Whether you are going for the day or living in the city, Canterbury is always a wonderful place to see and be in. Throughout the year, there are always things to see and do. Here are 20 signs that you are a student of Canterbury Christ Church’s University.
Saying the whole name of the university is a bit of a mouthful, which is why a lot of people just refer to Canterbury Christ Church’s University as CCCU. It’s just easier that way.
The famous cathedral of Canterbury was visible almost anywhere you were. I was told during my first year that if you ever got lost, always head towards the cathedral.
Both of which had the loveliest beaches, perfect for a sunny day out during the summer.
Canterbury is famous for its arts and culture. Every October, arts and culture were populated more than usual round the city. Sometimes, pianos pop up around the city to give anybody the chance to play.
Sometimes, these were students prepping for their performance. Other occasions, it was just a random group of players wanting to take advantage of the perfect weather and visitors. Its always lovely to listen whilst you’re doing your shopping. There are so many free concerts round the university by both performers in and out of the university.
As a student, getting in is free. You’ll be able to graduate here but its always lovely to admire it. There are so many events you can go to during the year or you can just go in during the day just to admire this famous building.
The carol service of the year which always sells out within a few days of release. Every year, people come into the cathedral during the evening only to be illuminated by candlelight. Its always a great concert to go to to get into the spirit of Christmas.
Not necessarily to go out for a drink, but to have one of their great meals. It’s a great place to be either way, and a great place for societies to meet up for a social.
It’s the most famous club in Canterbury, full of event and special guests. If you wanted to dress up for a fun night out, this is one of the best places to go.
Which were always filled with society meetings and events run by the Student Union and even societies.
Or a small bus ride away. Which is handy as parking is very hard round Canterbury.
Compared to most universities, Canterbury Christ Church’s University was considered to be quite a tiny university. Although you may get lost on the first few days, everything becomes familiar quite quickly.
Particularly between the Canterbury Christ Church’s University and the University of Kent. It’s a great time to support the university whilst watching sports.
From John Dane Park to the city centre itself, there is always a good place to catch the scenery round this city, particularly if you needed a break from studying.
The city centre is always full of may shops and markets, particularly during Christmas, when the city centre is filled of stalls perfect for Christmas presents.
Bringing in several famous acts such as “Scouting For Girls”, the Summer Ball is always the largest party of the year full of amazing music and events round the university.
Some societies create their own balls, both during the summer and during the end of the winter ball.
Whether it was during the school holidays or during term time, Canterbury is always a tourist attraction. You could usually tell by the large sea of students moving round the city centre.
From the students to the staff, everyone here is welcoming and friendly. Whether you needed to talk to someone or need to get directions to somewhere on campus, there is always some friendly face who could help.
With the cosiness of the university to the beautiful scenery, it’s a great place to study and meet new people.
