Most helpful review

Overall a wonderful place where making friends with your flatmates and everyone else from the Hall is quite easy, as the kitchen area is a perfect place to meet your flatmates and the dinning hall and common room are perfect to meet the rest of the people at the hall.

The best thing about Elvyn is the ensuite. It's so convenient having an ensuite, and it's nice to have a proper sized kitchen despite being catered. I like the fact breakfast isn't included as it allows for a fast breakfast in the morning. The food is tolerable. It's very convenient, however it all kind of tastes the same. I also got very bad food poisoning, so it's important to stay away from the fish.

Overall I had a good time in halls. I think the rooms are spacious enough and are laid out well. The kitchen is great however it might be a good idea to get a deep kitchen clean maybe halfway through the year. I think that the chair in the room is quite uncomfortable, my back and bottom hurt when I sit there for more than an hour which is not ideal when I try to use it for studying. I would try and upgrade the chairs within the rooms. The dining hall is good, the food could be a little better however it is definitely not bad. The common room got closed early on which is unfortunate but it looks to be in good shape now.

Lived in Elvyn Richards for 3 years and loved every day of being there. Getting too expensive for what you get in recent years but good hall community. Common room needs updating and quad could do with some furniture- e.g. better benches with tables perhaps?

On the whole, the accommodation is a good choice. I feel that the location is probably the best factors alongside the property management and cleaning service. However, this year, WIFI connection has been an issue consistently throughout the year. Additionally, the social spaces and social experience hasn't been as good this year compared to last.

Value for money was good in terms of rooms but the food was point blank awful never worth the money and often left me hungry. Location great central to the library, union and lectures, although if studying something where you have lectures in the design school 25 minute walks. Property management good in general but my toilet blocked on a Friday once and I was told nothing could be done until the following tuesday so had no working toilet for 4 days. Common room was shut for most of the year Becasue some idiot broke the table tennis table why that meant no one could use it after we pay extra to specifically use it who knows.

I really enjoyed Elvyn, but just wish there was more social opportunities after freshers. We also unfortunately have not had a common room this year, The rooms are good size and the bathrooms are perfect, if you have a maintenance problem it's normally sorted within 24 hours. Very very good kitchen for being catered 5 days a week, which was a huge plus. If I was to redo first year, I think I would've lived in a more sociable hall but I absolutely loved it here and made life long friends.

My experience in Elvyn Richard’s was far better than I imagined. The food was easily accessible and very convenient for my days of lectures. It was close to all my lectures, sports, library and the bus stop so there wasn’t much that wasn’t within a 10 min walk. I really recommend to any first years.

My stay at Elvyn Richards as a first year student has been quite good. We have an en suite bathroom, and a cosy room that gets regularly cleaned. I met some of my best friends by choosing this hall and so I would say the social life is good especially during the first few weeks. It’s close to the dining hall, common room, laundrette, library and other halls so it’s very convenient. It is quite expensive though, however the catered food is not too bad.

By member10106501 On 14th April 24 verified Verified student

I’ve had a very pleasant experience in Elvyn Richards this year. Having an ensuit bathroom and access to catered meals has relieved a lot of stress that I’m sure most university students are accustomed to in first year. I’ve made some great friends here and made some really great memories. The standard of living here is very good with regular cleaners, not too much noise and nice healthy food options. The only downside to this accommodation id say is the price as we are paying the most out of all accommodations and still got getting some amenities that other accommodations get such as catered breakfast or weekend catering. Regardless to that, If you are fortunate enough to afford this accommodation on a student budget then I would definitely recommend. It’s modern, well equipt and close to all the university facilities you’d need.

Elvyn is a hall that thrives socially and feels very supported with a fantastic committee and warden team available. Any maintenance issues are sorted asap from reporting and there are excellent systems set in place for any issues such as losing keys etc. It is on the pricey side but the environment, facilities, and location make up for that.

I lived in Elvyn for my first year at university and it was the best experience, I met the most amazing and likeminded people (which I live with now ) Elvyn is a very sociable hall. The rooms and facilities at Elvyn are unmatched for a catered accommodation, you have a 4ft bed and your own bathroom which you will be very glad of, if you like your own privacy. As you get to cook for your self at the weekend it prepares you for cooking in the next year if you decide to move out. The food at the canteen is ok....I am vegetarian and there was probably 2-3 options at dinner and 5-6 at lunch. You have a sandwich, salad, soup pasta and mains options throughout the year and ALWAYS desert. I enjoyed the food but some of my flat mates were less keen but always like fish and chips Friday. I know me and all my flat mates would choose Elvyn again if we were given the choice.

Catered Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner means you won’t have to worry about shopping during the week and trying to figure out what you’ll eat in between lectures either. Spacious 4ft beds and a huge desk allow for easy working and comfort too. On-suite bathroom/toilet for quick and easy access when you need it

Elvyn has the perfect location, not only is it in the Village where most other accommodations are but it also has the quad which is a great outdoor social space in the middle of the hall. Elvyn’s socials did well at putting on some good events this year even though COVID restrictions limited some of them.

It is a lovely modern hall, some design issues and a horrible common room but overall a great place due to its location.

Very nice and modern flats and rooms. Very convenient and useful being catered. Can get quite noisy, as all the blocks are located closely together around a small quad, which isn't great when studying or trying to sleep.

It is the best hall at Loughborough! The internet is good although cuts out the odd time (same for all over campus) The common room needs to be put to better use.

Living in elvyn is great, so great I'm hoping to come back next year! Central location is really useful And the rooms are spacious;ore storage than any other hall. I like that it's 10 meals a week by 15 because it means you can get up whatever time and you haven't missed breakfast.

Yes it is the most expensive hall on campus but ... Great hall. Great people. Courtyard brings people together. Ensuite bathrooms and big beds makes paying a premium worth it. Loads of international students around, so socialising becomes more interesting. Catered hall so no more meal deals for lunch and microwave Mac n Cheese for dinner

I've had experiences in this hall that I'll cherish for life! I'm so happy to be in Elvyn Richards, not only are the facilities 2nd to none but the people in the hall are all so friendly and sociable
