Sort:Latest reviewsThere is a massive push for looking after student wellbeing so I feel secure in the fact that if I was struggling there would be the necessary support for me. I wish there was a little more interactivity within lectures
Sports facilities are great
Best aspect - you feel part of a diverse family! Everyone is from a different background and from all across the world. It's lovely learning about people's backgrounds, traditions and world foods and I don't feel like the odd one out here because we are all so diverse. The amount of support we have for careers, personal achievements, references, mental health is really good. While uni can feel quite lonely at times, there really are people you can reach out to like the wardens and hall chair members that become friendly faces on campus! Worst aspect - sport is so oversaturated here that if you're not on a team, it's impossible to train. Especially if you play a team sport. There's no opportunity to grow as a player unless you're already insanely good - it leaves no room for those who want to improve to try and get onto a team just to have access to training facilities. Also if you don't have much disposable income, there's no way you can afford the gym here. So it becomes a trade between do I eat this semester or do I go to the gym so I can get some form of training in to help my mental health... it's quite a challenge.
The facilities on campus are amazing. The student union is a great place to hang out in the day or go out to at night. However, Loughborough town its self could be a lot better.
Facilities for everything are top tier, union always have amazing events on
Loughborough University gives a great experience through it's campus and sporting culture.
I love that there are a numerous opportunities to get involved in as a student, ranging from sports, societies, volunteering etc. Loughborough university is great for keeping in contact with us regarding events taking place and also makes it easy to contact them for various things, such as support. One way it could be improved would perhaps be through having weekly meet ups with our tutor group to discuss any issues we might have or general queries.
It's a vibrant campus. I love it so much. There's so many opportunities to do things. I would love to see more new buildings established
Good facility's Not too crowded with people, in a nice sized town has trees and nature and empty space so it doesn't feel cramped and uncomfortable Could be improved by spreading out group course works, so you dont need to coordinate multiple groups too all be regularly meeting simultaniously
the campus is beautiful, the staff and alumi are on it and all round best years of my life
More Support from staff and where to find it such as a card with details on
Loughborough campus is a vibrant and welcoming space. I'm yet to meet someone who isn't super helpful! The variety of socials and opportunities here are so vast you will never run out of things to do or people to meet.
Is really lovely to get more practical work, and the Keith Green Building is my favorite build as I as stay there to work on my models.
The faculties are top-quality, especially for sport, which is useful for my course and is located in a nice area with a good atmosphere, however outside of pubs and clubs the local area does seem to be lacking options for activities and may require additional travel to access this
While being at uni I’ve found it really easy to settle in amazing facilities both sporting and technical (for my graohics course). Great support system, committees in halls makes it easy to get to know people in your first year and make more friends as you go though uni getting involved in committees sports volunteering etc Students union is great currently have a job doing part time graphics amazing opportunity for me.
Such a broad and involved sporting community- but doesn’t take away from the quality of education
Very good campus, struggle to find things to do outside of the university
Good facilities but nothing much to do around campus
The facilities are amazing with many rugby pitches which you can train on with your mates. The location is close to town where there are shops and restaurants however there aren’t many great places for a night out so people end up travelling to Nottingham. You get a personal tutor who checks up on you and you can arrange meetings with if you are struggling or have any questions. The SU has great places to study.
4.5
Loughborough university is unique with an incredible student life. The campus and facilities are world class. There is definitely a buzz to it. The student union club offers some of the best nights. Frequently, bringing guests from house/dnb scene to the su. One thing that could be improved is the library. It is a great place to study however, in exam seasons it’s incredibly busy and sometimes difficult to find a seat. Perhaps an extension or another library at the other end of campus could combat this problem.
So far the course has been interesting, well taught and engaging. Many of the lectures are very interested and passionate about their subject which certainly makes a positive difference. Already we have been on a field trip at no extra cost from tuition fees. Course hours are what to be expected for a first year student. All the modules are taught in person with practicals also.
