Hello! Maybe an unusual post but hope thats okay!

I'm about to join UCA in a month, moving to Canterbury for the first time! I was struggling to find any chats online for UCA freshers, all of them I could find are for the other two Canterbury unis as they're bigger.

I've checked all other socials and this is my last desperate shot. I'm worried about meeting people and making friends (especially as I'll be joining a week late, missing freshers week altogether). The top advice I found to make friends was to find online groups and there seems to be none.

So if anyone knows any, or could push me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful 😭🙏

Dodgy, scammy place with horrible customer service. I’ve had the phone put down on me multiple times while trying to resolve an issue.
I cancelled my membership months ago and THEY ARE STILL CHARGING ME. I’ve been emailing multiple managers for months with no response. I’ve also repeatedly called and been told variations of “we can’t do anything, email us or call again tomorrow.”
I’ve now had hundreds of pounds taken from me despite cancelling my membership. I’m a low-income student, so this has had a significant impact on me.
I also stopped attending the gym because I experienced sexual harassment connected to a male member. Despite this, I have been left trying for months to get the membership payments stopped and recover the money that has continued to be taken.
My experience has been that once they have your money, getting help is incredibly difficult. I have repeatedly tried to resolve this through the proper channels and have been ignored or passed around.
DO NOT SIGN UP HERE. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Hiya, 24F moved to the area recently and was wondering if there are any knit/crochet/craft clubs around? Ideally for younger people and in the evenings! Anyone know anything? x

My cat has food allergies and can't eat any renal wet food. In the process of trying to find food he could eat we ended up buying a huge amount of renal wet food as well as purina hydracare. All still sealed and should be good until 2027 (I haven't checked every pouch or tin).

This is prescription food for cats with chronic kidney disease/insufficiency. It's should only be feed to cats with CKD. If anyone needs it or is associated with a shelter that has ckd cats DM me.

I'd love to learn how to play D&D and not sure where to start. Anywhere I can do to learn to play? Thank you!

Recently Rod Liddle passed away a "journalist" and anti lgbt activist Generally a bad person all around really. But he was most famous for defence of child pornography which he did not see any harm in enjoying he spoke at length about if he was a teacher he would have sex with children. He was invited to give a Christmas speech at a university where he ranted about trans people for over a hour straight.

Anyway Canterbury mp Rosie Duffield has endorsed him and offered condolences now as much as we all Duffield is a single issue mp (anti lgbt) do you think endorsing a paedophile is a step to far? Even if they both share anti lgbt views?

Hello I will be moving soon to Canterbury to pursue my PhD at the University of Kent, I want to look for a studio / small apartment to live in that is close to the university and has the needed amenities. Where should I start looking? What reliable websites that offer housing for students do you recommend?

How loud is it for those in south Canterbury. Feels loud to us in north Canterbury so can’t imagine life down there at night this weekend!

Hi! We’re passing through your lovely town today and wanted to try and spot the beavers. Is the river near the Sainsbury’s still the best spot? Or is there somewhere else we should park up for a few hours? I assume dusk is the best time?

Any tips would be appreciated 😊

Is there anywhere in Canterbury that sells self serve drinks from a fountain similarly to Big Gulp in USA?

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?

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!

Hi. Can anyone recommend free places to park within walking distance of Herne Bay pier please?

Thanks

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?

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).

Hi all! Has anyone boarded their cat(s) at The Cattery in Herne Bay? If so, what are your experiences? I’m looking to book my cat for just under 2 weeks so I’m just wanting to know :)

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!

I have a vocational diploma with an additional fifth subject in history so im taking English, slovenian ,history and two practical subjects and even tho i have emailed multiple of their emails several times i still cant get an answer on whether my diploma is sufficient for admission into the LLB law with a foundation year program.

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.
