With travel to campus being so easy it is no wonder that many of our students make the decision to commute into uni.
Whatever your situation commuting to university comes with many benefits—it can help you save on costs by living at home, staying close to family, or managing work commitments more easily.
Whether you prefer to walk, cycle, catch the bus or train, or drive, we offer a range of sustainable travel options, excellent facilities, and great discounts on public transport to help make your journey go smoothly.
And when on campus there are lots of great places to make the most of your time and enjoy the full student experience.
Our network of campuses stretch across Kent and Medway and are easy to get to by foot, bike, train, bus or car. Find out how to travel to any of our campuses or centres.
Try KentConnect - a journey planner to provide you with information tailored to you, so you can make the right choice on how best to get to campus.
For those planning to cycle in or run, there are cycle stands, lockers and showers across campus.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we encourage where possible the use of public transport and cycling to campus through a range of discounts and facilities. Have a look at the discounts available on public transport.
You can easily get to our Canterbury Campus by walking, cycling, or taking a bus or train.
There is no student parking on Canterbury campus as we are in a city centre location but if you need to drive Park and Ride car parks are a good value, convenient and sustainable options.
And why not also consider car sharing with other commuters, to reduce your costs and impact on the environment as well as great way to meet people.
If you have a registered disability, and you are not able to use public transport or Park and Ride, you can apply for a paid parking permit - spaces are limited and cannot always be guaranteed.
Students who need to use our Polo Farm sports and teaching facilities, can park their car there.
You can walk, cycle, or catch a bus or train to Medway Campus or Tunbridge Wells Campus.
Students can apply for a parking permit that can be used to park a car at one of the CCCU car parks at the Medway and Tunbridge Well campuses. Parking with a permit is on a first-come-first-served basis and so a permit does not always guarantee a space.
I can promise you that just because you are someone who commutes to and from CCCU you will not be alone, you will be okay and you will find your feet. You may even find that uni ends up feeling like a home away from home, this is definitely something that I felt within my first year as a commuter and absolutely loved being on campus.
