Keele University applicants for 2015 entry

I'v got a question regarding disability. I'v got dyspraxia and wondering how Keele could support me? I'v already contacted Disabled Student Allowance and they suggested they needed further medical information so i'm planning on ringing them asking what they actually mean.

They need to see evidence showing how your disability affects your ability to study from your doctor or medical person involved with your care. It needs to be extremely explicit that is affects your study as it won't cover everyday things. If you get that sorted then there's loads of support that Keele can offer.

I have actually got a report by a chartered educational psychologist and indicated what he thinks is best for me e.g extra 25% and a laptop in exams. the report was VERY detailed and the test lasted for 6 hours or more...

Who else is doing Neuroscience with psychology here?

Hey everyone, congratulations on getting into Keele, you're going to love it!! If you have any questions about anything, whether the uni, the social life, anything really, feel free to ask me, I'm about to start my third year, studying maths, and have also lived on campus the last two years, and again this year (in Hawthorns), so can answer any questions you may have about accommodation as well (or at least I'll try). Again, congratulations on getting in!

Hey, i'm studying Geology and Physical Geography. I'm in block J in Hawthorns but i have a chance to go to Liberty Court if i want. I'm asking what do you think of Hawthorns and how many bathrooms are shared between each floor?

Hi! I loved Hawthorns, was there in first year and back again this year. Even though people say it's far away, it doesn't take long to get into campus. You get a free bus pass, and people could leave 10 minutes before their lecture and still made it on time (with the bus). Only a 15-20 minute walk too if you'd prefer, plus you get to walk past the countryside which is nice (weather permitting). Don't know much about Liberty Court but it's a 40 minute bus ride away, which can be a real issue, although again you get a free bus pass from the uni.

I'm not 100% sure about J block (sorry!) but I know for mine (Z block first year, V block this year) it was four people sharing a kitchen and a bathroom in each flat, and each floor had 3 flats, which was really good fun. Perfect amount of people sharing a kitchen/bathroom.

Hope I was able to help, any more questions just ask

Yea, thanks for that! Really helps. Is the amount of people sharing each flat 4 or more? I heard that people share only a few bathrooms with 27 people and honestly i dont want that. How many showers are there in each floor for you?

I'm nervous about if noone does Geology is something related to my degree like Geoscience plus i want to walk/take the bus with someone that does the same degree, you know? What do you think the possibility is?

Ah yes, there are blocks which can have that many people, it does differ between the blocks strangely. For that, you're better off asking on the freshers page on facebook (sorry!). If that is a really big issue, then perhaps Liberty Court would be the better option, although the people I know who have had to share with 15-20 people haven't ever had any problems with it at all.

Even if there aren't any people on the same course as you in the block, (which is honestly 50-50) there will always be someone going to lectures at the same time as you so you can always travel with them

I'm doing Psychology and Sociology?

Cool, will probably be seeing you in the psychology lectures then. With the dual honors, we go to two different lectures right..?

ok thanks
I'm really excited about the course because its something i love to do rather than them other pesky A-level subjects.
(dont tell anyone :P )I was pretty much in tears, i knowwww its VERYYYYY MANLY, when i saw an unconditional from Keele. I was so confident i got rejected i did thorough research into clearing and i even pre-registered for Plymouth for clearing. haha they'll be wondering why i haven't called yet but i do like their course. Ahhh im so excited but its turning into nervous because its a WHOLE new place and i really hope i meet some fantastic people and make really good friends.
Can i ask about societies? What do you recommend? I'll join the Geosociety but im not sure about the others. Maybe Tennis, if they have it.
