Campus is astonishing, facilities are also great but some buildings like Wavy Top should be renovated or removed
Wowwww
You feel welcomed! It feels like home. There are a lot of different people with different backgrounds and this is allows to meet and learn something new everyday! The facilities are excellent. Only issue would say is that there is a lot of traffic, as there are schools and colleges around in the area, so sometimes this can cause some issues to be on time even if you leave early.
Loughborough is so welcoming and a safe place to be, I love the Uni and culture
Great student spaces and support, really low belt campus feeling.
There is a good balance of work/lectures throughout the day and social gatherings/nightlife throughout the night. There are a range of clubs to attend to party and have fun. JC's pub is awesome!
Most of the facilities are nice and modern and I love that everything is very sport centred. It does seem to lack in the other areas but I think the fact it is world leading in sport makes up for it
Everything is close together on a massive campus which is great. All the sports facilities are the best on offer. If u want a good night out you probably have to go to Nottingham which can be a bit annoying (the su can be pretty good tho).
The teaching is really good and it’s great for sports.
Best thing is all the sport facilities and great campus overall. Could be improved by there being less traffic on and around campus.
Really good campus facilities, easy to meet new people and make friends and friendly and supportive lecturers. Could be improved by having better food, improved en-suites, and having a better lecturer for one certain module
Lectures are very helpful and lectures are very interactive. The library is already starting to get really busy so it would be nice to have more silent study places
There's so many different things to do around the university which is a great way to socialise and make friends and the sports facilities are really great
It's very inclusive and social, the sporty aspect to it makes it really lively and the campus is just amazing. I think having an on campus art shop would be really beneficial for the SDCA students; other than that I find the facilities more than satisfactory.
Loughborough SU is diverse and unique in it's opportunities. Sometimes they don't fully understand student needs but on the whole they're v good. uni is amazing and staff on my course are really friendly and receptive. student placement support was really good
Good facilities, nice lecturers, plenty of support surrounding your studies.
Great environment feels welcoming and there’s always the option of additional support if needed. Could offer more opportunities to watch/ tag along/ help out with coaching/ filming/ events everything seems to be on a sign up basis there could be some more relaxed opportunities for people who are more unsure on what they want to do so just want a taster into it.
The campus is very nice, and there are always things to get involved in/extra-curricular opportunities for students.


Facilities and campus itself is great and was one of the primary draws for me. Teachers are inviting and passionate about the subjects, only 1 topic I have struggled with the teaching style but the teacher is still passionate on their subject. I have the means to catch up on that topic outside of the lectures. It is well known for sport - I like badminton. I feel there could be more availability to play more badminton, even in the AU - at my level there is only 6.5 hours each week. 5 of those hours are over-attended and so actual court time is half.
There is lectures in the week with reading required for some seminars. There is interactivity / participation in lectures by virtual ways of vevox or others. I would like more 'mini tests' within lectures on the immediate materials.
All campus locations are within 30 minute walk. I wouldnt like to be on the ground floor.
