Loughborough Student Life
With 440 acres and lots of green spaces to explore on campus, you won’t be lacking things to do with state-of-the-art sports facilities and the Students’ Union nightclub. If you venture off-campus, there are plenty of shops, pubs, bars and restaurants plus local beauty spots to discover.

Nights Out
Loughborough’s Students Union on campus, with a capacity of 4,000 people, hosts loads of events on both weekends and weekday nights and there’s a great turn out across all the years. There are several options in town for bars, clubs and pubs. Leicester and Nottingham are also frequented by Loughborough students as they have a greater variety of entertainment venues.
Shopping

An 18-minute walk from the edge of campus, The Rushes has a Tesco, a Sports Direct, a TK Maxx and an Argos.
Image Credit
If Rushes don’t have it, Carillon might! 20 minutes away from campus on foot, this indoor shopping centre is home to Boots, Topman/shop, WHSmith, New Look, The Body Shop and a few more.
Image Credit
Thursday and Saturdays are Market Days in town so it’s worth popping in to grab some fresh produce and soaking up the atmosphere. Aside from the market stalls, you’ll find a decent number of mainstream shops and independent boutiques.

The nights out in...
The nights out in Loughborough are good when wanting to stay local. It is good for a pub night, and I have had many flat nights out beginning at Wetherspoons before going onto another couple of pubs or a club. It is easy to get an Uber to Nottingham as well for a bigger night out, with many halls going to Bierkeller during freshers week. There are the usual shops such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Lidl and Aldi that are around the town centre and about a 25 minute walk from campus to do weekly shops. There is also a thriving market, a Boots and a couple of clothes shops in the centre itself. Public transport from the Uni campus into town could be more reliable but buses are frequent enough that there will be one within 10 - 20 minutes of waiting. It cost £2 each way to get into the centre so I prefer to walk but it is good when carrying lots of shopping back to accommodation. read more

Sprint buses are the main method of transport between the town and campus, they’re meant to be every 10 minutes but they’re not the most reliable. Easier just to walk. Town isn’t the liveliest but it’s chill, there’s a Nando’s read more

Fairly cheap in the grand scheme. Many choices for supermarkets and general shopping. Lots of fast food available and a few nice restaurants. I prefer nights out at the SU as I feel safer + closer to home. Transport is mediocre. Ok rails link and nation express too. Speedy busses on and off campus very useful read more
The town itself?...
The town itself? I would describe it as 'cute'. It's overflowing with charity shops and small businesses (which I personally love) and there is a market that frequently appears. There are few restaurant chains but local pubs are very popular and have a nice atmosphere. Not many clubs at all so most students rely on the campus student union or travel to nearby towns. This is quite common amongst Loughborough students, so be prepared to travel by bus/train to Leicester or Nottingham frequently for nights out, shopping or other day trips. Costs are relatively low and there's many buses, including the University bus. Overall it's a nice, simple, little town. read more

Its a small town, theres not much to do but is good for first year when you’re still adjusting. Once you're a bit more confident u venture out a bit more but there are some excellent nature reserves and places to eat, just not an amazing amount of choice but if you already come from a small town im sure you'll be fine. Sprinty bus is horrendous no more needs to be said read more

- Mixture of range of shops which vary in price but lots of cheap places - 3/4 night clubs and lots of pubs all over the town, which hold lots of different events - Great bus service that gets you across campus for free and then into town and the train station for only £2 - Trains can easily get you around the country and only 30 mins from the airport. read more

Living in Loughborough during university was delightful and affordable. The cost of living was manageable, with reasonably priced accommodation and daily expenses. Shopping was convenient, with a variety of stores and supermarkets in the friendly town center. Transport was efficient, with reliable buses and trains for easy commuting and travel to nearby cities. Biking was also a popular and eco-friendly option. Overall, Loughborough offered an ideal balance of affordability, convenience, and a welcoming community, greatly enhancing my university experience. read more

A few nice places to eat out e.g pizza express, nandos, peters pizzeria, centre lounge ect nothing particularly special but very nice still. 4 clubs. 2 are awful go in freshers once and never again. The SU is your best night out particularly on a Wednesday. Also have a revs. Pubs are good quality. Griff and jam garden really nice. A few basic shops e.g Next and Waterstones but not for a shopping spree style just enough to build a high street. Public transport unreliable and regularly late better to get Ubers. read more

Living in Loughborough has been a delight! Whether it's hitting the shops for high-street brands or unique finds, there's something for everyone. Plus, the food scene is incredible – from casual eats to fancy restaurants, there are options to suit any budget and taste. The cost of living is surprisingly reasonable, especially considering the excellent amenities. And getting around is a breeze – the public transport system is efficient and affordable. All in all, Loughborough offers a vibrant and friendly atmosphere with something for everyone! read more

The cost of living is hard avoid anywhere in this country unfortunately, so it’s no surprise that some prices have went up. There are lots of eating out places however I have rarely eaten out so I can’t provide a proper review of it. The nights out are hit or miss, it can be busy and enjoyable or quiet and boring. However, the people of Loughborough are amazing so whoever you go out with, you’ll probably have a good time. There’s lots of supermarkets and a big Tesco which will provide you with everything you need. The public transport is spot with cheap buses taking you from within campus to town and the station - absolutely can’t fault it. read more

The town has a friendly, welcoming vibe with a great mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants that cater to all tastes and budgets. There's always something happening, from community events to festivals. The transportation links are really convenient, making it easy to explore nearby cities like Nottingham and Leicester. The green spaces and parks are perfect for relaxing or having a picnic with friends. Plus, the locals are really supportive of students, which makes it feel like a home away from home. Overall, Loughborough is a great place to live, with a perfect balance of vibrant town life and a close-knit community feel. read more

The cost of living isn't too bad- it's more about the silly fees the university charges you that takes a chunk out of your bank account. For example sports memberships, why did I have to buy 3 different memberships to be able to compete? Also the training kit is very expensive for what it is. There aren't many places to eat out, I've only been to eat out once. Night's out are okay you just need to choose your days. Shoping is good- there's an aldi and lidl nearby which is where I do my shopping read more

The cost or living generally isn't any more expensive here than elsewhere. There's a lot of things to do in town, especially lots of little independent shops but also the popular big chains. There is everything you need here. The people are friendly and the nights out at the union are the best ones and they feel the safest too due to security/bag searches. The public transport links to and from the uni are good and there are trains from Loughborough yo surrounding cities like Leicester and Nottingham. read more

Loughborough is relatively quiet with it only being a town (as opposed to a city). But it has everything a student needs and is so close and has good transport links to Leicester and Nottingham. Lots of big supermarket choice and the nights out are great fun if you have a good group of people to go with. Go to the Saturday night social at Echoes!! Its always guaranteed to be a great night. read more

A relatively peaceful small town, everything that's needed is within a reasonable walking distance. Despite its mall size there's plenty of shops and facilities such as gyms to keep you occupied.

Brilliant for a small town in the midlands. Great public transport connections - direct trains to London St Pancras are great Shopping/ eating out / activities are as good if not better than you would expect from such a small town, obviously not going to be the same as a city but very good nonetheless Nights out are great as is majority univeristy students which adds an element of comfort and safety, all clubs a walk away from accommodation so no need to pay for taxis, some would probably complain of a lack of options but 5 night clubs and who knows how many bars and pubs for a relatively small university is more than enough read more

Loughborough is a...
Loughborough is a very decent city, even though some people dislike it. The cost of living is a lot lower than other close cities such as Leicester or Nottingham (not to mention London), and you have plenty of plafes to eat out. Public transport is also good, there is the Sprint going around town every 10 mins (I think) during the week and you also free rides through the uni campus. Yes, you don't have a big menu of choices you can go for a night out, but I feel that it is more than decent, especially if you don't have particular types of preferences (unfortunately I like techno and there is not much happening about this genre). For shopping, again, it is more than decent. If you wanna go to a super big mall, you have Leicester at 20 mins away. read more

Loughborough is a small town indeed. And being a small town there are pros and cons.

It’s a small town, which makes it ideally safer. It has the bare minimum of shops and everything you need. The transport is excellent as the bus goes from campus through town to train station and back. And we have two neighbouring cities to go to if we miss the city vibes read more
Loughborough is v...
Loughborough is very affordable especially when compared to city living. Due to the vast variety of cultures and students in Loughborough, you can easily find a wide range of cuisines at some very tasty places to eat. There is also a good range of supermarkets in walking distance including Sainsburys and Lidl. There is also all the main amenities you need in the town centre including some chain brands such as Waterstones, Primark and Costa. There is great bus links to various locations in and outside of Loughborough as well as the train station just 10 min journey from the university with buses leaving from campus into town and the station. There are also stops for the national express and megabus to locations across the UK making Loughborough very accessible. read more

It's no secret that a market town in Leicestershire is not an ideal place to be a student. Most nights out are held in the students' union, which is better than you thin - whilst there are a couple of clubs in town, they can become a bit grotty... There are a good few pubs in the town centre, including 2 Wetherspoons, shopping is okay - you can typically find what you're after, but don't expect designer outlets. There is a bus service from the campus into town frequently. read more

Night life is not great, and accomodation seems expensive for being a small-ish town. plenty of busses to get around, and a big tesco in town centre makes shopping pretty easy read more
