*Students got a small reward for their timeThe campus is really nice, there's lots of places to go for walks or runs. There is a wide variety of societies and sports clubs that you can join. the facilities are really good, there's lots of rooms you can book for free for group projects or studying. As it's a campus based uni there is a much stronger community as opposed to a city university. They host lots of events in the evening such as games and crat nights which I think is really good for student mental health and well being. The university could be better improved by making information of the website easier to locate and ensuring the information is up to date. I was going to do a semester abroad but the website initially said it was compatible with my course, then a different part of the website said that it wasn't and then a lecturer said the course structure was changing so that it would be compatible. This made it really confusing. Furthermore, sometimes finding who you need to contact for a specific question can be quite difficult. For example, I was looking into fundraising and it took me a very long time to find who I needed to contact for fundraising permission.

To be honest, moving from MMU to Keele was the best choice I've ever made for my degree. This course in film studies and media is far more interactive, intimate, and encouraging. The tutors genuinely take the time to assist you, provide thorough comments, and give you the impression that your work is important. Since coming here, my creative abilities have greatly expanded, encompassing filming, editing, and a broader comprehension of the industry. In contrast to what I was used to, Keele's campus has such a serene vibe, and the library staff is actually helpful with assignments and references. I was able to enjoy my course once again because the entire atmosphere felt less daunting and more supportive. I was able to regain my motivation, confidence, and sense.

The drive can be awful due to traffic on the roads and the car parking can be awful to try and get a space by th e chancellors building but otherwise the uni is amazing my friends and i constantly walk over to keele hall and the staff are really nice as well
The people
Keele itself is kind of in the middle of nowhere where so if there where more facilities on the uni or around then that would help a lot. The SU is typically not tailored to Afrobeats and Amapiano as well so more night like that with more promoting would be good.
Frequent bus services.
Good uni
All the resources we have
I enjoy how big the campus is; everything is spread out, and the greenery reminds me of home. However, the problem of it being such a big campus is it takes a while to get to different classes around the school and most of the time i cannot eat until the day is over due to how far my accommodation is unless i get fast food which isn’t the healthiest or cheapest option.
The campus is good aswell as facilities in my course, there is lots to do and not far from keele or newcastle under Lyme
Campus doesn’t have many food options.
Id like a bigger library sometimes it's so hard to find a seat to work
The environment and the support given
Really beautiful campus, a lovely SU that has networks and structures in place to support students and to make students voices heard. Unfortunately the campus has many inaccessibilities for disabled students which make it very difficult to get around. The staff are good and supportive, but getting support can be slow moving. The three extensions you get for free each semester is really good and helpful. I don’t go on nights out but as far as I can tell they have things on at the SU most nights and there are clubs and bars in Newcastle which is a bus ride away, but you would have to uber back to campus because the busses stop running.
Great campus -scenic however limited events around the university and a car is definitely needed as the public transport is not great
Great way of education and teaching feedback, could improve on support and communication within the university and diversifying the courses offered as they are very science lenient.
