Loughborough is fantastic, so much to get involved with and not enough time to do it all in. I would recommend choosing a sport before you even arrive on campus and also think about where you want to end up after Uni with the course and job.

The research facilities, study spaces, campus and sporting facilities are all well-funded.

The lecturers promote independent research and are open to discussion around the subject. Since the course structure is new, there have been some issues, but ultimately it's been a very rewarding and interesting degree.

The hall staff were really nice, and the location was convenient. However I had an issue with the ensuite bathroom for the first two weeks of living there and the property management team had to call out an external company to fix it. Was not a great freshers and start to university and the maintenance staff were really bad at communicating with the reception staff. Also there's only 4 washers for the whole hall and usually only 3 of them work.
