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.

Due to a lot of interaction with international students from all over the world, the only common language used was English.

Understanding lectures and teachers has been easier than interacting with students sometimes. It took me a while before I could feel at ease with groups of peers. Many social activities helped me with that. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
