Good
the students union
The facilities and education provided at Loughborough is incredible. There is always something going on around campus giving such a warm and welcoming atmosphere as well as providing consistent entertainment. The worst aspect of this university however is the area, Loughborough is a small town and even though the university is basically a town in its own- the actual location outside of the university is quite dull and doesn’t have that much to do that is student friendly. However, the university itself is highly student friendly. There is a big contrast between how the town and university feels.

I love the environment and the 'lboro' bubble it feels like a safe environment for me to grow. I love all of the different extra activities being available on campus such as the societies and the sports within walking distance. The student union always has things to do and a lively student environment. I feel well supported. The location could not be changed obviously but it is abit hard to get to as I'm from Scotland (not lots of transport links) but I signed up for that of course. Maybe a few more non-alcoholic nights within the student union would be a fun thing for those who don't drink.
I am a first year Design student at Loughborough University, and choosing Loughborough has genuinely been one of the best decisions I have made. The facilities are outstanding, especially for design students. The studios, workshops, and digital resources are extremely well equipped and make a huge difference to how you learn and create. The design buildings are modern, spacious, and inspiring to work in. They feel purpose built for creativity, with studio spaces you actually enjoy spending time in and specialist equipment that allows you to explore ideas properly without feeling limited. The tutors and teaching staff are one of the strongest parts of the course. They are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping students develop. You are treated like an emerging designer rather than just a student completing assignments. Feedback is clear, detailed, and constructive, and tutors encourage you to push your ideas further while still offering strong guidance and support. The modules are well structured and engaging. There is a good balance between theory and practical work, which means you are constantly applying what you learn. Even in first year, you are encouraged to think creatively, develop your own design identity, and build strong foundations for later years. Student life at Loughborough is vibrant and welcoming. The campus has a strong sense of community and there is always something happening, from societies to social events. Everything is close together, which makes daily life easy and helps you settle in quickly and comfortably. The location is another big positive. Loughborough is a safe and friendly town with everything students need, and it is well connected to nearby cities such as Nottingham and Leicester. The campus itself is beautiful, with plenty of green space and impressive buildings that create a motivating and enjoyable environment to study in. Overall, Loughborough University offers an excellent combination of academic quality, creative support, and student experience. As a first year Design student, I feel supported, challenged, and excited about my future here. I would highly recommend Loughborough University.
Loughborough is a great place to study, everyone is welcoming, there is a lot of support and guidance and campus is really nice. Sports facilities are good but could be further subsidised by the uni.
The facilities are amazing. The uni is always under construction every year so it really feels like the money we've paid is being re invested back into the facilities.
