The environment and staff are so welcoming and helpful when in a dilemma
loughborough is so good for textiles and theres lots of socials on
Good sports facilities
good uni life and campus
Campus is really open and pleasant. Most lecturers are very invested in providing the best learning experience to you. There are many opportunities to adjust the pace with tutorials and drop-in sessions. There is plenty of practical activities.
Pretty good experience, very welcoming
Loughborough is a complete bubble. Everything is within walking distances and the free campus buses are a fantastic way of getting around campus even quicker. We have exceptional facilities for all subjects and sport. Loughborough sport isn't just there to help the top level athletes, the intermural sports, recreational and social sports all provide the opportunity for activity and new sports to whoever wants to try. The support you receive from your course, disability support or support in find placements has been so useful in helping me make the most out of my time at Loughborough. Improvements that could be made is a wider range of social opportunities on nights out for sober drinkers.
One of the best aspects is staying on campus as it is easier to get to lectures and even the cheapest accommodation option is quite good. The facilities for the engineering courses are quite good especially the STEMLab. There is a maths support building designed to help people with their maths skills and you can pop by without an appointment. The worst aspect would be that supermarkets are a 30 min walk from campus and the wait for the bus in town is long. It takes time to make friends here if you are not the outgoing type so you might feel left out by your flatmates. Overall the education is good so far
Best aspect is the community Worst aspect is the buses
The student support here is great and they help you with anything you need!
A wide range of societies to get involved on and sport for all levels competitive and fun. Great emphasis on the support that the university provides. A quieter town with larger cities nearby. There are multiple nice hikes in the countryside near campus. Loughborough is a quiet and safe town and the campus feels really safe. Great quality of teaching and demanding courses that push you.

Great all round uni with good extra curricular such as sports and societies, as well as a very good course with a lot of available resources. It also has good industry connections and help towards careers, so overall I think it’s a very good uni as far as unis go and I have no complaints
Best. Extra curricula’s activity - formula student Great staff at every level - from support to academics. Worst - facilities look dated but all do the job - sometimes lack of study spaces
Student union is one of the best. Busy during day and night. But the town kinda sucks
great place to study but not much to do in the town, uni makes up for it with loads of activities
Amazing sports and engineering facilities While loughborough doesn't have a great night life it is very close to Nottingham and other big city's that do so I'd say it's the best of both worlds
Really great facilities and student support
