> Mark Russell works at the University of Cambridge in Kent England. Difficult - as NO such place exists ! Cambridge is North (or NE) of London, up in fen country (Suffolk maybe ?) Canterbury is South East of London in the County of Kent, Skip rest of article unless you're interested: - Where they really are - What their real names are - How confusion arises The "University of Kent at Canterbury" (known as UKC .. as in hensa.ukc.ac.uk) is on a hill overlooking Canterbury Cathedral in Kent England Cambridge uses the abbreviation "Cantab." (no idea why, maybe Latin ?). Canterbury University is in New Zealand (NZ named their Canterbury after Canterbury in England, then NZ built their University first, so we couldn't use the same name of Canterbury University, one reason it's called UKC) There probably now exists both: The University of Cambridge A Cambridge University B as many towns & cities in the UK saw an upgrade of their Polytechnics to University status recently, I think this happenened at Cambridge too, I think (A) is the original. I studied at UKC, & liked Canterbury so much I didn't leave the city for 5 years after graduating, Cambridge is also a nice place, but it's not in Kent. --- Julian Stacey <jhs@freebsd.org> Tel. +49 89 268616.
