Love football?
I bet Keele University wins the prize for most Premier League clubs within an hour's travel : Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool FC, Everton Football Club, West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City Football Club - and of course Stoke City Football Club just 10 mins away.
And with all the London clubs, Burnley Football Club and Huddersfield Town just a bit further by train, what's not to like?
... Hmm, now I wonder if you could get approval for your Sociology dissertation proposal that involves visiting every club...?
