It’s got a really nice community
Campus
The support for students is brilliant but there isn’t much to do in the local area outside of the campus.
All the essentials for shopping are nearby making the student life easier, campus location is great and the buildings are a fair distance from my accomodation the town is a bit boring tho
18-24 years
Transport on campus at times (worst) - improved by more consistent timing Free cookies at ehb, the scenery on campus and the food and accommodations.
The teaching

All good
I really like the campus based uni
Great vibe and great experience
Campus is a fairly calm place to be but there is very little to do in Loughborough away from the university.
There is quite literally something for everyone to get involved in. You will get out of it what you put in - there is so much going on that is available to you if you go for it
The sport is the best aspect. There’s something for everyone whether you’re a beginner or playing internationally - and many free opportunities to get involved. The facilities are brilliant as is the campus overall. Lectures are interesting as are the subjects covered and there’s lots of support if needed. The only thing to improve would be the local town, wish there were more activities closer by! But Nottingham and Leicester are very close to fill that void.
Best: Gives a great balance between sporting facilities and opportunities as well as academic rigour. Furthermore, extra-carricular activities including the Loughborough Enterprise Network and the events hosted by the Business School further help enrich the student experience. Worst: Poor sound proofing across rooms and accommodation making early sleep an issue, especially for sportsmen who have early morning training sessions such as myself, moreso considering that Loughborough is the number 1 sports university, this aspect could greatly benefit worked upon.
Overall experience as a student athlete is world class and being in a community with like minded individuals makes me feel like this is where I belong.
It’s a great place to study as they provide excellent facilities and a great system for sports related extra curricular activities. There is however a lack of opportunity for hobbies outside of sports.
The overall experience at the uni is very nice in terms of facilities and learning
