Keele feels like a community and always has lots to get involved in. Lots of great places to eat and drink and a great variety of teaching methods. As a parent with caring responsibilities the thing I would change is having a better idea of timetabling at an earlier date so I can make appropriate arrangements

There is a great variety of teaching methods and I am happy with the course content. Sometimes I have to get in for 9am for an hours class then nothing for the rest of the day, it can be tricky as I live off campus so I think what could improve it for me is my classes being condensed into 2/3 days instead of 4.

Worst aspects would include the online teachings, I understand the whole country went through it but the teaching just wasn’t great. Certain lecturers throw you in the deep end with next to no guidance but every other thing about it I absolutely love. I’m genuinely so glad I chose to come here

It’s an amazing place to study, close enough to not feel isolated but far enough from the town center to feel independent, however after 3 weeks of strikes it can be hard to find a positive regarding the staff, as students we absolutely respect and support their right to strike, but with some of them being quite sudden or 3 weeks long, this semester feels like a waste, especially when we will be penalised for not knowing material we weren’t actually told

One of the best aspects of it is the fact that the course is well structured and delivered quite well as well. The spiral curriculum means that you visit each topic again in more detail as the years go on and there’s a lot of early clinical exposure. Some of the bad aspects I guess is the fact that due to the uni being in Stoke .. there’s not a lot of exciting things to do that’s close to the uni but there are some things to do in Newcastle city centre and Hanley that aren’t too bad.

Keele university in my opinion is a great place to study as the facilities available provide tons of support for any study and the campus is nice place to have a walk around and get fresh air and loads of places to explore, definitely good for mental health and stress. The only thing they need to improve on is student support and make their learning website KLE, less confusing by not having all the learning resources scattered around.

The location is a blessing and a curse, it's in the middle of nowhere which means beautiful scenery and proximity to trees (always a necessity for human life), but the bus routes are not great and it's a 20 minute walk into town if you don't want to get one. The laundry prices are slightly extortionate (£3.70 for a wash and dry) but I expect that's fairly standard. Newcastle-under-lyme is not the nicest place on earth, it is exactly like every other rundown English town, homeless people and dreary cityscape included. I like the uni overall, the people are generally nice and I can see grass and trees from my window. Education is fine too I suppose, but that's never really the important part of uni.

Best is my experience so far and how easy it has been to settle into the uni life. The worst part is probably the fact there’s not much options with food shopping on campus, other than Co Op which is kinda overpriced.

Nice that everything on campus is close, so it does take long to get to class. But the campus itself is quite isolated with not much to do other than walk around the forest Accommodation isn't great, would definitely recommend staying off campus if possible.

Keele uni has a really nice campus with the SU being central with a Costa, Greggs and a Co Op. There is plenty of parking and the campus looks really nice and well kept all year round. The only bad thing is having to sometimes walk a bit far because of how big the campus is. There's even a woodland to walk round.

The teaching is a little mixed, some of the lecturers are beyond good but some of them just don't know how to teach whether it be waffling off topic or boring the class. You get multiple lecturers so it's not that big of a deal. The library is very good, it has lots of space for different kinds of studying eg individual, collaborative, IT suites etc. There's a Greggs and talk of a KFC and Chancellors has a Costa. There's a thing called Weigh To Go which is like a sustainable area to lessen single use plastic with items like lentils. The SU nights are alright, Wednesday with the society socials is the best, the drinks are pretty cheap. There's the KPA which is run by mostly students, the food is really good and us staff are treated really well. We often get this company called Planet Donut that come with a stand and their donuts are y u m. Accommodation is quite nice. I lived in new Barnes and liked it, got to see most of the other accommodation and thought they were all pretty good. Campus is quite nice. In 1st year I took walks around it and its fun to see all the squirrels.

People here are really friendly and great. The location is great with the perfect mix of rural and night life with fun things like Pottery classes to do in the day. My lectures offer a lot of extra information and support and the kle is set out in a way that is really easy to understand. It would be better if there was more flexibility with learning or catching up if you've missed a session.

Overall, my experience in the first semester of my first year has been excellent and I’m glad I chose to come to Keele university as the campus is safe and lively and all staff and students are friendly. I am very satisfied with my course. There are plenty of amazing opportunities and connections you can find at Keele. The facilities on campus are adequate, the library is situated at the heart of campus with the SU only a couple minutes walk and costcutters. Facilities are clumped together so there isn’t too much walking. Keele has a beautiful campus with acres of woodland to explore. The standard of lecturing tends to be good. The students union is a really fun night out - they put more effort into it as it's a campus uni. The biggest issues would be lack of parking. There is everything in sight and always someone to help you. Highly recommend this university.

The university is located in a very quiet place so it is ideal for studying but if you love a night out the SU is a perfect place. To add to that, Stoke is a perfect train station to take you to various cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and even London for really cheap prices. The only problem with Keele is that sometimes it can get a little too quiet and if you are not a big fan of it, you can get really bored of the place really quick. The campus is the biggest campus in the UK and it is just a lovely walk to de-stress during the exam period.
