Sort:Latest reviewsEverything you want to try at the university is run so outstandingly well, support for students is extensive, course content is interesting and meaningful, student life is surprisingly good considering it's location in a small town
It is a good uni to study at with good facilities and teaching staff. However, it is very hard to get support as you never know who to contact and I find that it is difficult to connect with people here.
- plenty of study spaces - subsidised prices in library cafe and union bar - location into town is not to far - student support is strong - sport and gym facilities are great - some accommodations are abit dated
It’s a great place to study because the support is very good, the facilities are state of the art and the teaching quality is very high. The campus is lovely and there is always something to get involved in on campus. Improvements that could be made: a few more things in the student union/ a bigger union and maybe a second library as there is only one library for all the students.
Such an amazing campus, everything is within reach and promotes a positive environment and mindset, plenty of nature and facilities to stay active. The engineering part of campus is well integrated together promoting group and inter course working. The course itself is also very well structured, everything we learn has a concrete impact on our industrial knowledge and understanding, consistently linking back to the automotive industry.
Has a lot of nice communal areas to meet up and study, Could be improved by lower tuition
a lot of free space to study for all different moods - loud or quiet. more sockets would be good to charge laptops
The community and support is great, I love campus living and the student areas and housing. The teaching and staff in Geography are amazing. I would say that sports clubs and opportunities to us facilities should be widely accessible to non-elite athletes.
Loughborough uni has so many great societies to join and many that you wouldn’t even think of - like the creative writing society or the medieval society. They have opportunities for casual, playfully competitive and properly competitive sport and amazing facilities which are free to book. They have a ton of computers to use which is useful to me since I don’t have my own. The campus is lovely to walk through and makes me feel very safe to walk around it at night. The downsides are it’s kinda a quiet town (though I like that) and the uni is about 30 minutes walk from town centre where the shops are. Student services can also be slow even though they are lovely once you actually meet them.
Lots of sports activities, and the small campus is really easy to access. Being in a small town means that you live near all your friends, even in second year
Halls are all amazing and facilities and teaching is great. Not much to do in town.
Nice green campus
The campus is amazing and there’s so much to do outside of your degree. They really help you to get experience for your CV and there’s opportunities for everyone to get involved with something they enjoy.
best- such a lovely community and the campus is absolutely fantastic with so many opportunities to get involved worst - it’s not in the best location as the town is small but the campus is a mini town in itself so makes up for it
It is great university with world class sports facilities. The student services are really helpful and support you well through your studies.
The best aspect is definitely the sport and associated facilities. Everyone is nice and welcoming and there is a great social life. The teaching is also very good, not unbelievable or excellent but very good. The worst aspect would be the location which can't really be helped as the town isn't great although the campus is really nice.
Everyone at the university seems very respectful, but the British flags across the town can be somewhat uncomfortable.
There is a shuttle bus for travelling in campus between the east side and west side. They should give more buffer time for travelling in campus before next lecture
The community and “vibe” of the campus is second to none. It has such a bustling, safe feeling 24/7. The only small downside is it’s so big it can take a while to get to and from some places, but that’s what the campus shuttle is for!
4.5
The campus, buildings are nice, lots of societies but I just have not had a good experience here at all. Mental health services not up to standard.
My course is all in person, labs are good but few. Lecturers a lot of the time not very good at explaining concepts or guidance on exams/coursework A lot of the time what they teach you and the problem sheets they give are extremely different to the exams set, they have a habit of not telling us what to expect in the exam. Some don’t even release past papers, no reason given!
Good location as it’s close to student union. Bit far if your lectures are in west park though. Rooms are quite nice and so is the area that the halls are in, quite quiet. Far too few laundry services though for almost 400 people
