Keele Town
Located near Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent in the centre of England, the town of Keele is best known for its natural resources and potteries; particularly Royal Doulton and Wedgwood. Although Keele University Campus has every conceivable amenity, the nearby towns of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent are the places to head for for some serious nightlife.
Student Loans
Keele University is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
