Sort:Latest reviewsI love the people and the facilities are amazing. Some lecturers speak real fast and only read off the slides but others are interesting
The sporting facilities are world-class, and the student community is friendly and extremely athletic! The size of the campus is massive, however, the town centre is quite far away from the campus, which is a little bit inconvenient.
The best things about my experience has been the social life, the course and the people I have met. Something I did struggle with was the change for uni life to college, but there is lots of support and you will get used to it!
Best- The facilities and women’s football programme for BUCS and Loughborough Lightning. Worst- juggling to make time for my course with sporting commitments and socialising
Everything about the university is top tier and pretty much better in every aspect than back home in Northern Ireland In terms of halls on campus, better noise cancelling and for catered halls the food could be improved too.
The uni campus has a really nice feel, the facilities are excellent both academically and for leisure. The Natural Sciences course has some flaws with how it juggles different pathways meaning you miss out on key teaching needed for some coursework such as lab reports. My personal tutor is amazing at helping with issues related to both work and general life so I feel very well-supported in my studies even when I come across issues.
I picked Loughborough University as it has the best swim program in the United Kingdom and allows me to accommodate high performance swimming as well as studying full time. The facilities are well maintained and equipped with new technology.
Being at Loughborough has been amazing, I love the campus and how safe it feels. Is super easy to get around and everything feels close by. I use the sports facilities a lot and they are so good, lots of space and get equipment in the gyms.
The lecturers are very helpful and really try and help you understand the content Even though the university is so good a sport it is very hard to get support for elite althetes around academics
Great campus with amazing facilities.
Love the environment and facilities
It's an amazing environment as a student athlete with facilities and support on my schedule with balancing sport and academics. As well as the social life it's inclusive and all the students are likeable and friendly which makes experience 100 times better!
facilities are are really good
Excellent facilities and Loughborough University is known for the best sporting facilities and extremely talented athletes. Great staff support and easy to adjust into uni life!!
nightlife not great, campus and facilities are very good, good student support
Exceptional campus, which is really easy to get to. Limited parking on and around campus for students. However, the staff have your best interests at heart particularly the placement team. The town is expanding but Nottingham and Leicester are so close.
Sports facilities are great and there’s lot to do on campus. Could be improved by removing all lectures from a Wednesday as many participate in BUCS.
4.5
It's a very green campus, with lots of quiet places to study, cafes, places to eat, etc. Loughborough itself is a very quiet town so there's not always a lot going on outside of the university.
I really enjoy the content for my course, however, it doesn't feel as though there is a lot of support once you're past first year. The facilities are good and most of the lecturers are enthusiastic about their fields
It's very value for money and suits my needs, however as the cheapest accommodation it's not the best. Room allocation is random and some rooms are much smaller than others. There's a great community and the reception and warden team are reliable, however there is an issue of bikes being stolen over holiday periods.
