Sort:Latest reviewsThe campus is stunning and has good facilities and many nature walks. The staff were super helpful when I changed course and sorted it out pretty much immediately. The student union hosts many events and there is something for everyone. The biggest issue is that for clothes and miscellaneous shops, you have to travel using a bus, car or walk for about an 40 mins to an hour. The night life isn’t great unless you travel off of university grounds as there is only the student union for these sorts of stuff
The campus is really nice but the location is pretty average with there being little to do in terms of going out during the day and at night. Newcastle-Under-Lyme is very disappointing as the closest town, Hanley is a bit further out but again very underwhelming and it doesn't feel very safe, especially at night. The student life is poor with the SU being extremely quiet on most nights out and they don't seem to be doing too much to rectify the matter. In terms of studying, some courses are much better than others but personally there are both good and bad lecturers and there is a very clear gap between the two.
The best experience is that uni is absolutely awesome, I met lots of cool people, I love the city and the university, my courses are great, tutors are very nice, it's beyond my expectations. The worst experience is that I may not gain technical skills and that the work load is too much. It could be improved by helping students specially international students with the work load and the content of the topics.

Keele is great as most things are all on campus and they have a range of different society's to join as well as having activities in the evenings that you can go to. It could improve by letting students chose who they can share a kitchen with in the accommodation
I only have the best experience in university, and they is making friends
I feel that there could be a couple more toilets around the campus. Sounds silly I know 😂 but at times I have spent time walking around to the nearest time which took a while. Also there could be more recycling facilities around for us to recycle rubbish In order for keele to be even more caring about the environment. I do like the location of it as its close to a hotel which I can stay in while studying
University is a great experience , as you have the support and help when ever needed .
The library is open 24/7, and is really good for private study, and the lecture halls are good sizes and comfortable. However, there is no support for students, very little guidance, terrible communication between departments and the lecturers just read off the slides, not actually teaching
All the staff members ( teaching and non-teaching) are very helpful to students.

Good school nice student life safe feel campus
The best aspects of Keele are the staff are really helpful and are willing to help. Not only that but the teaching facilities are amazing, especially for science and health care courses. There is always support. However, there are some negative aspects which are down to individuals as for me, the location isn't the most exciting as I am used to a major city and Keele is rather quiet which I do not really like.
It's great Beautiful campus

The uni experience is amazing lovely location it feels like it's own little town, with lots of small community's with in it. Every day is a joy at Keele with new thing to do and new people to meet.
Best aspects are that you can get the support you need and the lecturers are friendly. However, the location of keele can make the journey a little difficult for people who walk to commute.
Keele is a great place to study as it has brilliant, modern facilities and excellent quality of teaching, as well as a wide range of societies and events for a fulfilling university life.
Location makes it difficult to do fun things without a car at uni but the uni and course is great. Really shows most people care
One of the best aspects about keele university and is the location and service they provide for their students. The campus is one of the greenest places I have seen around. The nature really helps with mood and motivation. Other things is the services keele provide such as 24 hours library. I’ve also received a lot of help and advice in regards to being a carer for my sister who also goes to keele. I personally love being a student at keele and don’t have any negative feedback.
I love how the campus is full of nature, and yet it is only up to 40 minutes from the train station and near some big cities. Great to get everything you need from one place, not needing to leave campus except for a supermarket shop and going home if you live off campus.
