Tbf it's only cold if you're a southern fairy, i really haven't noticed much difference in temp from Brum + Keele.

Anyway good points:
The community spirit
Greeness
Lecturers go out of their way to help you
Squirells
Dual honours
Union
Keele woods
Everythings on campus and within walking distance
Lots of societies
Tea + toast at the chapel after a heavy night out
Safety bus so no taxi charges if you live in hawthorns or off campus

Bad points:
Parking, or lack of
Having to queue at the post room and i always seem to pick times with huge queues
Keele bubble
Everyone seems to know everyone which can either be great or terrible
Buses
Generally lots of stokies don't know how to drive so it can be terrifying driving around or gettin the bus anywhere

I would call squirrels a good point, they frighten the life out of me the scheming, double crossing buggers. One of them swindled an acorn out of me..and OMG i just looked out the window and saw a man in full lycra running past, not good.

He should be on the sex offenders register eh Minardi!?

seriously though, by "cooking facilities" they mean a hob and a microwave only.

Dac.

That's only in Holly Cross though, if you were in any other accom you'd get microwaves, oven, hobs + grills. Plus you could always buy a george foreman or something if you're that bothered. Also i'm presuming you went to see holly cross at an open day if u knew u wanted ensuite accom so would have seen the kitchen before anyway...

And as i said, go to Tesco and buy a new microwave , or better COMPLAIN if it matters that much to you! Keele have a requirement to give you facilities to cook, if they are not, then complain. You need to go to the Darwin Builiding, opposite the Union.

im in lindsay court. and the grill and oven just dont work. why would i want to buy a new microwave, microwaved food is aweful and bad for you.

i will ask that halls women on monday when shes in. dont want to start a row just a bit pissed off that you pay nearly £90 a week and have to put food in the oven for literally twice as long. i bet most of the cleaners dont pay that much for a 3 bedroomed house and wouldnt put up with those combi things. rant over.
