Loughborough University

The union is absolutely amazing, freshers week events were original and not one day was the same, probably the most fun I’ve had in university!!

Move in was so smooth someone was always there to make sure we don't get lost all committe members nicely introduced them self and their role and how it works for their halls ! The party's were too good ! Just too much hatred for other halls that's I don't appreciate

Got a very warm welcome from Loughborough university during the move in and settled down very comfortably. Freshers' was extremely enjoyable and created memories never to be forgotten.

Loughborough freshers was the most amazing twelve days of my life. All of the halls have specifi freshers themes so from the minute your parents drop you off there a team of dedicated fresher helper to help you move in and then give you the best freshers experience in the county. From nights out to sober movie nights to pub quizzes there is something for everyone. Also a really useful tour around the town in your first week.

If you love and American style university atomosohere you’ll love Loughborough and it’s freshers week is no different. You and your hall mates will battle it out throughout the week against other halls. This all leads to one big sing off at the end which determines who’s the king.

Way better than you could imagine! Literally non stop, plus it's 2 weeks long and there's a refreshers mud way through the year

Organisation was great and events were a great way to meet new friends and get an idea of campus life. There was something for everyone's music taste which was refreshing and everything was cheap which helped everyone get involved

Amazing committee members and fresher helpers organised two weeks of really great fun, mixing us up with other blocks in our hall to socialise.

It's a 2 week longs freshers! Most days are involving daytime events and nighttime. A great time to get to know your halls and settle into university! There are plenty of ice breaker activities and you are sure to make plenty of new friends if you get stuck in!

When you move in there a loads of students to help you carry your luggage and they'll show you around the hall and take you to outside your room. They answer any initial questions you may have and will chat to your parents also. It's good because you already know a friendly face from the get go. I stayed in Towers hall, each hall will organise their own freshers. Towers freshers is organised way in advance by the social secs of the committee so it's super organised and safe. The acitivities include day time ones as well as at night and then at the end there is freshers ball, which is the best part in my opinion bc everyone gets dolled up. You pree with your whole floor so you get to know everyone quite quickly, you don't have to go out if you don't want to e.g. If you're exhausted or if you don't feel well etc. Overall my advice would be to be open to all the opportunities, and different types of people. Do not judge people on first impression, people are nervous and you don't know their story yet give them a chance. If you want to try out for sports there's a sports fair, make sure you ask them when they have try outs for whatever sport you want so you don't miss them. If your freshers don't go as well as you hoped then don't worry there's plenty more time to find your people. Enjoy first year!

Felt very welcome on arrival and met all of my new flat mates as soon as I arrive. Freshers week was very well organised with lots of events happening on each day that involved everyone with lots of different activities. I met lots of new people from all over the university and have stayed friends ever since.

After being very nervous arriving at loughborough for day 1 it was about 5 minutes before I felt completely at home. Met everyone in my block and we were a family almost instantly. They aren't lying when they say Freshers is one of of not the best times of your uni life.
