Very green campus , limited night life but the SU is good.
The best aspects on my university experience would be the overall atmosphere of the university, the sport and social opportunities and my course. The worst aspect of my university experience would have been securing my accommodation.
The sporting and athletic atmosphere here is great, everyone loves sports, such a good place to develop in any sports. However, the distance away from the town centre is quite far, not the most convenient. The food in catered halls are not the best, could’ve been improved in terms of hygiene and taste of food.
The best aspects of Loughborough are its all around delivery of the student experience. The facilities and opportunities available allow you to not only receive a high quality of learning but also engage in other enriching experiences around your studies. These include societies, volunteering and especially sports. In terms of bad aspects, I feel as though the support offered to struggling student is below par. Having been through the process myself, I believe they are very good at reaching out, but often don’t take problems seriously unless you are at a very sever point. I was struggling mentally but was made to feel as if my struggle wasn’t worth their time when I engaged with the services
Loughborough University provides a well-rounded experience for Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) students. The campus offers modern facilities, and the university's emphasis on sports and societies can enrich your student life. I believe it could be further improved by having more opportunities for humanities students such as more internships and employers at careers fairs for this field.
So far I have had a pretty good uni experience. The best aspects of my uni experience so far have been my course and the people I have met. I have also enjoyed nights out at the student union. However a slightly less enjoyable part of my experience has been the response rate from property management in my accommodation .
The campus is really well rounded, including great academic spaces to study, sports facilities and opportunities, and a good social side. The only thing to improve would be that the activities in the local town are limited other than pubs and drinking.
Loughborough university has provided me with top class education and extra curricular activities to match. From playing sport, to volunteering both within the community and on student committees, there are so many opportunities to get involved with to further your skills and experiences. The facilities are great, and support from staff is always available. The worst aspect about my experience at Loughborough has been trying to choose between lots of different experiences and things to get involved with, and making sure I still focus on my degree alongside all of the volunteering, Fundraising, and sporting opportunities available.
Joining Loughborough university has been the best decision that I have made! I was always scared of leaving my family but Loughborough has definitely made me feel like I’m home. The campus has amazing facilities from sport courts to the students union. I have made the best friends here and have made the most amazing memories.
All staff are happy to help however possible, great student wellbeing support. The Academic facilities are very well maintained, clean and comfortable. As far as accommodation goes I can only speak about mine (David Collett) but it's been great, all maintenance issues were quickly sorted out when reported, the rooms themselves are well sized and cozy, and the catered food is adequate (breakfast particularly is amazing). For Improvements, I'd say the only problem I've had personally is with my room being right next to the common room it gets loud very late into the night which is not ideal for 9AM lectures, but that's more on me for not wanting to submit a noise complaint because I don't want to annoy people. I do plan to look into moving rooms and am confident I'll be taken seriously and helped however is reasonably possible.
Loughborough is such a great place to study because it provides students with many diverse opportunities. Not only extra curricular but i believe their support system is one of the best. You can tell the university puts in a lot of work to make sure the well being of the students are great and that everyone entering the university whether staff, student or other can have an enjoyable time. i wouldn’t really say there is no cons and that it can be improved. Because as they’ve said they strive to always make improvements and are doing it day by day!
Love the campus and the convenience of living here! Everything a student could possibly need can be found on campus. Additionally there is so much student support available, which provides a lot of reassurance and I know there’s always someone to go to for any type of support I might need. The only critical feedback I really have is I found applying for halls to be a slightly stressful experience, and I think there could definitely be improvements to be made in that process. Other than that, I absolutely love studying at Loughborough and think it’s a great student experience!
Best aspect: the sport facilities in loughborough University are amazing. The opportunities I've had as a student regarding sports have been really amazing and have allowed me to pursue my passions whilst studying. I also really like the libary facilities. They are spacious and accommodating for all needs and create a great environment to study in. The worst aspect of my University experience has been the travel, in loughborough University the sprint buses have been extremely unreliable especially on the weekends.
The acces to things makes it ysegul

Best- Campus has everything you need on it, which makes it very useful as you don’t need to go into town much. It also has its own little community which improves student life and provides an escape from the work. I dont think anything needs improving, everything here has made my experience smooth

The only thing I don’t like is that Loughborough isn’t in a major city. Otherwise it is the perfect place for me and I wouldn’t change it
Only thing I don’t love is the lack of help from lecturers when stuck
They were great no complaints
