Best- campus. Lecturers. Worst- campus bus never on time.
The amount of support and opportunities available is amazing, There is also a range of societies to join. My best experience has been in the societies. However learning how to do readings and independent research can be confusing at times.
Best: I’ve found lecturers to be extremely friendly and helpful on all occasions. Worst: The Athletic Union department in the students‘ union is sometimes disorganised in arranging coach transport to sports fixtures or keeping comprehensive records of finances.
Really good support within the English department for people with disabilities. Not enough benches/bus shelters around campus, which can make the campus difficult to navigate if you have a disability.
Loughborough has a beautiful campus that is very accessible to move around on. I bike everywhere on campus and in town which feels amazing. Lots of encouragement to move your body. Great people

Best - student support, campus living, community, social life, sport opportunities, lecture engagement Worst- N/A
Student services, such as well-being and disability, have been patient and efficient in helping me. Most places on campus are very well-kept and clean as well as having a lot of facilities to use. It has a nice atmosphere. The union has a lot of space to hang out in, as well as having a shop inside of it. Having it in the midlands means it’s close to home and there’s a lot of easy access to major cities like Manchester and Nottingham, which is great for a lot of things. The art building is a little behind compared to others on campus but still have everything needed.
Lovely campus feel, bus makes all areas accessible, amazing study spaces More plugs in study spaces, library gets busy in exam season
Amazing sports facilities and art and design facilities. Student union nightlife was much better pre-covid with 3 rooms and buying tickets on the door.
Very supportive and inclusive Uni. One thing I would say is that for a student union, I do not feel that the prices are very student friendly. However, great facilities and I’ve had such a great experience here so far.
Great campus feel. No supermarkets nearby in first year halls
Sports facilities General campus beauty Extra academic support
There is so much support available to me as a student at Loughborough. I have the opportunity to learn from students who are studying my course but are further ahead in their studies than me through peer-assisted in learning. The campus and facilities make Loughborough a great place to be and fantastic place to study as a student-athlete.
The lectures and subjects for study are great as well as the campus facilities The sports are great and there are lots of societies, so everyone has a place to be.
Love the vibe on campus Would like cheaper union tickets and drinks
The people are very welcoming.
The campus is massive and there’s always more to explore. The accommodations here are amazing and the facilities in general are very high quality. The gyms are with surprise the best I’ve ever been to.
Best aspects: - Community Feel - Sports facilities and opportunities - Placement/Careers Team Worst aspects: - Certain course modules - Unusual approach to freshers
Great lectures and course set-up,. Campus has everything required and more especially with regards to sport. Student union could be better with cheaper food options available rather than limited expensive options. Student support is incredible and there is loads to get involved in in all areas.
4.5
The atmosphere feels really nice and homely. It feels like we are a large family and I feel safe walking around the campus. There are lots of different support available for all needs. There have been a couple of issues where maintenance in my student accommodation takes a while to sort out problems but they are resolved eventually.
I like that the majority of my lectures are taught in person but there is also the ability to watch them back online after. The hours are not too much or too little either which I like. I dislike a few of the compulsory maths modules and they are quite challenging so I wish I had more of those. I have only had one group meeting with my tutor.
I like the community feel that Bakewell has and I think that the kitchen and en-suite rooms are very modern. There have been a few incidents where minor things have needed fixing in my bedroom and kitchen and maintenance have taken a few days to respond but they’ve been resolved eventually.
