To improve I think that some places on campus could serve better food and that the union could have more daily events
Loughborough has amazing facilities for students. Sports facilities are particularly outstanding but also general campus and learning facilities too. There are lots of different places to study and there is generally just a good vibe around campus! The student's union offers so many things to get involved in and good nights out (always very busy!). There are so many societies to get involved in so is not just for sporty people which is great. The sport opportunities are amazing and something i have particularly enjoyed as a Loughborough student. The town is probably the main thing that could be improved as there is not so much to get involved in and not many student places/clubs to go to- however cities like Nottingham and Leicester are close.
Loughborough University is such a lovely place to study, the campus feels so welcoming and I've always felt at home since my first year. There's so much to get involved in, so you'll always find something to do. Accommodation is at a good level and in good locations around the uni depending on where your department is based. Loughborough also has great connections to other cities around the country to explore further!
Campus!
Loughborough has a certain feeling of community which is hard to find at other institutions. The award winning campus is a joy to call home, it's always nice to bring friends and show off the facilities here that we're very lucky to have.
The university has some great accommodation that you can go into, for 1st and 2nd and even 3rd which is particularly handy. The sporting facilities are also great with two gyms on campus all I would say if they do get very busy and you have to book on the app which stops the spontaneity of going to the gym. The union is also very expensive £7 and the app is difficult to use
A bit in the middle of nowhere but the course is great, and the opportunities and facilities are brilliant.
It’s a nice place
Campus has a very lively atmosphere and there is a sense of community in everything you do. Study facilities and sport facilities are excellent. There are endless opportunities to get involved with and to everyone makes you feel welcome. The student Union could listen to student feedback more and take into account what students want rather than what would make them more money.
Immense opportunities to take part in sports regardless of expertise, great student nights available throughout the week and a lot of student support

The best thing about Loughborough university is there is always something to do or a match to watch. Sport is constantly being played everywhere. As well as BUCS, there is also an IMS league so that more people can join in with competitive sport. My hall is a community with a family feel. The Union is always full and no matter where you are in Loughborough, there is always someone you know. Everyone is very friendly. However, the Union and campus in general is fairly expensive which doesn’t help when being a student.

The campus feels cheery and community led. One of the best things about the uni is how the halls are placed and how everyone bonds together on campus. Could do better with access to mental health support & student services.
Loughborough University has everything you need in terms of academics.
Immersive sporting environment
There are lots of study spaces available, very quite and accessible a lot of the time. There is an amazing community feel around the university. The campus is great, meaning everything is close together, with not much travelling needed. I feel like i need more support 1 to 1 with aspects of my course and that isn’t an option.
Facilities, campus feel and safety are all amazing. I feel there could be more opportunities and events for people to network and make friends at the very beginning of the year.
The opportunities to get involved in activities, however niche, are incredible. Campus has a great vibe and the university has a friendly and welcoming feel. The study spaces are great and really varied.
It is a great university with friendly staff and students - there is always something to do and take part in. The facilities are excellent, especially the sports ones. The non-sports facilities like the library and other department buildings look extremely run down externally and visually aren't very attractive at all. It is also quite far into town to get to a supermarket if you don't want to have to pay to get a bus or a taxi.
The union is the best place to chill with friends during the day and party during night. Really safe place as well because everything is inside the campus. The facilities are mainly new or well preserved. Mainly design school is quite amazing in terms of facilities. Would absolutely recommend.
