Danielle is the best. She’s kind and hospitable. Aldo sets up multiple events for us .😎
Good place with good facilities
Great place to study, lots of societies and courses to choose from. Range of courses taught by experienced lecturers and guest speakers who can help translate skills into the workplace.
Love the campus and the environment.
Perfect in all matters. Great Uni with great uni life. Will always keep you engaged and never make you feel lonely. Very beautiful campus

i love the campus and the atmosphere it provides as well as the myriad of events they put on
Great, nice lecturers, variety of buildings, good societies lovely campus very refreshing and nice to see.
beautiful greenery, and area, however bus does become a bit unreliable. The student union really emphasises their enthusiasm to support everyone which is good and there is alot of support staff which i’d really emphasised which is good.
Great place to study. Great facilities.
lovely university. had a great time so far, a lovely area with beautiful views! amazing forensics equipment too!
It was a good place to stay, although WiFi wasn't the best but I got through
Decent uni good staff parking people are annoying
I have absolutely loved my time and experience at Keele. There’s a great balance of social and educational activities here which is great to keep on track for my end goal of graduating!
Whilst campus is lovely, there really is nothing to do here. Unless you're studying a healthcare course or are looking to study somewhere unbearably quiet, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere. The one upside is there is nothing to distract me from my work.
The university has many opportunities for students for social activities and the support for students is great.
It is a very tight knit community as it is a campus uni and it doesn’t really have anything surrounding it, my experience has been great and I have made amazing friends here. I have always felt safe on campus and always felt like the environment was lovely and clean :)
Brilliant University all things considered. Can’t think of any faults
Good university experience so far
The university services are good.
Beautiful campus and good teaching quality
Very good uni I do recommend it
pretty good overall nothing too bad and nothing to complain about
Keele University has been such a great experience. I feel safe and happy here and it has honestly changed my life going here. There are so many opportunities academically and socially and the small, village-like campus makes you feel really part of the community. Their wellbeing and disability support provisions are brilliant.
Great university with good support and lots of activities going on. Support in all aspects provided like mental health,career and finance.
I’ve been at university for 5 months now, i’ve had a lot of fun experiences during my course and with friends.
very good accommodation and friendly staff
Good university with a beautiful campus
Keele is decent innit One London road is not decent
Have had a good experience on campus
The university is great as everything is all in one place on campus and very simple to find
Keele has a beautiful campus, but facilities could be better. Additionally, the surrounding area where student accommodation for latter years is, is not the nicest. The students union is okay, the committee seem very committed and welcoming, however it is overpriced and events aren't the best. Wifi is sufficient for studying, but for on campus students it is usually not good enough to support many leisure activities like gaming.
Positive experience with facilities and student union. My specific subject school has high staff turnover and that can have an effect on teaching, staff/ academic mentors are sometimes hard to communicate with.
Although I'm in 2nd year of university making me go less on campus I have see societies and events that were good
The lecturers are super helpful with any inquiries you may have, even if you believe it’s a stupid question it doesn’t hurt to ask. The clubs and societies are a great way to make friends with similar interest or hobbies.
Timetabling and organisation are far from good most of the time, and scheduled lectures on Teams don’t always mean that a lecturer will attend to present. Organisation of placement and time spent doing relevant, placement-related tasks was not productive for a large proportion of the time (year 1). Lectures can be very lengthy (3 1/2 hours - both in-person and on Teams) and the content “taught” does not always match the way in which would provide the best, meaningful learning opportunities, especially as this is a practical course and practical job. There are some brilliant lecturers, mostly those who have teaching qualifications and understand the teaching and learning cycles, and how opportunities to embed learning are important. However, this is not the case for all modules and all lecturers.
Really nice university, wanted to specially give a shout out to my lecturer Mick Pender from the business school nothing is too much trouble the best mentor I could of ever wished for really was there for me during all the stresses and concerns.
the admin is a mess and the timetable is changing every week
SU had lots of events but not many were popular
student union is fine, they keep cancelling our room bookings and have been generally unsupportive, nights out generally suck imo but the kpa is lovely, and the campus is great
Some amazing scenery with a big history behind it. Have joined lots of sports and societies and been able to make friends and endless memories.
The su is enjoyable because I go with my friends but they need to change the music from time to time and so specific nights to entice more people to go out.
The campus is good and pretty but could benefit from more buses. On campus food is expensive. The prices are not student friendly.
Overall a reasonable experience
Vibrant academic atmosphere, surrounded by natural beauty, and offers emough extracurricular opportunities for students."
Some student experiences going downhill, less SU events, especially for those not into club nights, Nice campus overall
My first year on campus was good, wifi did go down once but it wasn’t too bad. The societies were very sports focused.
amazing campus based uni experience !
After being insanely indecisive about uni I love it at Keele, the grounds are gorgeous for walking around when stressed out and the academic mentors and careers team are very helpful, and I love the people I've met here. However the SU has gone down hill a bit this year with worse events and turnout.
For a campus uni i didnt expect the events to be particularly good however they were amazing, the SU nights out were always great, there is good access to lots of facilities across campus and they are definitely up to standard. My only concern is that the careers team are hard to access, i struggled to find how to contact them. But once i did they were helpful, Its a fab uni
Keele University offers an exceptional student experience. The state-of-the-art lecture theatres and labs are accessible to all, enhancing the learning environment. With over 150 societies, there are abundant opportunities to make new friends and explore various interests. The Careers Service is outstanding, helping with career progression, organizing career fairs, and collaborating with local businesses to offer students opportunities. They provide excellent support for job applications, placements, part-time, and graduate roles, as well as career and interview advice. The Students' Union is always there to support any student needs, from housing advice to engaging activities and general wellbeing. The lush Keele woods are perfect for leisure, play, and reflection. Various thought-provoking lectures on interdisciplinary topics are regularly organized by the university. The sense of community created by staff, lecturers, and students makes Keele a wonderful place to study and grow.
a university that feels like home away from home, great facilities coupled with the most supportive staff.
My accommodation was good, some things were broken bur they were quickly fixed by maintenance. The accommodation is extortionate and my maintenance loan didn't cover all of the fees. If there was a slightly larger shop on campus such as an aldi that would be helpful as campus is quite far from newcastle under Lyme. The SU holds lots of good events, some have now stopped though. Overall the campus is very nice, lots of walks and the shops available are good.
Not had any experience with careers yet, however overall the campus is nice.
Keele is a small campus and. To some may seem boring but there’s always something to do and it’s such a safe and fun community
Love the campus ! And ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE KEELE HALL !!!!
Overall quite good however things could be improved, like more study spaces
School of Nursing and Midwifery is second to none. Amazing teaching staff, great facilities which will be even better when Darwin is finished. Forever proud to be a Keele student midwife.
Good student union nights. Lots of different artists
WiFi constantly cuts out and is inconsistent across campus
Not many societies. The Wi-Fi went down one time but otherwise it was great
The overall campus experience has been good
Every so often there’s a great night as the SU but would be nice if there were more events
I’ve not had any experience with the careers team so would not be able to give an accurate review. Campus is lovely and has everything you need.
The library opens 24/7 for most days and most facilities work well.
Lovely uni with a really nice campus
Not so many events lately making it a bit dead
great WiFi but the SU events aren't always great. needs a better DJ
The WiFi can sometimes dip if you are moving to places across campus or from building to building but you reconnect very quickly
Focus on sports too much and exclude the people who cannot do sports. Society’s are very cliquey and it’s hard to make friends
The campus is good for scenic walks and is a nice community. I haven’t had much involvement with clubs and societies, but have seen plenty I’m interested in for next year. I haven’t had much involvement in the SU, but the Co-Op being closed quite early, especially on weekends, means you feel isolated on campus sometimes especially if you’ve forgot one item in your food shop. The WiFi can be unreliable at times, with sometimes needing to restart your device for it to work.
Generally good facilities round campus and have enjoyed being part of a sports club and a society.
Music in the su isn't super diverse so isn't my favourite but there are a wide range of societies and good facilities
Keele is a great university that has a lot of good studying facilities and great teaching from staff. Alongside the facilities such as teaching, the wifi is strong all around campus and therefore it makes studying very easy.
While the SU as a body was nothing unique, it worked well and supported my friends and I when needed. There are many clubs and societies for almost everyone and everything and it's also easy to start one of your own!! Careers and students services are really helpful and kind, and student services take their students wellbeing very seriously. While the university does listen to its students and adjusts classes and modules, I do hope they will stop following the trends in academia and continue supporting and evolving what made the university unique, such as its dual honor courses
Indeed it help me in all aspect during my learning journey here.
I havent used the SU much because Im just not interested which is just my preference, other students who use it love it! The internet is typically very speedy and accessible basically anywhere in the uni and I have never had issues with connectivity or speed
A great university with facilities suitable for all students. The campus in beautiful with many areas for students to enjoy downtime
The SU has been getting progressively less active and holding fewer and less successful events in recent years, though some of this may be to do with the cost of living. The careers team are wonderful, they would just benefit from being better signposted both physically and on university social medias so more people know it's there
Pretty decent but the wifi doesn’t span all the campus
Internet can be connected to for everywhere on campus making it very convenient when on the go.
The nature on campus really makes the uni stand out among other unis, with one campus it has that warm community vibe. Many spaces to study: chapters cafe and chancellors are the best in the evening for quiet public settings (open 24/7 weekdays). The lake and view over Newcastle at Keele Hall is so unique
Keele involves some amazing societies and social spaces
The location of the accommodation is perfect! I have student friendly shops 3-5 by walk like Aldi and Lidl, as well as pricy as Morrison , tesco and saysburys which are a bit further but still accessible by walk. I also I have the bus stop close to me which is very convenient so I can take the bus to go to uni and stoke city centre. This accommodation it’s perfect for those who do a health care course as the hospitaL it is just 20 min away by walk. The only downfall is the internet which is not the greatest!
The university is very good in terms of socialising
Keele university with a good environment and most of the staff members are really helpful and supportive.
I expected slightly more from keele but all around it's a good uni
University campus is lovely, very welcoming and feels like its own little community
Decent campus, gym is not good
Good university with great staff
Keele offers excellent facilities and courses. I have been extremely content with the structure and organisation of my course, and feel I have been able to develop the essential skills required for my desired career ambitions. The campus itself is surrounded by nature with picturesque scenery, which makes me feel a sense of connectivity to student life. The Student's Union ensure that my overall uni experience is safe, and fun. My success as an individual as well as a student is at the forefront of their ethos. The careers team offer several events and opportunities to expand your career knowledge and skills and is always open for appointments to work through any career guidance and advice I may require. The range of societies and clubs is exceptional, you name it, Keele's got it! Overall, my experience has been everything I imagined and more.
I love it here, it makes me feel at home!
Love the uni, staff listen to your concerns
This review is for students with mental illness. Keele, in my experience, is an amazing choice for you. Registering at the start that you require mental support gives you a lot of options for reasonable adjustments. They also have a counselling team, a mental health nurse at the on-campus GP, a student experience team, and lecturers who are all committed to your success. While the teaching material in my case could have been better structured, feedback to my school resulted in positive changes. Also the postgraduate association is a lifesaver as well. And the campus is genuinely gorgeous and serene. Exceedingly grateful to have gone here.
Had nice experience in keele university and also with the people and accom
Best campus facilities with excellent educational system
Good campus, good facilities, good student Union
Keele University offers a remarkable academic experience with a diverse range of programs. The campus provides a vibrant and inclusive environment, fostering both personal and intellectual growth. From well-designed facilities to engaging faculty, Keele creates an excellent learning atmosphere. The university's commitment to student welfare and involvement in various activities adds to its appeal. Overall, Keele University stands out as a dynamic and enriching place for higher education.
Probably the best thing about this university is its campus, it's quite nice seeing all the squirrels and the old buildings intertwined with nature. It's also usually the only place you can go if you want to do a dual honours course, like Computer Science and Music Production. The CS part isn't too great, but Music seems very good so far. Not too much to complain about apart from on-site accommodation.
