Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspwct would be being a resident advisor. Getting to impact and better the experiences of other students whilst also being a student is really nice and I like making an impact. Another best aspect would definitely be the nature here at Keele. Taking a walk round keele hall is so therapeutic, especially since I’m from London, keele is the polar opposite being surrounded by quiet and just beautiful nature, I love it. I think the price of accomodation needs to be improved and looked at, it’s always increasing but the facilities are terrible. Barnes (the most expensive accom here) has some terrible facilities such as leaky taps which don’t get fixed until months later. Paying 8 grand for such an accommodation is not right.

Keele has really made me feel part of something. The students union, student services/support and overall academic team have made university feel so much less daunting. The campus is beautiful and really well built. I love having the opportunity to connect with nature in Keele Woods. I truly feel like I have found my home away from home. My course is extremely well structured and the school are always keen to let students’ voices be heard and to make changes to continually improve our overall experience. Keele always puts students first and host a multitude of events and activities throughout the year to enhance the community and support student wellbeing. The careers support is incredible and library facilities are excellent and easy to use. Overall, Keele has exceeded my needs and expectations. I couldn’t recommend studying here more!
I love the location. Isn't in a busy city centre but can easily access the city and is a good distance from my family home. Love the 24/7 library.

i love the su and the security of an on campus university experience
The atmosphere is so calming and it has everything you need from a great library to a great SU. What could be improved is the bus service
The downside to the university is the lack of things for students to do. The su and university do try but the surrounding areas do not add anything to do. It’s very much just the university and nothing else. The buses and parking on campus are awful. There’s never any buses and there’s never any parking spaces even though I pay for a space I’m often having to park so far away and set off earlier to park close to my lecture room. There’s not enough study spaces on campus either. The good things about the university are the societies, student opportunities like the student voice representatives, the lecturers actually care about who we are as people - we aren’t just a number to them, the science labs are high tech and the university is very pretty and there are lovely walks. There’s loads of student support including mental health to careers. They do care about everyone.
The amount of facilities the university provide makes it one of the best to live and study. The support given from lectures are great.
Great experience overall, small place but community feel. Good resources as everything is near but could have more things going on
Nice, green, countryside campus. Feels busy but not overcrowded. Pleasant environment, will fairly good facilities.
I think that there isn’t much night life in stoke, the only good place is the SU and that only runs on Wednesday and Fridays. Keele is a very big and beautiful place, loads of societies to join
It's an excellent study environment with ample student support, friendly lecturers, a beautiful campus, and a calming walk in Keele Woods to destress. The university hosts informative events, offers various societies, and addresses maintenance issues promptly. However, room prices are relatively high. To enhance the experience, more events for non-drinking students could be introduced, as the current options are limited.

The campus in amazing and has lots of areas to relax with friends or do work. In the warmer months you can even sit on the grass around campus and do your work outside. However some areas around campus can be a bit difficult to find.
Renovations to building and more facilities/shops on campus
The location and the students union really are the two best aspects related to this University, however the prices of local shops for Uni students is horrendous...from my knowledge we get NO student discounts on anything either, even if we pay for our goods via Keele card we have to deposit our OWN money into it. Students don't have enough money to pay these prices.
Pros: gives university degree The library is nice Cheap on campus food from SU Lectures are mostly on the same few days In my first year the student union was a good night out but it became less good and now I don’t go at all Cons: keele is harder to get to if you don’t have a car-Sometimes the buses leave people behind because they’re full. Sometimes people vape in the study areas On campus shops are normally over priced. Clubs are very expensive to join

I think it has a really homely and cosey feel to it and I love the quietness of it but there’s not much to do in the area surrounding the uni when you want to go out even if the SU fry and put on extra events. Other than that, i love the campus, it’s vibes and all the facilities are great and the staff are really supportive too.
We don’t have work placements for the foundation year which is a bit demotivating but they still keep us connected to the schools which we’ll progress into through regular meetings which I love. Also the content is delivered on time and routinely, and it’s usually easy to understand and follow and when you don’t understand the tutors are always there to explain it more clearly in tutorial and seminar sessions
