 " Overall it is good, in the country side so it is quiet and lots of greenery. Campus with lots of accommodation to choose from. Lots of courses to choose from, whether you want to do dual honours or single. Facilities are good. "

 " Keele has overall been a great uni to attend. The campus and SU in particular have a great atmosphere and it's really easy to find like-minded people since the university is pretty small. Most of the lecturers are helpful, with the exception of the odd one or two who never get back to emails. The SU nights are arguably the best thing about Keele, there's something about the atmosphere of a Wednesday, Friday and Monday, (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday) night that is just second to none.

 " Keele is the black sheep of universities. Quality of education is really good, however you'll have to balance that out with individual study, often the exams and coursework's do not really measure how good you are a particular topic.
The SU is a good laugh, a step down from the big clubs such as Prism and the likes, but definitely better than "that one spoons with a dance floor".
Vibe is incredibly relaxed, often you'll see your lecturers enjoying a pint at the campus pubs like the KPA (looking at you Adam Stanton). "

 " I really love the uni! If you're looking for a university with a beautiful campus and great sense of community then Keele is the one for you. However, if you're not really into nights out it's slightly lacking in enhancing your social life! "

 " Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Keele University. The academic staff were excellent, being both approachable and professional with wide knowledge of their fields. Courses were well structured, and all lectures, workshops and laboratory sessions were delivered exceedingly well. The campus has good facilities and is well managed, with several green initiatives. The university is only let down by its accommodation, which is either cheap but poor quality or modern but very expensive, and its study abroad programme, which was poorly organised. "
