Sort:Latest reviewsliterally couldn't have picked a better uni the overall student life is amazing.. and night life is actually really good despite what people say sport is just incredible the societies are so good as well and so many to choose from there's so much to do everyone has a positive vibe about them and theres not that much walking to do as everything is in close proximity of eachother
Great so far but after 4 years I’m ready to move into work. It has been a great learning experience. Uni has set me up well for work by encouraging doing a placement and getting sponsorship.

So much to get involved with and so many experiences and opportunities have come from it. Amazing academically as well as extra curricular amazing facilities.

Couldn’t of wished for anything better. The university offers so much in terms of co curricula, sport and studies. All at an impressively high level. Despite this the uni has an amazingly warm family feel. The uni prides itself in making everyone feel at home.
It’s been amazing! This is my final year and I will be really sad to leave the Loughborough bubble! From the teaching, the support, the events and the general atmosphere at Loughborough, it has definitely been the best 3 year so far!
It has had its ups and downs. I hated first year and feel I’d enjoy this year in different accommodation but my content is much more interesting and fun. I get to chose what I want to explore and delve into as well as having support for future endeavours
A very positive experience thus far. Lots was organised for us for freshers and the lectures have been good thus far. I have enjoyed myself thoroughly. Well done
So many opportunities I’ve tried so much and it’s really helped me develop as a person. Really friendly vibe on campus and everyone was so welcoming. The union is so useful if you ever have any new ideas for societies!
I’m currently in second year at Loughborough and I love it. Even though the town is quite small you still have everything you need. Also the uni itself is really nice as it feels like a community.
Loved it so far. Wouldn’t want to be doing/ be anywhere else. Sporting is very competitive and the course is so interesting with exceptional ties with great companies
I have really enjoyed university so far. I love meeting new people, staying busy and going places so it's great. My course is something I've wanted to study for so long that I'm wanting to go lectures rather than barely motivated to go, which is hugely encouraging. My only struggle is time management and sleep management! Along with the constant requirement to go out.
I have only been at Loughborough 4 weeks but for a person who likes to get involved this is the perfect university for me. I have already got a part time job with the university, joined the finance and investment society, made it onto the under 19s handball team, going ti america this summer thanks to Loughboroughs placement faie, become course rep, and I am in the process with a team of 7 of creating a social enterprise with Enactus. Have an amazing (and busy) time.
My entire university experience has been amazing, and the University has impacted on it through sports and societies and friends. The course it’s self has been stressful but very rewardinv
I have had a brilliant time so far at university . There are lots of things to do in free time such as a wide range of sports or joining a society. The university has given me many oppurtunities to develop my personal skills and have made me feel very welcome
I have loved every single second! There are so many opportunities and you should get involved in as much as you can, as everything is an experience: from society and sport fairs, the fit fest at Holywell to socials ran by your subject and accommodation!
It's been good so far. As an international student I wouldn't have expected Loughborough to be as diverse as it is. I felt very welcomed and look forward to my course everyday.
I've enjoyed many aspects of uni so far. It's great to be able to study something I chose and am interested in. Also joining societies, such as the CU, LSUsing and Loughborough ice skating, have been great for getting to know people with similar interests and sharing in those. The Christian Union at Loughborough puts on many events throughout the year for all students at uni, such as quizzes, cakes and shakes and talks for students wanting to learn about Christianity. I have enjoyed learning more about psychology too. While lectures are dull and hard to concentrate in, all are put online both the slides and recording, and you have the option to play it up to 2times faster so if you can't go to a lecture or weren't listening you can watch it, which has been very useful.
Good. Second year has been very nice so far. Loughborough Uni is huge and can be overwhelming! But you have a big support network, a Union that will take care of you, and a cheap little town, where everything is 15mins away. You'll be fine :) best of luck!
Enjoy the course, especially in second and first year. Lots of opportunities to get involved in sports and societies. Halls are good. Careers advice is good. Very social.

Very good. I feel my course has been very enjoyable and productive so far. I have also been able to complete a placement year which was a great experience. I have also taken part in a variety of activities outside of the course which has been very pleasant too.
Yes accommodation is all within walking distance and very accessible with a bike. Also within reach of the town where many shops are available.
Very good variety available. Something for everyone.

Very happy. House is safe, and well kept. The location is very near the town and within a suitable distance of the campus. Cost is very good for the size of the property and facilities.
