University of Kent at Canterbury, The Registry, CT2 7NZ Canterbury, United Kingdom
3.96 / 5 based on 126 reviews.
Description:
The University of Kent was granted its Royal Charter in 1965 and the first students arrived in the October of that year. The single-site campus covers 300 acres and is just over a mile from Canterbury's city centre. In 1997 the University opened a new centre, the Bridge Wardens' College, in Chatham's Historic Dockyard. This is an addition to the University Centre at Tonbridge, which caters for continuing education and part-time students.

“Advice: keep in touch with your family and friends from your home country without going back there too much, to be able to fully live the experience. Watch out sterotypes and make too many sweeping statements.” Read Review
