Canterbury is a student-friendly city with shopping, food and nights out to suit all budgets, on or off-campus
German and History BA
"There are loads of cheap places to eat; my favourite is Dolche Vita. It’s really good that they take into account that you want good, healthy food but you don’t have a lot of money, and you get a student discount with the KentOne card."
Biomedical Science
"Like any city, it depends where you shop. I like Aldi; it’s cheap and you have choice. In terms of accommodation, I’d say it was well priced and affordable for students."
History
"I’d say Canterbury is very affordable. I was comparing prices between London and Canterbury and Canterbury is a lot cheaper than London!"
Sociology
"Canterbury is a student town, so it’s geared up for student living. It’s more than affordable and you’ve always got options. In terms of eating out, it’s about knowing the right places and making the most of student deals."
