Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
There's a range of subjects on my course but it's not particularly stimulating and is a lot of work. The accommodation is great, close to everything, good sized rooms and kitchens and the people are really nice. My favourite thing to do in the nearby cities is to go for nights out. Uni facilities are great, although the sports facilities could be cheaper to use. I've joined management and marketing societies and enjoy them. The SU is good but the range of events could be improved. There's a good range of support services like nightline. I feel like job propsects will be difficult but possible. Overall the university of very good. I would recomend it to others.
Loughborough University is a truly unique experience. For a relatively small market town uni there is always loads going on and loads to get involved with! I was worried about coming to Loughborough as it is a sport university and I hate sport, but that's just one part of many. The students union has sections for volunteering, charity work, societies, media etc. and is run by graduates for an amazing student experience. I currently have a part-time job there in marketing and it's great! There are also great nights out at the union and town depending on your preferences. Academically my course is commercially relevant and interesting with lectures from experts in their field. There is always support available if you need it. The facilities are mainly modern with good availability. The careers centre is also very helpful for placements/CVs/any other job-related advice! The hall spirit is also second to none, with great competitive spirit to be the best in loads of activities. The sing off is also unique to Loughborough in which freshers from each hall compete for the sing off champions title and is a great event. Overall, Loughborough has it all, providing the best student experience I could have asked for!
The facilities at Loughborough are pretty good. There is always a computer on campus to use and several rooms for this. The library is also good for group work with study rooms and carrels for personal study. Several of my books are also online to read which is really useful. There can be availability issues around exam time though, with a lot of competition for space! If you get there early enough though it usually works.
Loughborough student support is fantastic. We have a student services building and websites with pretty much all the advice and support you need at uni. This covers everything from employability to housing. There is also the student accommodation centre to help you with that. LSU also has the student voice service if you want to talk about your studies confidentially with someone.
LSU drives the best student experience. It is a fantastic place and provides so much to get involved in. There are loads of opportunities to develop yourself and be more than your course, with Action, Rag, societies and media, its quite unbelievable! At night the union transforms to 3 nightclubs with music for all tastes and is a great night out! LSU is run by Loughborough graduates who know what the students want which is great.
Loughborough is a relatively small market town but has everything you need with all the major supermarkets which deliver too. There are quite a few high street shops and some shopping centres in town, but nothing compared to bigger cities like Leicester and Nottingham, but these are just 10 minutes away by train if you want good shopping! There are also some nice restaurants and bars for social occasions and the market runs on Thursday and Saturday for good value produce! There are 4 clubs including Revs if you fancy something different to LSU.
I can't really comment here as I'm not part of a society but I do know there are loads (over 70!), providing something for everyone. Each society also has committees if you want to get involved and enhance your skills.
My course involves a wide range of modules which makes it interesting. The lecturers are also passionate about their subject which can be infectious, whilst demonstrating expertise in their chosen field. There can be some lecturers that don't speak fluent English which can be an issue, but these are resolved by your programme reps who liaise with the head of department.
Loughborough graduates are very employable - I had a module last year specifically on developing our employability. The careers centre also provides loads of advice and support to help with careers. They also hold careers fairs each year where employers come onto campus and students can network with them - a great opportunity!
I lived in Unite Halls (William Morris) in first year - these were basic and could have done with some TLC but the room was a good size with everything I needed. The kitchen could have had better facilities for a 7-person flat though. In William Morris particularly there is the issue of much nicer blocks that cost exactly the same as the older blocks, which is quite unfair in my opinion! But it's all really sociable and you will make great friends in halls - you can also get involved in the committee to gain some good skills. There are loads of private houses in town but be wary of the estate agent/landlord you choose - don't rush into anything! The Housing Bazaar in December provides a good opportunity to study your options. I live in a house now but personally I think halls are better, but that may just be my personal house experience as we have had maintenance and rent issues. Overall the accommodation is good value and cheaper than my friends from home who are at uni elsewhere.
The unversity experience has been ok so far. All I want to do, is to graduate and focus on creating my own business. I'm in the stage of university where I'm getting tired of the lectures and seminars.
Really good for business and marketing. The business school is fairly new and there's a new students union built right beside uni halls. They've invested loads in the uni recently, and in the students too - especially in terms of employability.
There's a brand new one now which looks good
Not a member of any
Didn't use uni accommodation in first year cos there wasn't room but there is loads of private halls
DMU is a cosy little university, halls of residence very close, good vibe around the university. the sports and societies are really good fun and have great social life
10/10 the uni experience was amazing. The campus was friendly and always buzzing with students. I loves my three years in university of Ulster Magee. I did a business degree and the lecturers were very knowledgeable and helpful from day one.

Very helpful
Brilliant, very good vibe on a daily basis.
Derry-ok city

Business with Marketing

Overall an excellent university to attend. Job prospects, courses and lecturers, student union, accommodation, uni facilities, city life, clubs and societies and student support are all of a high standard and is reflected in the university's rankings.
Coventry University offers fantastic facilities for students and continues to invest in new equipment for a wide range of degree courses.
The university offers a huge amount of student support, whether it be for employability, learning support, well being and other general enquiries.
Offers everything a student could hope for.
Coventry city life is satisfactory at best, however the council and university are investing in certain areas of the city to improve the quality of life for students and other residents.
Coventry University offers a diverse range of different sports and societies to get involved with and the majority are run well.
My course has been extremely engaging and thought provoking. The lecturers are intuitive and happy to offer help as and when is needed.
High job prospects due to the university rankings in the league tables.
University run accommodation could be improved, however externally run student accommodation offers excellent standard of living.
Beautiful campus and amazing support systems from lecturers and other staff members. They don't just see students as numbers but are interested in getting to know us by names which is something that I feel differentiates Roehampton from other London universities. There's so much resources in terms of assignment/study support, employability advice, and a strong communication system with teachers.
Lot's of computer rooms and study spaces. IT systems could be better
As mentioned before, a great support system in terms of finance, work, employment, etc. You don't ever have to feel alone at university, all the help is there for when you choose to go seek it
I have not gotten involved with the union as much but from what ive witnessed it seems like a great place for students to relax and be a community. It's a great place for people living away from home especially.
Roehampton is a nice little area with lots of greenery which makes it feel like you're not even in the city at times! However, it's just as easy to hop on a bus and head to central London in no time. Everywhere is accessible
The uni opens its arms to all sorts of societies which really shows that university is about students.
Great range of courses and interesting modules. Lecturers are enthusiastic and always try to do what's best for us and to cater to our needs. They are very relaxed and office doors are always open for advice.
Great employability centre andthey always have events and workshops to help with CV/interview advice as well as inviting professionals for guest talks
I live at home so this is not applicable but I have a few friends who do and from what ive seen everything's decent and comfortable looking. It doesn't matter where your accommodation is placed on campus, you are sure to get a beautiful scenery walk on the way to classes
Small so great for feeling part of a family and gas a good campus feel. Have to really involve yourself though to feel part of the group. Having everything on campus in your first year is really easy and a good way to meet people.
Brand new
Union has a great support system and uni backs it up well.
Not many events but great feel and banter like a bar
Edinburgh is a fantastic city to study in
Lots to choose from. Can be pretty clique like but persevere and you will want to do nothing else!
Nice building for lectures
Does good vocational courses useful for applying for work.
Far out of town but very comfy flats and all on campus. Good for 1st year.
So far so good the lecturers have wide range of business knowledge. I would say that the amount of computers in library could be improved.
Financial support, Learning supports, personal supervisor
Sometimes they don't have enough staff so it might take long to wait
The teas are a bit expensive, compare to others but location is good.

Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
