Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
Beautiful campus with loads of facilities for each discipline, especially stem courses which have access to multiple types of labs and workshops. Sports excels at Lboro of course and the facilities and clubs reflect that with training, social events and competitions. The night life has something for everyone with a range of events throughout each week and special events like Halloween or with outside providers.

Plenty of contact hours throughout the week for each year of the course, including in depth lab experiments for hands on experience and teaching of content. Lecturers are clear and have detailed content, are happy to answer questions and provide extra support when needed.
What could be improved is what content is actually necessary in lectures, as some include lots of supporting information as examples or extra help but it isn't clear whether it's examinable or just supplementary. Giving more example questions of varying difficulty to help us practice in our own time too to develop understanding as time goes on

What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
Elvyn was catered mon-fri lunch and dinner, en-suite small double bed rooms. Kitchen facilities were good with enough space for cupboards and fridge/freezer to accommodate the flat. On the expensive side though but homely still.
Harry French is self catered, with a variety of bed and room types for both undergrad and post grads. Off campus accommodation so the services are slightly different to that of on campus, but overall still good providing for the students' needs. Enough kitchen and room space for belongings with comfortable living.
