There are a whole host of things that every university student will experience but there are just a few that are unique to the University of Kent.
Set in the beautiful Garden of England, we Kent students live a good life but its not all chocolate box houses, walks in the country and scones and cream. Every now again something strange, sometimes annoying interrupts.
Here are the gripes and oddities of the life of a Kent student
10 reasons to whinge if you're a student at the University of Kent
Arriving to lectures in a huff(01 of10)
At Kent we are strangely proud of our perch on the hill overlooking the city and, of course, our rivals CCCU but if you've ever looked up to the summit of Eliot footpath at 8:50, with just 10 minutes to spare before your lecture starts, you can truly appreciate the words of Spiderman: 'With great power comes great responsibility'.

Venue is an experience best enjoyed intoxicated(02 of10)
We're not saying you must be sozzled to go to The Venuebut a night of abstinence is not recommended. We're talking about the infamous 'Trend'/ '# '. You could pop out for an hour or so, come back, and be forgiven for thinking the DJ was playing the same song. House music and alcohol definitely go hand in hand (credit:Lise Gagne via Getty Images)
The strange creature that is the Canterbury tourist(03 of10)
You amble casually out of one of Canterbury's many coffee shops and all of a sudden you're caught in a stampede of wild French adolescents. Before you can shout 'arrêtez' you're already half way to Whitstable. (credit:Jeff J Mitchell via Getty Images)
'I Love London'???(04 of10)
We don't mean to bang on but the antics of Canterbury's tourists have again annoyed us. We're baffled. Why do the hordes of people that travel to Canterbury buy ' I Love London' T-shirts?... You're in Canterbury! (credit:Oli Scarff via Getty Images)
Two words: Fire Alarm(05 of10)
Ahhh, many of you will know where I am going with this. I am, of corse, referring to the ritualistic 8:30am weekly fire alarm that leaves many a student in a grump. You have no lectures. You've planned lie-in. But UKC has different ideas. Being woken up is only half the ordeal. The second phase is one of humiliation and chilliness. We've all stood outside in underwear and slippers. When will it end UKC? (credit:CollinsChin via Getty Images)
How do Kent students manage to burn toast?(06 of10)
I'm not finished on the topic of fire alarms. On the off chance that the alarm has sounded and it isn't a drill, you can almost always assume that some twonk has tried to cook their first slice of toast, failed miserably, and set fire to the toaster. (credit:Michael Blann via Getty Images)
Dodging the election leafleters (07 of10)
Cast your mind back to the dreaded chaos of election. You can't walk from the Library to Essentials without someone stopping you to promote their mate from the Table Tennis Society for the Sports Vice President. (Seek Diversion) (credit:Michael Casey/Flickr)
Walking through campus is like an episode of Farthing Wood(08 of10)
Kent's campus is home to all manner of cute animal. Not a week goes by on Spotted@Kent University without a snap of someone hugging a rabbit or domesticising a duck. Kent wouldn't be quite the same without our feathered friends! (credit:Spotted: Kent University/Facebook)
The weighted door(09 of10)
Does anyone else find that opening doors around campus to be an experience not unlike opening The Black Gates of Mordor?
The Labyrinths of Eliot and Rutherford(10 of10)
These mazes are the stuff of legends. Built by an architect rumoured to be the designer of prisons; Eliot and Rutherford are not buildings you're supposed to escape! (credit:Floresco Productions via Getty Images)
