TWO DAYS IN THE LIFE OF A KENT UNIVERSITY STUDENT | VLOG | AFIA KUFUOR

[@sweetheart268]

can you make a video on financial stability, like having a part time job and how that helps sustain your living at university. i'm really confused on how people handle money at university

[@AfiaKufuor]

I'm more than happy to film that for you! I can have it ready to upload on Jan 4th. If you want advice on this topic sooner then email me on [e-mail] but if not then I will definitely have a vid for u in 2 weeks time xxx

[@sweetheart268]

Afia Kufuor okay thank you :)

[@AfiaKufuor]

Hey hun, I have to release the financial stability vid next Wednesday (11th Jan)! I haven't forgotten that you requested it xx

[@sweetheart268]

thank you xx

[@EbunZara]

Watching this after I’ve actually completed my first year at Uni makes it so relatable 😭 so many things you said, cook in bulk, make sure you are the one putting yourself out there, no one will remind you about deadlines 😭😭😭

[@AfiaKufuor]

So nice to hear your views after watching it once you’ve completed first year! Well done for getting through! 💘

[@iabuja]

Yay! I stayed in 213 Tyler Court A in 2006/2007. Miss Kent.

[@pennyxo3026]

Found this video at the perfect time! I'm so undecided about whether to apply for Kent or Surrey and I'm applying on Thursday!! What's Kent really like? Especially as a woman of colour? I've always been in an environment where it's so diverse but I've heard some real horror stories about uni.

[@AfiaKufuor]

I'm so glad you found this video and funnily enough I applied to both Kent and Surrey! I'd be more than happy to discuss this further with you and help you with your decision. Please email me at: [e-mail] so we can chat! xx

[@AfiaKufuor]

[@emilymorgan3755]

I'm class of 1988, things have changed a lot and new buildings have popped up everywhere. We had no security until a couple of years after when a student got raped, but security was still crap. University of Kent was better back in those days. Getting accommodation was really hard back then, don't know what it's like now. This is the place whee I learnt about new cultures as I was quite blind to it. You never go to uni to learn your field, all you do is party 24 hours.

[@Hannah-jv4bm]

What's the best accommodation? What accommodation are you in?

[@AfiaKufuor]

I personally though where I stayed was the best (bit biased) - Tyler Court B x

[@kieghatlanta1068]

Absolutely love your videos and this one in particular, I currently in year 13 I've sent off my application already and have a great offer for Kent and am looking at firming it however I have a few questions would you be able to answer any of them? I'd really appreciate it

[@AfiaKufuor]

+Kiegh Atlanta definitely! Email me hunny! [e-mail] xx

[@Anam-mb2sg]

Loved the vlog! I've got an offer from Kent and I was wondering how paying for accommodation works, like do you pay whilst living there?

[@AfiaKufuor]

thank you! & yeah you pay whilst living there. You can pay all upfront or in instalments divided up by each term I believe

[@hawksmoor9007]

Opinions on the uni ? There's an open day for jt next week as well as for Liverpool I don't know which to go just because my friend went to the open day last week and they didn't like it at all apparently people went helpful or friendly so would be helpful to know u think esp about diversity and being of race

[@AfiaKufuor]

+Hawks Moor definitely come to the open day so you can see the uni for yourself and form your own opinion. I throughly enjoy it here and genuinely find people very nice & friendly. Uni is massive there are so many people and whoever your friend had a bad experience, the likelihood that you even come across them is slim. In terms of diversity I feel as thought the uni is increasingly become diverse each year. & in terms of being black there are a few “problems” in regards to nightlife but really uni is for education and thats all good so yeahhhh ☺️ hope I helped x

[@brydiemurphy5194]

Love this video! I got an offer from Kent a couple of days ago! What accommodation are you staying in? And is there anything you can tell me about any of the other accommodation? Thanks :)

[@AfiaKufuor]

+Brydie Murphy congratulations! I'm in Tyler Court B! It's amazing! & avoid Rutherford, Darwin and Eliott! Best ones are Tyler Court B/C or A, Turing and the refurbished Parkwood flats. Any other questions please email me [e-mail] xx

[@brydiemurphy5194]

Afia Kufuor that's great! Thank you!

[@Anam-mb2sg]

Loved the video! I’ve firmed Kent and I have a couple questions: is there a free bus that goes into town or do uni students have to pay and how is Kent in terms of diversity?

[@AfiaKufuor]

Thank you for watching! 1) the bus to town isn’t free. A day pass is £2.90 or something like that or you can buy a whole years pass at the start of the year! 2) ... as in most places those of an ethnic background are the minority and you may notice this more in your lectures and seminars but this isn’t something that should put you off Kent. It will be like that in a lot of places and I personally haven’t been negatively affected by it. Hope that helps x

[@Anam-mb2sg]

Afia Kufuor that has definitely put me at ease - thank you!

[@derekberchie]

Great vid, keep it up!!!

[@AfiaKufuor]

+Derek Berchie thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@SuperElise21]

Do you easily get hair stuff like braiding hair and wigs in Canterbury? Wondering if I would have to go all the way to London for hair supplies.

[@AfiaKufuor]

+Elise Marcelle I was only at Kent for a few months but there were people on campus doing hair all the time! You'll deffo come across the right people to hook u up x

[@ayanwarsame2528]

Hi afia! Does Turing and Tyler court have an actual shower cubicle because Keynes didn't when I went to the applicant day

[@AfiaKufuor]

Hi Ayan, all the Turing, Tyler and Keynes flats have en-suites.. So if you want your own shower pick a flat not a house

[@hollymiller5986]

[@lovedrakexx]

Afia Kufuor I have already applied to unis to study history and theology /philosophy but was semi scared as I felt like I would be one of the few black people who study history... But I love history, and I've never met another black girl who studies history in Britain !

[@gelly2000]
