The best part of my university experience has been the extracurricular and social opportunities. There are so many different free events which anyone can access which is amazing.
The environment of Loughborough university is like no other, I feel very safe and really enjoy my time at Loughborough.

The campus is spacious and quickly starts to feels like home
Loughborough University truly has a strong family feel and is a supportive environment. Like most, I arrived at university nervous and apprehensive but my mind was put at ease very quickly. The support system is amazing as there are multiple places I know of that I can go to for help if ever I need it. There are also so many opportunities for growth outside of your degree, such as mental health first aid courses ran by the student's Union and much more. I love being at Loughborough, it is a friendly and supportive environment where I have made friends for life.

Incredible campus with endless opportunity’s - Overall outstanding University!
When joining Loughborough, you immediately feel apart of the Loughborough bubble. Everyone is absolutely friendly and there are always so many ways to meet new people. I love the campus uni life as you constantly get to be around students. I think there could be a few more nightclubs in Loughborough. But Leicester and Nottingham aren’t too far!!
Facilities and lecturers are great. Brilliant hall spirit and culture. Student union is disappointing
The best part is the campus - it’s a really nice environment and feels safe. There is great support for finding a placement as well. There could be better support for my course.
There is a real family feel to the campus and I love that it is a campus university it feels like our own little village. It could be improved by giving students reading weeks like other universities do, i feel like that would be really helpful.

Campus is very pretty, everything in one place, lovely areas to walk - joining in with opportunities at the union is a great place to meet new people. Some of the buildings are very modern, content of lectures are usually very useful. Unfortunately some of the buildings are also old and slightly run down.
The community feel on campus is like no other, the university is supportive inclusive and makes learning interesting
Great campus and facilities, good links to nearby cities
Best for sport

Best aspects: Sports facilities. A lot of the places on campus are great to sit and study, with decent affordable food outlets. Campus is a great place to be, lots of green spaces. Local rents are cheap and houses are decent. Academic support for me has been great. Pastoral support is also quite good. Not so great aspects: social life is a bit sports oriented- if that’s not so much your thing. Nights out are okay but not great. It’s in kind of an awkward place in the country between Nottingham and leics, and it’s a small town centre
