Sort:Latest reviewsBrilliant have loved my first semester at Loughborough university. Feels like one big family as everyone on campus is so friendly. Would have massively regretted going anywhere else
The experience has been challenging and interesting, with a huge variety of activities to help broaden my horizons and a wide range of people to get to know. The campus and it’s facilities are impressive and allow for so much fun to be had and work to be done. It’s been a very formative experience so far
Mint, it’s the best time of my life, I’ve made the best freinds ever through my sports and couldn’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be, I’m home in Loughborough and that’s the way it is now
I definitely picked the right university for me. Probably best life decision I’ve made so far. It has the best course, best sport facilities, good accomodation and have made so many new friends at this university
I’ve had the time of my life and have made so many memories and friends. I think career prospects are looking good after I graduate and look forward to being a Loughborough alumni. I couldn’t recommend it enough - fantastic place, fantastic people and fantastic everything.

Have massively enjoyed it, although I came through placement I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The variety of sports combined with social activities make everyday fun and different
Loughborough have been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It wasn’t my first choice but I am so thankful for the fact that I am here. I couldn’t fault the university at all.
Very good, think it’s very easy to settle in to lboro, you find people who are similar to you either in your hall, on your course or in a club. the amount of free opportunities for sport is amazing as the facilities are so good. only thing is catered meals are not the best, but are better than what i could cook for myself so guess they’re better than self-catered
I have had such an amazing uni experience that has taught me so much and also allowed me to experience things I wouldn’t have if I didn’t come to Loughborough. It has definitely shaped me into a more confident and more rounded person
Uni has been great right from the start. Freshers was so well organised with so much to do. The uni put in a lot of effort for us to meet as many people in our halls as possible through organised punch parties and predrinks. Since there have been many similar organised events. We are greatly encouraged to take part in sports, societies and opportunities.
It has been very exciting, fulfilling and good. I have made lots of new friends along the way and learnt a lot of important skills about independent living such as finances, cleaning, cooking and also i ndependent study.
It’s been amazing. The academic and social side have been so enjoyable. I love the modules and the optional modules. I love the societies and clubs that are available. I love it all
Have had a very good experience, settled in very quickly and had a lot of support in adjusting to university life both from academic staff, wardens etc and current students who’ve provided a good knowledge basis to work from in terms of making the most of uni.
Overall Loughborough is definitely a fun university to be in. The union often has activities on each week, which students can use to relax and better manage themselves. The university will often help you with issues, or at least advise you as best as they can, they always want to help you. Personally, you do have to be quite outgoing to quickly make friends, but if you always make an effort to talk to someone new each day, you'll soon become comfortable in university and have more familiar faces. Most flatmates become good friends but don't worry if that doesn't happen, there are loads of opportunities to socialise and make connections. The union is very safe to party in, and the campus itself is well looked after. If you don't drink, you'll be fine, I've been fine the whole time without drinking, and if people keep pressuring you, obviously you should find better people to spend the night with. All in all, Loughborough is worth the hype in terms of support and partying, and the design department is more than the hype, I've really enjoyed my degree personally, even if it is a lot of hard work.
Haven’t had a single bad experience yet. Social events are so fun. Halls of residence are the best to meet new people and make friends for life. Courses allow you to learn new skills etc
Coming from Durham university to start with, I have never felt more welcome then I have at Loughborough university. No other place has made me feel welcome, being on committee and meeting great people here, with sports on top and the education has just been a great experience
Amazing I love it so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Really good, I’d recommend lboro to absolutely everyone, the community feel is amazing and everything is walkable distance, lots of help and support always available
great experience but lots of work. Made great friends and had lots of new experiences. Lectures are interesting and societies are varied and exciting. Loughborough town is not the best though.
