Living in Canterbury as a student
Serving as the seat of three universities in England’s South-East—University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, and University for the Creative Arts— Canterbury is home to about 31,000 students.

Students make up the largest proportion of residents of the city in the whole of England, with one in five studying at one of the three universities. This makes Canterbury a particularly attractive destination for those hoping to experience the social and academic life of a university to the fullest.
Students have access to 24 halls of residence altogether, some of which are university-owned.

Canterbury’s private halls offer fantastic access to city’s amenities, with students given a variety of options to choose from.
