It feels like there is always something going on and you’re always made to feel like there are people around to support you. The university puts student wellbeing at the forefront of everything it does and I am amazed at how well I feel supported and valued here. I am yet to have a bad experience.
The sport availability is incredible for all levels, memberships - whilst expensive - are value for money and I have made lifelong friends from many of the clubs and teams I have joined. The courses themselves are quite good, but I have found that the quality of the lecturers can vary largely; some amazing, others not so much.
The facilities are well up to date and provide hands on experience which will be useful in industry.
So far, I have really enjoyed the social aspect of University life, specifically meeting people through the various societies and finding people with similar interests to me. The societies at Loughborough are quickly becoming my favourite part. The facilities I have access to on my course are also fantastic and I plan to make good use of them during my years of study here. Adjusting to Uni life was mentally challenging but the knowing that the mental health support was there was very comforting. I haven’t currently had any experiences that I would look on as overly negative.
Community like feeling with lots of support from both peers and the university staff Lots of areas catered for students to do various things such as study, relax, socialise etc. Announcements on job prospects and the such that will help with employability in the future Responsive lecturers with lectures being captured and uploaded for review after only days after the in person lecture
The study and sporting facilities are world class, there is always so much to do on campus no matter what your interest is
I love the family feel at loughborough, everyone is friendly and all the staff are helpful. I think it could be improved in areas for non-elite athletes to make them feel more part of the community.
The union and services within are some of the best around, however to get around to ends of campus, the buses would be better to be more frequent
It’s a great large and friendly campus in a nice location- the town itself is quite small but it’s close to some major cities so I think it’s the best of both worlds.
My course facilities are very good, the labs especially are equipped with the newest equipment. In terms of support, my lecturers are always available to help with I appreciate, and the lsu is full of great facilities too.
Best aspect of the university experience: It feels very much like a community, where you see a lot of familiar people on campus. This is especially due to events that brings everyone together, such as Winter Balls, High tables, IMS (sport matches) etc. Worst aspect of the university experience: The Location that the university is in, as can be quite a long walk into town (the university feels quite distant to the town). However, the university provides bus services to town and around campus, which is good.
The facilities are would class
Loughborough University is a fantastic place to study. Although I’m only a first year, I feel like im part of the family already. Being a campus university it’s great in terms of facilities, as anything you need is only a short walk away. The lectures are really helpful which means you never feel shy to ask questions. I’d recommend Loughborough University above anywhere else.
The best is the facilities like the library, gyms, student union and the fact that the university hosts so many activities and societies. The worst is how expensive sports are. Joining a casual sport club cost me over £100 for one year.
I love the student union and love how there are many inclusive events. I wish my lectures were less boring.
The best aspects of Loughborough Uni are the facilities, there is so much on offer here and always people to support you along the way.
I like the variety of societies and there’s plenty of ways to get involved. Personally the campus is a bit big for me, but this may be a selling point for someone different
The facilites at Loughborough are amazing for both sports and studying. 24/7 open facilities ensures I can revise when I need to and fit around my schedule. The one thing that could be improved I would say is that the support network handnt rang me back a week after we rang asking for support. Not sure why they haven’t responded by I will have to ring up again.
-Calm & safe, but too excluded from the outside world.
4.5
Best - facilities, modern , size, bus access Worst- bus schedule, study spaces
Sociology does not seem to be valued as much as other subject so making us feel like we are not outcasts
Better property management
