18-24 years
Best parts: being on a campus where everyone is like-minded and being surrounded by students
Great sense of community
The campus is absolutely ginormous! Great bus service.
Great location in the heart of England, surrounded by woods and hills to explore. The campus itself is very safe and easy to navigate, despite its vast size. Loughborough is a quaint little town with all the necessities and entertainment needed by a student at a short walk away.
Amazing support from great lecturers & great facilities!
Loughborough University is a great place to study. Some of its best aspects include the sporting facilities that are world renowned for a reason - that being their quality and quantity. As someone who has always enjoyed being in a sporting environment but not always had the access/opportunity to immerse myself in sport - I find it incredible that there's a variety of access for sport for all students. Even those struggling to afford sport packages are able to apply for the opportunity fund - as I have done for two years now and received it with little to no hastle. Some of the poorer aspects include the student pool. As someone who is an ethnic minority I do struggle at Loughborough to feel as though I 'fit in'. Often times, I am stared at in a lecture hall or in a classroom where I am usually the only person of colour if not one of few. This creates a bit of anxiety for myself and makes it difficult for me on student union nights as well when people will not speak to me in the same way they might my white counterparts. As well as this, whilst the university is a top 10 - the level of education doesn't always feel like that. For example, lectures typically consist off of reading from slides with little additional input from lecturers. This makes it difficult to be proactive in your studies as you can usually get the slides done quicker as well as further reading in the time that it would take to attend your lectures for the day.
loughborough is a very beautiful campus with great lecture halls and lecturers. the halls and library are great places to study. the union is a great night out as well as spots in town. the worst aspect for me is the walk into town especially when it’s colder months but there are buses available
The sporting facilities are amazing!
I like that its not a big city place, i enjoy a more peaceful place but would like more activities to have here to do, like bowling etc I enjoy meeting new people which i have done with the Uni accommodation, its a new experience I would say it is hard to do gym or do sports as there would too many people doing it so would be very busy.
The people, vibe and accommodation is amazing. Only downside is that the town is small.
4.5
The best aspects are how well supported you are as a student, and all the opportunities that are available to you.
My course is mainly taught in person, with a few online lectures. Contact time is manageable throughout the whole week. Sometimes the lecturers are less supportive with students, talking quickly so it is hard to keep up
It is close to the shops which is very convenient and only a short walk to the university. Being away from campus means it has been harder to interact with more people
