Keele has built on its pioneering campus role by maintaining the highest proportion, around 70%, of full-time students in campus residence of any university in the country. There is a total of 3116 rooms on campus, 741 of these are en-suite.
Living in Halls is an important part of the student experience – you’ll have great fun and make lifelong friends. There are five Halls of Residence at Keele, each with its own character and with different room types to suit a variety of budgets, ranging from single rooms sharing bathrooms and kitchens, to rooms with en suite facilities. Halls aren’t simply a place to live, they provide a focus for social life. Each Hall has a student-run Council that organizes a range of events including balls, discos, films and sport. Halls also have their own welfare systems: Resident Tutors (usually a postgraduate student) live in each Hall and are responsible for the welfare of students living there. Resident Tutors are on call throughout the night and weekend.
Applicants who hold Keele as their firm choice of university are given priority for on-campus accommodation. The university does its best to place all new students on campus although this will depend on the availability of rooms and the number of applications for places.
