It’s a great place to study due to the large investment in departments as well as auxiliary facilities but feels like a bubble due to Loughborough being a small town.
The facilities are easily the best aspect as they are world class. The worst thing I found was the placement support for helping students who don’t live in London find somewhere to live. There were no support networks set up at all. Apart from that the teaching is solid and the student life is overall really good
Student union only cares about money not the students
Loughborough university is a great place to study. The facilities are amazing and the course and sports are very enjoyable
The worst is the fact that Loughborough is so far from everywhere, but it is an amazing university
The university have really good facilities, however, when trying to get a study space on campus it is difficult to find one as there’s a limited availability
The facilities are great but you just need to be aware of all the closing times of all the rooms.
The best aspect is the student community and feel of the university. Halls, sport and societies are plentiful and sociable and there are so many ways to get involved and meet people. Students union is reasonably good as an outsider and has lots of events etc, but on a society committee and being here several years it can often feel stressful and sometimes feel that they don't put students first. Often feel like the main priority is making money as an organisation and can sometimes seem disorganised.
It offers amazing opportunities for voluntary work, the facilities are maintained to a high standard. The union could make more of an effort to provide affordable services as well as make some improvements to the union clubs such as extending the last entry and mix up the themes and music played at the events
The student union tickets for a clubbing are too expensive especially since it get very crowded. It has a nice big campus with lots of nature walks.

Loughborough is a great place to study because it’s one of a very few group of universities that ensures that most if not all of its students go on for a placement year. This in particular was very important when i chose what university i was going to attend because for the career i aspire to get into it is very important to have experience and the placement enables this for me. Loughborough is also one of a very few universities in the UK that has a student managed fund and i am a member of this society where we analyse what funds and companies the society should look to invest in. This gives me relevant insight into how things work in the stock markets. Loughborough is a beautiful campus, one of the best i feel in the country. However one thing i wish we had was a lake or pond like scene on campus. That would elevate the entire campus in my opinion. in terms of the course, one thing i wish we had more of was people in industry giving presentations on their experiences of their careers
the facilities provide endless opportunities to remain active and academically successful through things such as the library, social spaces and gyms
I like the aspect of it being a close-knit community and that the campus is close to the town. It’s a really good place to study as there are a lot cafes and locations to go to but the price of food on campus is extortionate so that’s the only bad thing I would say.
Union is not good for nights out
Best = sport and facilities Worst = have to pay to use them as they’re not open all the time
The best part is the sport and facilities available. As a footballer the football is a very high standard and with great coaches. More interactive lectures would be nice.
Surrounded by highly ambitious students and athletes, making campus an ideal place to study
Newer buildings
Campus feel but location is lacking


The study areas are brilliant and perfect for quiet individual study, plus group study. The lecture rooms could do with a cooling system. Even in the winter, the rooms are unbareably hot
The slides are well presented and easy to take information from. Sometimes, a lecturer just reading off slides gets very repetitive
It was so social and met so many people. Some of the food wasn’t the best
