Sort:Latest reviewsThe best experience had been the community involvement, with many fairs and extra-curricular activities to get involved in. The campus is easy to navigate, either walking or on the Sprint (bus). The sporting facilities are world-class and the campus has many spaces for studying comfortably. The nightlight is enjoyable - make the most of Freshers! The Student Support Team are brilliant for anyone needing support, regarding lectures, mental health or disabilities.
Best aspect is the community and how people are really competitve and want to work together for the bettering of the community. Worst aspect is some of the unrefurbished buildings which are next in line to be refurbished. Some of the processes that students have to go through at the university.
Learning the industry leading course, applies to the real word.
Loughborough is incredible for sports facilities and opportunities, and being involved in AU karate is one of my favourite parts of uni life. All of the societies in general are great, and there are so many to choose from. Loughborough is a student town but there's not a lot going on. The union and societies try to combat that at the uni, but in the town, there isn't a lot to do, so you sometimes have to travel to Nottingham or Leicester for better events.
Such a lovely campus with really great people. As a commuter, things can sometimes feel exclusive and just aimed towards those living on campus.
Best aspect is the support and the campus. The worst aspect is the nightlife.
Most of my lectures are passionate about the course. It could be massively improved if everyone got a reading week as being a joint honours student I do not. Well being appointment although being urgent was around 2-3 weeks away
Studying at Loughborough makes you incredibly active and happy. The layout of campus means that you can walk everywhere and the sports on offer are world class. Student support is good, but could be better in some areas.

The best aspects are that there’s a really lovely sense of community that I feel you don’t get with other universities. There are usually lots of spaces to study. One of the bad experiences is that there are a few gaps in my course that need better addressing. I have found that the “improvements” that the course leaders have tried to make aren’t good enough. I also don’t like the music at the standard student union club.
student support is crazy good. worst aspects: alot of work to do
The best part of my experience so far has definitely been by able to take part in so many sports. There is such a range of opportunities available to me and it has aloud me to be the best version of myself and be as competitive as possible. I love the lifestyle here and the way the campus is so active every single day of the week. It makes it a great place to live especially for me who lives too far away from my home to go back each weekend. Campus very quickly feels like home. I have met loads of like minded people and have been able to do what I enjoy without feeling pressure to go out on nights out. I think there is a good lifestyle balance. I have really just enjoyed every aspect of my university experience so far but the only thing I am not overly happy about is the fact I am in a catered accommodation. Personally I would have preferred to not be catered purely because the dining hall times often don't work with my training times in the evening. I think if it was a little later or even you could pick up takeaway meals a little earlier it would be much better.
Such a friendly and social place! Everyone here is so nice and polite and everyone is sociable and u can talk to anybody and they will respond as if you have known them all your life. Everybody here is supportive and the facilities are amazing, so much support and opportunities to get involved and everything more!
Best: The university has lots of advanced sports facilities Worst:Bit far from the town, too remote.
The campus environment and atmosphere is so welcoming and homely , it makes it very easy to settle in and enjoy your time here.
Living in halls and playing sport is easily the best part. The worst would be the timetabling, no reading week and not knowing when exams are till a month before.
The facilities are of the highest quality which enable students to have the best experience. I think the sprint buses should run more frequently though.
Great university, so many facilities for sport and study. Great community feel to it with so many social opportunities.
The lecturers are all very clear and concise and the course follows nicely from the A-Level maths syllabus. Living in halls is a definite change, but there is no bad accomodation at Loughborough, and it is all very reasonably priced. The events put on by the student union are frequent, and are easy to book and you can have an amazing time there. Going into town is easy using the cheap bus or by foot, but there is not much to do there, however there is some nice cafes and supermarkets nearby.

Love the university. Don't love their parking policy - and this matters as a commuting mature student who doesn't live in Loughborough or on campus, and has business commitments outside of university.
I'm overall happy with it all. Some PHd students leading the workshops have been a little inexperienced - that's how it's seemed. I know they have to do it to get experience, but when the lead is hesitant it makes the session a little awkward.
