Sort:Latest reviewsCharge us too much for everything. Parking, any form of drinks etc. it’s not stuck friendly at all it’s purely focused profit. But good at sport and course is good. Student life isn’t good however
Best facilities for both sports and engineering as a student athlete myself, also the access to industry based learning. Make the union more internally run for events and nights out.
The staff and facilities are excellent.
In these first 6 weeks of studying at Loughborough, I've had such an incredible time; people are friendly and welcoming, staff are pleasant, the university is clean and well-presented. It's a privilege to study at Loughborough University and I would recommend it to any friends & family. The resources available to me as a chemistry student are more than sufficient, and the STEM Lab offers massive flexibility to perform a multitude of experiments. Any issues I've had on-campus have been swiftly resolved by contacting the appropriate team, hence there are no ways I could suggest the university be improved.
Sports facilities are really good as well as engineering equipment is an unfortunately long walk to the town however there is a Fairly cheap bus
Beautiful campus with loads of facilities for each discipline, especially stem courses which have access to multiple types of labs and workshops. Sports excels at Lboro of course and the facilities and clubs reflect that with training, social events and competitions. The night life has something for everyone with a range of events throughout each week and special events like Halloween or with outside providers.
Very community based university as it’s nice and compact on a campus. People are very friendly and eager to help you out, whether it’s a lecturer or a bar tender in the LSU nightclub. The sports facilities are pristine and there are always events to attend during the week. The uni could be improved by having specific 2nd and 3rd year accommodation and more opportunities for events in town. It could also be improved by promoting more recreational sports.
I love loughborough it is such a nice campus and there are so many places to study. Being a STEM student I have access to so many locations around campus to study and just chill out. I also love the support you get in Loughborough - there are so many networks that can help you and lots of people who are always there. I believe loughborough is just a great place for everyone.

The university has an amazing campus with everything imaginable at your hands. Although it’s a small town, the nightlife is great with the union being my favourite. It would be nice if we had more shops/bars as it is quite a pub place

The support I have received from my department and the Student Inclusion team has been outstanding. The lecturers in the Chemistry department are very enthusiastic about chemistry and make their lectures very engaging. They are also very friendly and have always helped me when I’ve had any problems. I think that the students union could advertise their quieter events more as they don’t seem to be talked about as much as the other events.
- Great campus and food options in town centre - Lots of areas to study and new engineering buildings are extremely nice - Great student support which makes you feel welcome
For the university academia this university is amazing, the support is unmatched and there are amazing opportunities especially in relation to sport. however the town isn’t amazing, but it’s close to major cities with good transport to make up for it.
The facilities at Loughborough are unprecedented. The campus has such a friendly, welcoming feel making it a great place to study and live!
Night life is dreadful however the campus, facilities, staff and Support network are all excellent. Loughborough town is one of the worst towns to live in within Leicestershire, however the scenic areas such as the outwoods, beacon hill and the University campus itself are lovely.
This university has many places to facilitate for silent/group studies and provides opportunities for peer study groups within courses and for the whole university. The only thing I would want improved is the prices of food and longer opening times of the SPAR stores on campus.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
