Love it. Highly recommend getting involved with sports and societies. Great way to make friends. Speak to everyone as all will come from very different backgrounds. Whoop
Absolutely loved it. Loughborough is a fantastic university with top class facilities, family focussed with a great “bubble” atmosphere. I’d recommend doing a placement to get some real life experience before leaving
So far so good. I have met a lot of friendly people here, the sport facilities are excellent, the teachers are also very helpful and passionate about what they teach us.
It's going really well, love my accommodation and my course. They have been really good at getting us settled in. Freshers always a great experience and there were always "fresher helpers" there to help you back home and get you involved with all the activity yet.
I have really enjoyed university. It has been daunting but ive got used to it and am happy to have met loads of nice people. It is still something im getting used to but i am happy that i have come
- best experience - above expectations - very friendly staff - the best sport facilities - number 1 for student experience - clean - approachable professors - a lot of opportunitiees
Overall it has been a mix bag of excitement stress and figuring out how to look after myself. I have quite enjoyed some of the activities and less enjoyed others and trying things is important to figuring out what you wanna be and do later on,
I’m so glad I chose Loughborough. I’ve just started but I know the next 4 years are gonna be unforgettable! I’m enjoying every bit of the journey. It’s good to know that there’s so much help available , both personally and academically
Had the best experience considering I was so nervous about starting. The tutors are really friendly and everyone is willing to help. The Freshers week was short but was well worth it
I have enjoyed it very much as I have got involved in lots of sports including hall and department run activities where i have made lots of friends and my course is interesting
on the whole it has been pretty good - the hall experience is very good at lough borough and there is a real community feel. The union is one of the highlights of the university
Amazing course has been really enjoyable plenty of opportunities to get involved societies and sports. The lboro atmosphere is also unique with opportunity to get involved in many sports and societies
Love it, a fantastic university and a brilliant place to work, live and have fun! With a focus on the students and their experience, it’s really a great place to go and enjoy your time at university.
Really enjoying it so far, very welcoming and well structured introduction to uni, the course is well taught and exciting, and the sports are great- very expensive though.
It has been so fun. Lots of ups and downs. But being at this uni is so nice as people are always there for you. Lots of good memories and a place to mature. I love the overall feel to the uni with the staff and other students being so welcome. There’s like an open door policy at this uni which makes being away from home not sting too much.
Brilliant. Would never be able to compare another university to loughborough. Great overall student experience, and it feels like we are all a friendly team. Feel well supported and there are many facilities for all student needs.
It's a love hate relationship, stress and anxiety is often through the roof. However, you get opportunities you may not have got elsewhere, such as the connections to industry and research possibilities for further study.
Love loughborough uni and lectures just wish that there were more things to do in loughborough town in general. Excellent university but not much else to do apart from going to university
very good university, lecturers and tutors are all very helpful and friendly. wonderful facilities are avaliable throughout the campus. and the town centre has eveything you'll neeed


I have had the best 3 years of my life so far at LOUGHBOROUGH. It’s like one big family here, everyone knows everyone and looks out for each other. The tutors are so helpful and knowledgeable, the vice chancellor is amazing and cares so much for the uni and us as students, the campus is incredible and has so much on offer.
The university is situated in a perfect location close to everything, and has good train links and frequent buses, even to take you from one side of campus to the other!
The opportunities for sports and socities are incredible, anyone and everyone can find a sport or society that suits them, the possibilities are endless !

Very reasonable, great location close to town and campus, in the heart of the student triangle. Modern 4 bed terrace, safe area & a very helpful landlord.
