Course recommendations
If you're from a large uni, you'll be surprised by how little choice you have in your field of study. However, the classes are good, and all the teachers are used to having international students. I've not yet had a problem.

Personal comments
If you're not used to the UK style of assessment, it's a shock. One essay and one test decides your entire grade- a bit nerve racking! It's a small uni- so don't expect it to have the same access to resources and diversity of classes. But it does it's job!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
There's really no place else to live! Besides, it's the best way to meet Brit people.

Personal comments
We shared 30 students to one kitchen, and almost everyone cooks for themselves. It gets a little messy, but somone comes in to clean about 4 days a week. I had a single room, my block mates were pretty friendly. High speed internet, no wireless, and there's a bar and a grocery type store within walking distance, no matter where you live.

Personal comments
Keele is in a village (a pub, a church, and a handful of cottages). Luckily, it's really easy to get out a travel, and you're in the middle of the country, so nothing is too far away. Students are ALWAYS ready to party, so if you like the campus life, you'll find friends here.

It's a nice little Uni, and if you're flexible and have the right attitude, you'll have a blast. If you want it to be just like an American college, stay at home.
