Hi,

It's really great to hear that you're wanting to accept your offer to come to Keele. We understand how daunting it can feel about moving away from home to start your University journey and we do our best to make you feel welcome and at home. There are plenty of opportunities for you to make friends when you arrive here. There's usually activities taking place throughout Welcome Week that you can take part in, plus you'll be able to find out information about the different clubs and societies we have on campus. One of our students has written a blog about this which you can read here.

Here is some additional information about Keele including links to sections on our website which you may find useful. At Keele, we excel in both teaching and research, and our beautiful self-contained 600-acre campus has everything on your doorstep, with student accommodation, teaching buildings, restaurants and cafés, a sports centre, bars, and a medical centre all within just a few minutes’ walk. You might want to take a look at our Why Keele? page for more info, and our Study pages contain lots of information for anyone interested in studying with us.

first year here, i was in a very similar position, usually you make friends based on your modules and classes, finding you usually hang out more after classes, especially when making presentations. Also societies is a very easy way to make friends based on interests as well.
