The opportunities to get involved in activities, however niche, are incredible. Campus has a great vibe and the university has a friendly and welcoming feel. The study spaces are great and really varied.

The sports science facilities are excellent at Loughborough, unfortunately we were limited to how much we could use them during the pandemic but now the university has opened up to teaching fully in person again, final year will be a great opportunity to make the most of them. Contact time with lecturers is good, but I would appreciate more contact time with tutors, it doesn’t feel that convenient to schedule meetings with them.

The halls are great for socialising, especially as a fresher, the events organised and committee structure makes meeting people and feeling at home quite easy. Having the option to be catered is also very convenient in terms of juggling works and other commitments. The catered eating arrangement is also a great way to socialise.

Best = sports facilities and social aspect

Not many contact hours

Sink is very nice, kitchens quite small and not enough seating, common room is nice
