The accommodation is very expensive but it’s lovely to live in. The cleaners are very efficient and come round periodically. The beds are comfortable but need a mattress topper ideally of memory foam. The rooms themselves are very up to date and stylish.
The lecture halls are beautiful and very spacious with big screens. The library is massive and always has space for doing revision - it includes all the books you’ll need plus a load more for research. The student bars are very cheap and have a friendly atmosphere and everyone enjoys going to them.
The course is engaging and has so much interesting content that it’s got something for everyone. The lecturers are passionate about their subject and so always make an effort to inform the students of what they need to know and some extra interesting points. The slides are well structured and it’s easy to revise from them - as well as the lecture recordings. The RPS scheme is super fun and it’s a great chance to learn more about working in a psychological field.
The city life is interesting. The town mostly consists of musicians and students. There are loads of shops around and a beach nearby. The cathedral is a beautiful site to see everyday. I always feel safe walking in the city at night and enjoy going to town as it’s such a warm and friendly place to be.
It’s a lot of work but it’s very interesting so its doesn’t feel too bad. The psychology lecturers are always there’s to help you if you get stuck. There are people from all walks of life in the lectures and it’s a great chance to met new people and also develop more understanding for others. The work is tough as there is a lot of content to remember but it’s helps to have such an engaging class that are willing to help you along the way. There are usually a lot of students so it’s not difficult to find others who want to help you or study with you.
History, Year 2
I went for the most affordable accommodation and I loved it! It was a lovely 5 bed house and had great facilities with great housekeeping
Library had a lot of work done to it in my first and second year. But now it has finished it is such a great place to study. There are also a good amount of restaurants and bars on campus
I really liked the fact that I had a large selection of subjects and periods I could focus on. This really helped me understand what area of history I was passionate about and thus what I should do my dissertation on. It also made the course much more tailored to myself
Lovely! Canterbury is such a lovely city and has a great student vibe. There are so many places to eat and it's so beautiful
Make the effort to talk to your lecturers and ask for advice/questions. Most of them are really passionate about their subject and want to discuss it more with you. Don't be afraid to ask!!
