Best: the lecturers are kind and helpful and make their subjects interesting and engaging. The facilities are cutting edge and easy to maneuver Worst: bus access from both sides (Nantwich and Newcastle) are not enough to get everyone to their lessons on time. The new change to lecture times (on the hour to ten to) will make many people late, especially for 9 am lectures
I think this is best university around city.
Nothing
the cost of things around campus is a bit much. the support offered to students who are in need could be improved, as someone who has a few disabilities the little extra support would be nice.

Staff are so helpful and friendly, there's lots of opportunities to get involved with, and the Students Union is amazing!!
The best aspects: - It is in a very quiet area with a lot of nature and greenery around - Staff and other students are very friendly it was not hard to make friends at all - The student union team is very welcoming and diverse The worst aspects: - It is a bit far away from the city-center so there are not many activities to do with friends outside of university - It is located on an upside hill so its quite difficult to walk to the university
More events
The campus is very green and big, it's a lovely place to live and study in. However, it's not in a major town, which can be an inconvenience at times, as there's less to do.
Best aspect is the campus in general. The size and homely feel to it all. The worst is that is not as modern as other places and still quite old fashioned with the buildings and accommodation.

Not enough support from lecturers and tutors as they don't tend to reply to emails when you need them the most.

while studying at Keele University I have had some troubles with the Keele app such as being logged out often and it not allowing me to check into lectures and clinical skills sessions. I have also had many positive experiences such as gigs as the students union and good communication with the lecturers, its in a very good place and is well sign posted so its hard to get lost. there is also a lot of places to spend time with friends in the heart of the campus such as the KPA the squirrel and costa, there is lots of options swell as it being a beautiful university with a large campus and many options of subjects to choose from meaning meeting a lot of new friends.
I believe Keele is a great university and continously looks for ways to give students the best support needed.
Very nice campus with reasonable facilities. Poor communication from the uni to students though. Publishing timetables very late, changing and adding in sessions to timetables with no notice.
Facilities are great, on campus life is amazing, always interesting things to do. Classes are informative and useful, resources updated regularly online.
Best - the environment, being able to take walks and bond with the campus and nature. Worst - travelling to and from campus to off campus accommodation
The campus is beautiful and very eco friendly, Keele is excellent for sustainability and upkeep of the environment. The accommodation is nice and a good neutral colour on the outside as well so isn’t off putting. The library is open 24/7 and is full of everything you can need for studying and plenty of staff on hand to support you as well. The student union has great food and the centre has excellent shops as well. The SU puts on different nights out as well as the KPA.
The effort of Keele University in engaging with their students is what makes it interesting and likeable. Each voice and opinion is heard and evaluated accordingly enhancing a sense of “keele community”.
The Student Support at this University is abysmal. It is impossible to get any help in terms of finances, courses, etc. Even after multiple emails and calls. The course itself is good for the most part but the student services, records, finance and appeals teams are absolute jokes that seem reluctant to do their job with any sort of speed or care for the students. They have led to much stress and a spiralling mental condition.
