Coventry City
Coventry is a combination of old and new, with a dazzling array of ancient and modern architecture, best seen in its two cathedrals one ruined and one new - and a lively pedestrianised city centre.The Cathedral Quarter is the most popular place for students in the town centre, which is characterized by the impressive cathedrals and a tangle of cobbled streets loaded with pubs and restaurants. The Cathedral Quarter is located right next to Coventry University. In addition, the city centre boasts brilliant museums and medieval splendour at Spon Street, while the Belgrade Theatre stages popular shows.
Student Loans
Coventry University is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
