The Crazy & Charming Canterbury Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

Everyone who works at CCCU is very friendly and helpful. They can be a bit unorganized at times, especially at the beginning and the end of the program.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Our flats in the Parham Road Student Village were a good 15 minute walk from campus, which was good and bad. It was good because we were only 2 blocks away from the grocery store, ASDA, and that helped us out a lot. It was a bit bad because we had such a walk to get to class and it was even worse to get to the library, which was closer to a 30-40 minute walk.

It is true that English food is kind of tasteless, but ASDA being so close helped us to make our own meals. Most of the pubs had pretty good food.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Our program provided many field trips that allowed us to experience even more of the country that we were living in. I'm really glad that I got to see so much more of England.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

As England has countrywide medical coverage, American students had to register with it to seek medical attention, doctor visits or prescribed medication. The University had two health centers associated with them and it was easy to register.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
