Sort:Latest reviewsFantastic campus and great accomodation, extremely friendly and helpful staff and students. Coming to an end of my first year now and it's gone so fast. Good nights out and a good course has made a brilliant year!
Great place to learn and grow as an individual. Countless opportunities to get involved with sport and other union clubs. Large campus university with a great community vibe. Not too far from a few big cities such as Nottingham and Leicester, if you ever get bored at the weekends!
Excellent hall life for freshers, so much to get involved with. Being a Loughborough student stands out to placement and graduate offers
Although Loughborough town itself isn't that great, the university is amazing and provides an incredible student experience with outstanding facilities and support
Loughborough is a very busy university with a lot to offer. I am constantly being updated with information about career prospects, volunteer opportunities and activities, offering a lot more beyond my course. There is a real sense of community within the university and I love that it is all contained within the campus, which in itself is effectively a small town. As a first year student, I have settled in well and my halls have again offered me many opportunities to get involved with the University. The night life is very good and I enjoy the friendly rivalry between halls through things such as RAG, FREEC and sports.
Pretty decent experience I'd say
Loughborough university is a brilliant uni that gives students wonderful opportunities in education and social circumstance preparing you for life in the business world
Comparing Loughborough University to all other universities my friends have gone to, I have definitely made the right choice. The facilities are second to none with a student life to match.
The single campus means the university feels most concentrated and ordered as well as easy to get around especially with the free buses which are frequent and large number of bike racks. Lectures are good with tutorials and material uploaded online. Emails to staff are responded to promptly although some coursework does take a long time to be returned.
Absolutely love it here in Loughborough! I am a fresher and it has been such a great experience, I love the community feel. Fresher's was absolutely amazing!!!!! I enjoy my degree and the lecturers who deliver them.
Very good university with amazing facilities for sport. Student life is fun if in balance with the work load which depends on the course. The university's reputation is very good within employers and i would say it is one of the best places to go for a balanced student life.
Its a great place to study and live. The town itself is small and only has the essentials but has a variety of pubs, clubs and restaurants. Plus cities such as Nottingham and Leicester are close by. The university itself has a great balance between studies and social life. There is always an event on and the facilities are always improving; this includes computer availability, sports and specific bookings. I would highly recommend it to any student. Go in with an open heart and a willingness to try something new and you will have the best 3/4 years of your young adult life.
I really like Loughborough, the teaching standard for my subject is generally very good, with lecturers and tutors who genuinely seem to care about your grades, and not just their own research. The range of societies, fitness classes, and student-run companies offered is huge, really helping to enrich our uni experience. Also, the campus is great, and the union provides a fun, affordable place to go out which isn't too far to go.
Fantastic. Cant fault it. One of the best periods of my life and i couldnt have asked for a better university to go to to support me with everything, from nightlife, to the course, to the staff. everything has been excellent.
a great all round uni, the teaching is excellent with lecturers always having the time for you. and the atmosphere of the uni in general is so friendly. and the night life is quality.
Loughborough is a very good university, ensuring students work hard while providing loads of non course related activities. Strong community feel around halls and uni. Course is taxing and has good content, while lecturers are all enthusiastic about their work. IT facilities are good, with lecture slide all going up onto a very easy to use site.
Not just a great university to get a top degree from with good job prospects, also amazing student experience. So many sports and societies to join, with Loughborough obviously being the top uni for sport not just for elite, but also for participation. As well as having one of the best students unions in the country from my experience.
Large university with everything you could need on one campus. Excellent sports facilities with great coaching staff who are always humble. with the best students union in the country, societies and night life are always well organised. Accommodation is mostly based on campus making attendance to lectures effortless.
Amazing university, stunning campus and courses are rewarding. Loads of extracurricular opportunities and a variety of accommodations for all budgets. Not to mention the courses are some of the best in the country.

I have met some lovely people and had some really lively experiences. However it could've been better. The freshers week events were a bit weird. Would've been better if they had asked around what freshers would be interested in. However many people have enjoyed themselves. It's all about what you make of your experience.
Dissapointing. Not much variety in terms of shops. Has the basics such as a tesco and sainsbury's. However if you are looking to do a retail shop, you are better off going to a larger city such as Leicester.
Many societies to choose from and they actively try to get people involved.
I live in halls which share both the kitchen and the bathroom. The kitchen is spacious and large enough to share, however it is helpful if you begin cooking at different times. Sharing the bathroom isn't bad either as the cleaners come in once a week. Also there is never an time to be waiting to use the showers. However as a first year you don't get to choose preferred people you would like to live with, such as having similar interests (which is something I would have liked).
