Sort:Latest reviewsHaving since moved on to another instutition, I can safely say that Loughborough is the best university in the country, not only for sport but also for teaching, facilities and opportunities. The students' union provides incomparable chances to get involved in a myriad of projects that nowhere else in the UK offers. The campus is beautiful and has a community feel like no other. There is no better place to go! :)
It is a great university overall, concentrates on sport a lot, and on sport development so that if you didnt quite make AU then they help you to improve or stay involved in the sport.
Student "party life" is great-5* Sporting opportunities are also great-5* Maths lecturers talk and go through content too quickly and assume everyone has a basic understanding on all the topics when they don't-2* University facilities are pretty-4* Easy to get around campus-5* Elvyn Richards hall is full of snobby people who think they're big time..1* however because it's lovely accommodation to leave in, we'll give it 3* in total.. would be 5* if majority of people weren't asses
I'm so glad I came to Loughborough University. It really is an amazing place and the amount of times it has won best student experience were well deserved. I am even staying on to do a masters degree here as the place is so great.
Absolutely love and have loved my experience at Loughborough. Its definitely a unique university with a different experience to many others. There are plenty of things offered to us as students, whether that be clubs, societies, jobs, facilities etc. Being a staff member at the Students Union also has provided a me with a great experience and the opportunity to be part of the running and set up of the Union facilities. Sports facilities are great, and a wide selection of clubs are made to chose from.
Really beautiful and green campus and large amounts of sports facilities promote and encourage healthier active lifestyles. The university facilities are up to scratch and I feel like the teaching is of a high standard but individual modules do need improving slightly. The nights out are always fun and there is always something for everyone and no one ever feels as if there is nothing going on. There is great advertising and detailed information for events and opportunities to get involved in on and off campus.
Loughborough University offers the best of everything, from a massive range of societies, to a buzzing night-life, to a world class degree! I am extremely glad I chose to come to Loughborough and would highly recommend it to anyone applying to Universities!
I'm in my first year at Loughborough university and it absolutely blew my mind. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and the large campus breeds tight knit communities within halls and an opportunity to meet a huge number of people due to how large it is. The course is well taught and the lecturers are very professional, the committee run everything perfectly and the sports facilities are of course world class.
Would definitly recommend Loughborough Uni to anyone whether your sporty or not! Although I am in first year I have already made so many memories! The freshers here is one you'll never forget! It may seem like a huge campus but the accommodation is right in the middle so only a 10 minute walk either way it you can get the campus shuttle which is free when you show your student card! Love it here and wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else!
Staff could be more helpful and a less competitive environment. Campus and facilities are beautiful and a good sense of positive health and fitness which I enjoy. Met my best friends here
Really good university with so many options of things to do outside of your studies. Got a great variety of lecturers who are always enthusiastic and willing to help no matter what time of the day, visit in their offices or email. Brilliant students union that offer so much to do from Action to Rag.
Loved every minute! Everything is within walking or cycling distance. There are loads of quality lecture halls and the engineering department is fab! All the technicians are so fun and helpful that it makes it a good place to learn. The lecturers are also very good, mostly having open door policies and replying to emails with pleas for help.
Outstanding Uni with everything you could want. outstanding sports facilities. Award winning union with hundreds of clubs and societies. Great competitive edge in between halls and a lot of courses which excel above and beyond other universities attended by friends from when I looked around.
So many options for leadership, coaching and responsibility within sport. Possibilities are endless! Fantastic IMS and MY Lifestylesystem which proves that going to the top university for sport doesn't exclude low ability levels, there is something for everyone! Clubs and societies are student led which encourages employability
The Loughborough Experience is second to none. Academic departments are great, but Loughborough doesn't just offer you an amazing learning experience, it helps you to grow as a person. It's a cliche to say that there is something for everyone, but it is very true. With over 100 societies, sports teams (at a range of levels), a range of volunteering opportunities, and chances to help improve others experiences in university and beyond without Welfare and Diversity. This is created by the unique relationship between the University and the Students' Union.
Insane uni to be at, I've only been here for four months and already have seen that Loughborough has so much to offer, loving every aspect of it, both socially and academically.
Loughborough is the best place to study. Everything you need is with in reach, and the university supports you as a person not just as a student studying a degree. Support and opportunities are unlimited and you are guaranteed the time of your life
It's a really great university in a number of ways. It feels much more like a business environment than school and there's a lot of focus on careers. It's definitely a work hard, play hard environment and everyone is very friendly. It's a really nice size in terms of the number of students and the accessibility of everything on campus. You hardly need to go to town. There are lots of opportunities in sports, media, engineering and business. It's a very forward looking university which is what I think I like so much about the place, always looking for new ideas and ways of doing things. Students are very much part of the management here and the students union is very active. If you want a well rounded university life this is definitely the place to come! My accommodation in Royce hall really great. Being catered during the weekdays is really convenient and sociable and it is easy to get food from the local shop for the weekends. I would recommend being in the student village (particularly Royce, Faraday or Rutherford) as they are closest to the village store, in a sociable location, not too far from the library, the closest in the village to the students union and many lecture theatres. The university seems very organised and efficient in dealing with any issues and even preventing them in the first place. There is a bit of a lad culture sometimes but that doesn't mean they are unfriendly and only really surfaces after a few drinks! My feeling is that many of the students here are very proud of our uni and that certainly says something!
Very nice campus with loads of facilities and good accommodation. Great night life and nice private housing as well as halls. Course is ok, but lecturers in my experience have been very poor and often difficult to understand
4.5
Loughborough has been absolutely amazing and I have loved every minute of studying there, having spent 2 years in halls I can strongly recommend it as the hall rivalry and hall spirit really make your time at university. Also the Union is a great place to meet people and offers everything you could possibly need, there is a reason its won Best Student Experience several years running!!!
