Be prepared to make things happen for yourself, There is lots going on but You need to put yourself out there. Try and bring a car if you can as you will want to get away fro. The Loughborough bubble once in a while.

It's a great campus. It is big so take around 15 minutes to get from one end to the other but there is a lot of stuff going on all the time here. Good variety in accommodation with lots of options for 2nd year onwards. The biggest downside to Loughborough is it's quite far from any shops and the town centre. There is a bus and the walk is nice but sometimes you want a Tesco wich is right outside campus. Apart from that it's a lively uni and I'm happy here

Course has been great so far. There is a lot of contact time for mechanical in first year so lots of 9am lectures but most lecturers are helpful and explain things okay. The workshop is well equipped and the freedom to use facilities is great

The actual town of Loughborough isn't too good and there isn't too much to do it's mostly just the campus however there are some bars and clubs and a couple of shops. There is a station that goes to London and there's easy access to Leicester and Nottingham

It is quite expensive however it is very modern it's got a very nice feel to it. The soundproofing in the rooms is amazing so normal level music is not even a problem
