Loughborough has the best sporting facilities imaginable, even if you’re not into competing professionally or at a high level. There are lots of incentives to keeps everyone active, from halls competitions in IMS to relaxed girl’s projects such as This Girl Can. Supporting other players brings the main community feel to campus, so everyone enjoys even just watching.

Campus- Amazing campus with homely feel , everything is confined in one place no travelling round a city to point A to B. They call it the Loughborough bubble for a reason everyone is so friendly including lectures. Facility’s- Best student union is the uk , four clubs in one including cocktail bar . Two Co-ops on site so no need to head into town for food. Papa Si’s is the local takeaway on site after a night out , along with the pub and Chinese , Starbucks , Bubble tea and Burrito bar .

Loughborough University is the largest single site campus university in Europe, this makes it feel like a ready built community. When joining Loughborough University your accommodation hall dictates a large amount of your extra curricular activities, for example Royce Halls fresher theme for 2018/2019 was Retro Royce meaning we had themes for nights out such as “back to school”. As well as a brilliant atmosphere Loughborough also provides all its students with unparalleled facilities! As well as a wide range of free and inclusive activities such as sport and art classes. Sport is a huge part of the Loughborough lifestyle, I joined the rowing team, as part of a team you make new friends, attend socials which are both alcohol based e.g. a pub crawl and also sober socials like a meal out. You also enjoy Winter Ball and the end of year AU ball! All the staff are highly knowledgeable and friendly meshing your course is as enjoyable and engaging as possible. Overall I can not recommend Loughborough University highly enough, everything you could ever hope for is provided all you have to do is get stuck in!

Loughborough Uni is an excellent uni, not just for its 5th in the UK status and academic aspect, but in terms of the services is provides to it students and the general atmosphere. Being a campus uni, everything you need is easily accesible, even if you live in the town centre. It's su;ported myself and others with advice of private renting after the first year, and even when you don't live in halls, you never feel alone - the uni makes sure its students are safe and actively reply/check/engage in facebook groups for town based students. The courses are varied and, although the entry requirements have increased slightly, the content can feel challenging but still manageable. Campus facilities are great, with the introduction of a new uni phone application, simply benefits like being able to find free computers across the camus is easier than ever, as wll as confirming lecture attendance. It's a great step up from befrehand and it makes a noticeable difference, but is not without its flaws - like any phone application. The union and its ervices has become more widely known - it's not just somewhere to go for a night out - but actively aims to supprt students across a wide range of issues and lies independant from the uni itself so you never feel like there's a conflict of interest. Having joined in 2014, I'm now in my final semester and my expereince has been fab. I've changed course, suffered with mental illness, created a placement for myself during my year in industry and have had help every step of the way and feel like my Loughborough experience has really helped shape who I am today. I can't speak for what would have happened if I attended a different university, but I'm honestly glad I chose Loughborough and would recommend it to anyone looking to apply.

Great University! They are serious about your academics and are extremely supportive! The campus is beautiful with many sports facilities available. We have a free bus that takes us around campus. The hall of residence are all nice and clean! They are building more too!

Students union is a hive of activity. Boasting 3 clubs for nights out and a gorgeous piazza this is the best union around. With a cafe and munch bar allows students to grab a bite to eat whilst working there betweeen lectures.

This university went above and beyond all my expectations. The halls were amazing, the social life was fantastic and the people I met there will be my friends for life. My course was really broad, with a good mix of being able to select my own modules and set modules. Only issue was accommodation is expensive compared to a lot of what my other friends paid, and being a campus university there is little other choice.

One of the best universities. Very clean and the staff care about you and your well being. The students Union helps you whenever you need anything and provides plenty of support.

Great students life and education. The university has lecture capture, which really helps with reviewing. The sports facilities are top-notch and I have nothing to complain about other than the fact that the east side of campus is far less renovated than the west side.

The campus is feel kept, clean and safe. The sporting facilities are world class and mean there is an ethic on campus to be fit and healthy. My course has world leading lecturers and researchers that are passionate and engaged with the students. The union is busy and a great place for a night our. The careers centre is very helpful and has lots of people so that there is always someone to support you who has experience in your field. There are also carrels fairs throughout the year for different subjects so that you can speak to as many prospective employers as possible to give you the best chance of success. My experience has been very positive.

The campus is lovely, with the oppertunities at this uni so plentiful I've done so much more than I thought I ever would. The halls are lovely with a real community feeling about them, and I've had some of the best weeks of my lives already doing this. I'm so glad I chose to do my degree here.

I am an Engineering student at Loughborough and from my perspective the facilities for all the engineering departments are outstanding, the lecturers are very approachable and knowledgeable and I have never had an issue with any of the ones I have had within my 2 years of university. The nightlife at Loughborough is extremely diverse, there is an opportunity to go out every night of the week whether it is the union, which has 3 clubs, or in town. The union usually has a big appearance every few weeks, whether it be a DJ like Mistajam, RnB artists like B Young, or old school artists like Sean Kingston. As most people know the sport at Loughborough is extremely high class and competitive, any sport you want to play Loughborough has a team for it, even though some clubs are at an extrememly high standard and making the team is very difficult, IMS which is Loughborough's internal league, which Student Halls place against eachother, is a lower standard and anyone can go and play and enjoy the sport. Usually there are even BUCS scouts at the IMS games so if you are performing to club standard they will ask you to tryout for the BUCS team.

Loughborough is a fab uni!! Really great student atmosphere and the halls are similar to an American style campus, with inter-hall competitions and sports all year round! The town is only a short walk from the campus and has a great night life but also a good range of shops. Each cours has a impactful amount of contact hours and you are taught by some really great lecturers. The sports facilities are impeccable and overall it's an incredible university for all students!

The overall experience at this university as been incredible. The tone was set on moving in day where you are met by several very friendly fresher helpers. They make you feel very welcome and give you someone to talk to and find on a night out if you get lost. They were also very good and making my transition from home and school life to university life. Freshers in itself was a great experience, going out with all of your block-mates and the rest of your hall made making new friends very easy indeed. The events themselves were well run and highly enjoyable, even if my memory of it all is a bit hazy.

Everything is close to everything, for example you can be in the middle of town with a 20 minute walk from campus. My course is varied and the lecture taught well, and the student union is always full day and night with a few nice cafes and a co-op to enjoy in the day and a club at night.

The large campus is easy to navigate, with frequent buses running around the whole campus, making it easy to get around. The staff all around campus are always friendly, and provide a safe environment for socialising, studying and playing sports etc..

Course content is very good along with very qualified and knowledgable lecturers. Many of the academics in the civil and engineering department have come from industry and therefore are able to give real life, practical applications and example of theory. University accommodation and learning facilities are modern and renovated on a regular basis. Technology and comfort is continually improved providing a very good learning environment. Situated in a prime location in Loughborough, easy access to town and private rented accommodation off campus. Direct links to East Midlands Airport and London St Pancreas Lovely green campus that encourages sustainability. Halls of residence coincide and are kept to a very good standard. Convenience across campus is excellent. Lboro App and associated online/ printing services is an excellent tool to assist students in managing time and being more productive. Hundreds of societies and clubs on offer for everyone to join, along with excellent clubbing locations with mixed variety of nights out. Overall, a very good experience, one that I would reccomend to anyone
