Keele is the UKs prettiest university =D My advice to students thinking of coming here explore campus and you will fall in love with it.
It is okay, i am unsure if i would recommend it, as the course isn't brilliant, nor is the accommodation, but we have a great student union and lots of clubs and societies, it is really social here.
Love it here , great campus with everything you need around you. Support, student union and all other facilities are great here.
Lecturers are sometimes dull and teach things that are no nessessery . Accommodation is often expensive and requires a lot of changes and care. City life is too far away , the university bars are the only public houses for us students. Facilities are decent - but it is very obvious that a lot of staff do not care greatly about students and that those who do only care about their own evaluations / modules. It is abhorrent that I spend 9k for 8h of contact a week, i wonder what I am spending my money on. I am in despair here at Keele.
I enjoy university and like the atmosphere. Keele is a great place to study it provides plenty of support if required and is a social friendly and active place to learn.
I have loved it! Met loads of awesome people, learned things and had a great time! Biggest piece of advice is it is a big change comingt o university so don't be scared and if things are quite right in the first week or two stick it out, it takes a while to settle into any university.
The overall experience is enjoyable, I am unsure whether or not this is due to the university however as I have no other basis for comparison I would recommend it.
The campus is beautiful, you have everything you need, the SU is great for a cheap drunken (or not!) night out with great acts throughout the year. My course is fantastic and is preparing me well for the real world.
After changing my mind last minute and coming to keele instead of Nottingham, I couldnt be happier that I made this decision. Best school year of my life! Staff are excellent, course is interesting and a nice balance between practicals and lectures. Made some of the best friends and had some of the best nights out ever here
Being a student at Keele is like being part of a community. The identity of the University is defined by being situated on a single campus but the University provides facilities that mean you can get everything you need. Situated with lakes and woodland, there's plenty of green space and there are clubs and societies to fit any passion or hobby. If you don't find something you like, you can set up your own groups! The lecturers and academic support are fantastic. Their passion for their subjects shines through and Keele's active involvement with research really shows with the dynamic approach to delivery of Teaching and Learning within the University. As a student studying the environment, I can get involved with a wide range of projects and groups to complement my studies, whilst the modules put together to make the award I'm studying work extremely well to build a solid foundation on which to continue my studies over the years to come. I am so pleased I chose Keele!
I am generally very happy with Keele. The overall atmosphere and experience here is close nit and friendly. There is a big emphasis on making sure that university is a positive experience for everyone and there are lots of opportunities for people to get involved in different things. The standard of teaching is very high.
I love keele! It's only my first year but i feel like I've been here years. The hours in are quite long but that means you get a lot more contact time, and learn more. The assessments have tested us but the marking has been great and given good feedback. I've made some amazing friends, the halls are okay but you live with what you get, and my block is very social! It's very easy to make friends, and the student union put on some great entertainment.
Keele is amazing it doesn't just give u a uni experience it changes you
Excellent place to be! The humanities department are fantastic - from admin straight through to lecturers every single member of staff will go out of their way to make time for you & help you when needed. Plus, they're all pretty cool! Beautiful campus, not too far from Stoke so you can get everything you need, close to the station and an easy drive up the M6!
I had a great three years at Keele; the campus is great and the teaching is excellent.
Keele university has an exceptional students union, with lots of top artists performing, not to mention their own 12 hour summer festival. All university staff are friendly and approachable, and will go that extra mile if you need help. The facilities at Keele are first class with many computer and wifi around the whole campus. The only thing that I would say that lets keele down is the city life, as the campus university is in the middle of nowhere, but the students union entertainment makes up for this. Finally there are so many sports and societies at Keele you're bound to find something you enjoy.
Keele is a fantastic place to study. If you want a campus university look no further. The courses are amazing and the real comunity feel really helps you fall in love the place. Love : Keele
Keele is fantastic it is a shame the Lectures get in the way. The friends you make here will be for life. Just do not stay locked in your room for the entire first week go out meet people and enjoy yourself.
My course is fantastic. So many intersting topics you can study i want to learn everything my lectureres are teaching me and i even want to read around the subject. such and inspiring place.


I am really enjoying university, my advice to future students would be to enjoy the university experience whilst it lasts!!! It doesn't last forever :(
