Keele University: The best years of my life.
Tips: It was an amazing degree and experience. I gained so many new friends and connections and would not be connected with so many people anywhere else as compared to Keele University. The people I have met, the lectures I have had, and the overall environment are one of a kind. There are lots of diverse events and activities happening all over the campus. The faculty are helpful and understanding, and you can reach out to them. Students should try to participate in activities and build connections.
