The experience so far has been absolutely amazing. First term is great to settle in, everyone is so welcoming and frielndly and the uni is like a massive familly. You make friends really easily and people are always there to help you.
I love it! I can’t imagine being anywhere else! Everyone here is so lovely and there’s so much to get involved with! The campus is beautiful (if a bit windy!) and I love my course as well, it’s so interesting!
It's been nothing short of amazing. Very excited to be spending the next few years here. The people this university attracts are all wonderful. What makes Loughborough is the experience and it is one of the best universities to be in as a student.
Incredible never been so happy in my life the people are just nice here and I genuinely haven’t run into someone that I disliked, the Union is loads of fun and very cheep, over all it’s rly good
Enjoyable, busy and engaging. Great personnel, helpful and open to all. No discrimination or disrespectful incidents. Great fitness facilities and courses. 9/10 Would recommend.
Perfect balance between social life and academics. Have made great friends and found societies that interest me and will help me develop as a student in university.
My experience has been amazing, in my university. I am a first year student, until now, I have loved everything, such as the big library it has, which is open 24/7 during exams. This allows the individuals to study at their fullest, and other than that, life is amazing here.
Fine. I question why I chose this university almost every week. Support for transgender students is terrible and we need way better mental health support that isn't provided.
I love being independent. I can do whatever I want whenever I want. Although I had a period half way through semester 1 where I didn’t know who my friends were, I have now fully settled into myself as more confident, more genuine and just happier. I can’t wait to continue learning, pushing myself and making memories with my friends.
It’s been incredible and I love it very much, Loughborough is the perfect place for me and I don’t think any other uni would have suited me better than this!!! The student union and sports are incredible
Amazing. Even if not sporty you still fit in it’s fantastic atmosphere everyone wants to do well and that’s motivating Amazing campus and town wit great courses on offer
Coming to loughborough university was the best decision i could've made. I have had a great time meeting so many new people, learning so much and making great memories! I'm sure the experiences i've had so far will stay with me for a long time and i can't wait to see what the rest of my uni life has in store for me.
Had loads of fun learning and living in Loughborough. Feel like I’m in the exact right place doing exactly the right thing for me. No regrets at all and look forward to every semester
Social side is amazing in towers definitely for people who enjoy a night out, enjoy subject as well.
Loved every second I've had at Lboro. Make sure you bring a bike to get around campus, but if you've got one, don't worry about living far away from where your lectures are, everything is within 10mins. Being able to use the facilities they have here is an opportunity that I have been very grateful for, and if you're interested in sports at all, there's no need to look anywhere else
Very good. Being in hall committee has allowed me to meet so many people and this is a tradition that needs to be protected! Course is good and with constant support when needed I highly recommend
It’s been great, they were welcoming and made it easy to settle in, great facilities and amazing if you like sport. Would recommend the university to anyone thinking of going
Very supportive staff and support team. Lots of help available by tutors during exam time. The union is really popular and a great night out aswell as a nice place to be in the day time.


Everything I have experienced at Loughborough so far is perfect for someone who was initially nervous about leaving home - they make you feel like you are part of a big family. Amazing facilities and opportunities.
Yes brilliant location.
11/10! The amount of different societies and sports is incredible - something for everyone.
