Great uni
At Loughborough the campus is very nice and spacious. With excellent facilities to help do work. However the campus is very large and can take a while to get from one side to the other and the free bus system can be unreliable.
The community is good.
best experience of university- good events organized by the student union such as the fireworks display, good opportunities to improve wellbeing (recreational sports) and learn new skills (gaming through e-sports society or writing through creative writing society) the fun and interactive lectures, encouraging staff and students to rely on. How can my experience be improved- I would like to see more events and socials without drinking alcohol as I cannot partake in that.
The availability of the sports sessions and meeting new people.
The best aspects are the freedoms I get to choose. Both in and out of my course, I feel very independent and capable to choose what I want to do such as sports, study time, social aspects, etc. I think the worst aspect however is the lack of briefing in terms of assessments. My first coursework felt sudden upon me which stressed me out.

Lots of study spaces, great atmosphere on campus
Loughborough is the perfect place for me! The facilities and staff are amazing, the Student’s Union has such a great atmosphere 24/7 and the town feels safe and secure.
Enjoyed living in halls last year and had a really good experience joining university. The university is a train or drive away from a city which means the night life here isn't the best.
Lots of things to do and get involved in Close to a many shops and a town centre Not that many non drinking events put on
I love the environment, the students and the faciitlies available for us. I'd say my worst experience in the uni has been some of the lectures/workshops that have seemed unneccessary.
the facilities are amazing particulary the sports facilities, however it is difficult to do sports casually as every thing is very competitive.
It has been an amazing place to study. So welcoming and the town is a big student village. The staff are always happy to help and I cannot say I’ve felt more at home elsewhere.
The friendly , sociable and welcoming environment. Everyone is so helpful, if you’re unsure of anything , you can just ask ! Lecture’s at Lboro are engaging , interactive and interesting. The campus has a variety of activities and sports to take part in and be part of a community. This gives you motivation to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Nights out and events included in student life , enhances the Loughborough University experience, alongside education you can have fun !
The campus is huge which can be an issue as sometimes you're running from one side of the campus to the next to do things, however there are free campus shuttles which are so handy. They even go off campus!
Great sense of community and sporting community
It is nice and welcoming. There are also many places to do independent studying as well.
I love the library, it’s such a good place to study and I really like how you can choose what sort of noise level you want to study in. Also all of my lecturers have been really helpful and kind. My accommodation is very good too, any problems have been resolved in a timely manner! I can’t really think of the worst aspects, the most inconvenient thing is probably the unpredictability of when the buses are going to arrive but I understand that can’t really be controlled.
Best-campus aesthetic Worst-Accomadation costs


Best aspects are the student support available. The worst is guidance on things such as essay writing
Best aspects are the engaging lectures and approachable lecturers
