Overall, my uni experience has been really positive. It’s a pretty new university, which shows in the facilities, and there’s a lot of support available if you need it. The lectures are generally good and engaging, which makes a big difference. That said, there have been some frustrating moments, especially with miscommunication around things like timetables—it can get confusing and a bit stressful when information isn’t clear or changes last minute. The handling of the meningitis situation could also have been better, as we only got an email quite late after cases had already been reported, which didn’t feel very reassuring. Outside of uni, Canterbury is a nice place to live and has a great atmosphere, even if it can be a little boring at times.

One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment. The lecturers at Canterbury Christ Church University are approachable and knowledgeable, especially Danni, Allan Mount and Prof. Luke. There are plenty of resources available to help students succeed, such as libraries and study spaces. However, some areas could be improved; at times, communication between the university and students can be unclear or delayed Overall, while my experience has been positive, I have enjoyed my stay as a student at Canterbury Christ Church University.

It was enough good but international student are facing problem financially in Uk so you have to arrange job of management and admin. The cost of living is too much expensive in Uk. As you already know that Govt allowed only 20 hours a week. So discuss this matter with the Govt. Try to sort out the problems of the student. So they feel comfortable during studies.

More vegan food on campus would be appreciated but there are options. Changes to the way wellbeing works has made things difficult, for me. Support from PAT has been great but Support from studentzone/wellbeing less so. Easy access location, on a unesco site, which is such a privilege.

Environment is good, lecturers are helpful and nice

The best experience was the environment of the university to study, I don’t think so that I had any bad experiences in the university it is really nice

The best aspect of my time at Canterbury Christ Church University has been the strong sense of purpose and community. As a Primary Education student, I have never felt like I am just completing assignments for grades, everything we study connects directly to the responsibility and privilege of shaping young lives. That link between theory and real classroom practice has been incredibly motivating. School placements have been particularly transformative. They have pushed me beyond my comfort zone, strengthened my resilience, and helped me discover the kind of teacher I aspire to be, reflective, patient, and committed to creating inclusive, engaging learning environments. Each placement has reinforced why I chose this career in the first place. Another standout aspect has been the support from lecturers. There is a genuine culture of encouragement at CCCU. I have felt seen as an individual, not just a student number. Academic support, wellbeing awareness, and constructive feedback have helped me grow not only academically, but personally. The most challenging aspect has been balancing placement, academic deadlines, and part-time work. There have been moments where the workload felt intense, particularly during overlapping assessment and placement periods. However, these challenges have strengthened my time management, organisation, and perseverance, all essential qualities for a future teacher. Overall, my university experience has shaped me into a more confident, reflective, and resilient individual. It has prepared me not only for a career in teaching, but for lifelong learning and contribution to my community.

Community, the university library is very dethatched and far from the main campus making it a less viable option to study in. If there was parking there more students would use it.

The facilities,hospitality and teaching is excellent

Very impressive
