My time at Keele was definitely one to remember - unfortunately I ended up having to withdraw entirely from both masters I attempted due to personal reasons but also because of the delivery of their psychology conversion online masters degree. As a whole university standards are becoming exceptionally inefficient and as a result students like myself are being affected and thoroughly mistreated. Whilst the staff who delivered both the MSC psychotherapy counselling in person course Msc psychology conversion were outstanding, compassionate and professional, the University has a whole needs serious reformation. Lack of communication, technical errors, fake graduation invites sent out to myself, blatant disrespect from staff behind the enquiries line has left me bitter and frustrated with my time at Keele. An extortionate amount of time, money, and mental welfare has gone into both incomplete masters degrees. I hope that in the future the university is able to rectify their mistakes and take ownership of where they messed up, but for now, I can only warn and advise those who wish to study here of the systematic ineffectiveness orchestrated throughout the university’s figureheads.

As a former student, here is my tuppence-worth. In many ways, Keele is closer to a small liberal arts college in the US than to a traditional university such as York or Leeds. The campus is situated on top of a hill, surrounded by agricultural land. When the wind blows, students can hear the cattle from the local farm in the halls of residence closest to the village. A rural location, par excellence, it can be bitterly cold in winter and often snows so woolly jumpers are essential. Even though the M6 is in close proximity, there are some agreeable walks to have in the countryside. However, during my 3 years, I personally found the university to be isolated and remote. At times, you do have the impression you are "cut-off" from the rest of the world (the experience is referred to as the "Bubble" by the student population) and you will grow tired of bumping into the same people twice or three times during the day. Although this could also be said elsewhere, the fact that Keele is so small amplifies it. When the "bubble" finally bursts, the reality of the world of work can be brutal. The library is small and was built to accommodate 2,000 students in the mid-1960s not 12,500 in 2023. Expansion comes at a price and the university has done little to remediate for this. Keele is in dire need of a new, modern library and the science park would be an ideal location. The sports centre could also do with a revamp and an olympic-sized swimming pool would certainly put Keele on the map (Student games etc). Accommodation wise, average and dated. Especially Horwood. Amenities, no large supermarket nearby (unlike Warwick, for example) so you have to travel to Newcastle-under-Lyme which is 5 miles down the road and "Castle" (like the locals call it) since 2002 has a cinema. The high street, like other towns and cities in the UK, is in terminal decline. Unlike university towns like Canterbury or Bath, never any tourists though. Stoke, with its post-industrial wasteland, is a no-go area and students tend not to venture this far out. Most shops are boarded up, it is a depressing place. In your first year at Keele, you travel maybe once come Christmas time to Hanley shopping Centre for novelty and never go back again. It takes 40 mins by bus which is surprising given the distance is only 5.5 miles so a taxi ride is essential for nights out. The challenge will be to find others to come with you. Hence why students stay on campus. Week-ends, the campus comes to a standstill with many going home to friends and family. Student population, many locals from the Midlands, few south of Oxford. University is trying hard to market itself via social media but there is a reason why there are vacancies in practically all subjects during Clearing come mid-August. Keele has always been a "Clearing" University, even back during the 1980s. Basically, the institution that would offer you a place if you underperformed at A 'Level. That has not changed. You can easily bag a place with 2 Cs at A 'Level during Clearing so their website academic entry requirements should be taken with a pinch of salt. Unless, that is, you are aiming for degrees offered by the medical school or from the new veterinary school which are all vocational i.e. leading to specific career paths (and a guaranteed graduate salary) and always popular and in-demand. Not quite sure why there are still 2 universities so close to one another. Staffordshire University, the ex-polytechnic is the other in Stoke. With 3 schools, no faculties and many similar degrees, it would be rational to amalgamate resources (funding etc.) into one regional champion to streamline, achieve economies of scale, improve student experience and use funds elsewhere. Keele is not a terrible university by all standards, more teaching geared than research-led and it will cater for a certain type of student. However, for a modern campus, middle-tier rank university and value for money, I would suggest Reading, Sussex or Kent instead, less claustrophobic and all closer to a decent conurbation...
