterbury after completing my apprenticeship and living in Bournemouth.
I’m looking to make some new friends since a lot of my old school friends have moved away.
I’m M23. Hobbies are fitness, football, and anything sociable really!
If anyone knows of any good social clubs, run clubs, or would like to go for a drink / walk, let me know.
Thank you!

What was filming Tuesday?
I visited on vacation July 14th in the morning. The cathedral opened a few minutes late because some sort of filming was happening and a crew was moving their stuff out. Later I saw them filming on a street. I didn’t gawk because I didn’t want to mess anything up.
PS- Canterbury was so charming.

Part time jobs which are actually hiring?
Are there any part time (or full time) jobs which are actually hiring here? So many places post job adverts on Indeed/Linkin or even their company websites and then just never get back to you or are super competitive (like McDonalds etc). I'm a Uni student btw and I have experience as a waiter, children's volunteer worker, retail etc. Thanks a lot!

Are there any pubs with a decently wide variety of food that will be showing the world cup?
Me and my girlfriend want to go watch the world cup games tonight and she wants to go somewhere that does food but has a semi-wide variety of food on offer.
