The best aspect of my university experience was the society which I was part of for most of my time in the university. I had the best times of my life as a result of joining this society. The worst experience is the parties I did attend at the beginning of my university experience in first year. Those parties were a waste of time for me!
+ Amazing facilities + Wolfson School is amazing at providing support for getting placements - Certain areas of campus are not as visually appealing - The Student Union could do with being updated
Maybe have more exciting social spaces on campus perhaps in the middle rather than at the top of campus where the union is.
The staff are all passionate about what they do, they're knowledgeable, approachable and their support has been flawless. I've been taught by incredible researchers in great facilities and they've equipped me with the information and skills that helped me gain my graduate job. My experience at Loughborough has been better than I could have imagined
Good campus and opportunities, course should have a greater focus on the pharmaceutical industry and how it works as well as having more flexibility in module choice only two optional modules in 4 years.
Brilliant campus and student experience.
Best - excellent facilities and student experience. Worst - strike action early on had some impact.

Campus is great, although has a couple of old buildings. Great student life and night life. Despite Loughborough is a small town it is very close to Nottingham and Leicester so if you want to go out for a night that’s the option. Great uni, great course, but could improve on refurbishing some buildings on campus
Great campus and student support Good facilities Amazing resources and good location
Accommodation prices are too high!
The lecturing and resources available for students. Especially, within the Bioeng programme having access to almost every facility one way or another. The food prices on campus and when living on campus the limited alternative options for food
Amazing overall experience but with a few caveats. Not enough support for placement students especially if they have trouble while on placement. Not enough dedication is given to the welfare and diversity/EDI sector, constantly feels like students are fighting to keep it going and the uni/union is ready to shut services down whenever possible.
Being on a campus university gives you the comfort of being close to any support you may need and reduces the overwhelming feeling of moving to a new town for university. You are less than a 10 minute walk from anything you could possible need, such as food shops, a gym, a coffee shop etc. Huge modern library with quiet places or sociable places o make studying that bit more enjoyable. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time there and am missing the university life whilst on my year in industry.

Great facilities and great course overall, societies experience great but student union pretty bad.
Great for sport, not great for much else.
Lots to get involved in. Maybe more inclusive feel.


Great facilities Lack of communication
Lecture content not that useful- aren't taught a lot of the aspects of design but are expected to know it Best aspect is the facilities
Good location, nice halls Off campus by about 10 min walk
