Coming to Loughborough has been the best decision of my life, not only did I make lifelong friends, but I met my partner of 11 months there. It is such a lovely place to be.

Lovely place, find my course is unorganised and possessed rude and unhelpful lecturers. Also the History course was more politics and IR than history at times.

Amazing campus and very welcoming, but not much to do outside the university campus. I found it quite restricting and couldn’t enjoy myself as much as I would if closer to a city. While the campus is great, there isn’t much good nightlife and the same for in the town.

Good university with great facilities provided you are not on a course that is part of the school of Arts, English and Drama which clearly gets no attention in terms of funding as its always the last department to get new facilities (also if you're doing fine art/graphic design be prepared to spend a lot of money on materials such as Adobe software/clay/inks/paper as the uni doesn't provide them for free) and is basically not cared about enough to advertise/promote on social media. If you're interested in studying anything else though its wonderful from what I hear.

Stunning campus with one of the best student unions in the UK. Hall culture adds to the experience and allows everyone to get involved in sports, volunteering along with other sections. Lecturers have a passion for what they teach which makes lectures engaging and enjoyable. Overall, a great experience which I do not believe I would get elsewhere.

The most welcoming place ever, fresher year is incredible you are really looked after and by other students so they can relate! The transition to independence is smooth you don’t feel like you’ve been thrown in the deep end. The campus helps this as you have all your friends around you and all halls are walking distance and you have a committee and then you gain more independence by getting a house next year. Overall 10/10 experience

The campus is rather pretty and green. The flowers and blossom in spring is a bonus. All the facilities are on the actual campus ( very convenient ) but I would recommend to make sure you leave the campus every so often... otherwise it can feel claustrophobic. I don't really go out that much to the student Union but from what I can tell it's ok. the nightlife in Loughborough isn't exactly "legendary". Something I would like to make clear is how the university has treated me like family. They supported me when I was going through some difficult life experiences and accommodated them in my studies. On my course, architecture, the tutors have been exemplary in regards to supporting me. Obviously if you like sports Loughborough's great for that. One thing it's not great for though is reliable Wi-Fi on my phone but the wired internet is pretty good. 100mbs up/down with a ping of ≈4ms It's quite a well layered university and can cater to many individuals.

ordered a quiet room, neighbour been playing loud music at night 5-6 days a week for the past 7 months and nothing of value has been done to stop him apart from "don't do it again johnny! you naughty boy!" at least most module lecturers are great, but living on campus is a gamble I will never be willing to make again. Few too many exams were taken on sleepless nights.

If you are a free-thinking, creative individual, this university is not for you. Full of jocks and individuals who’s only salvation of their week is a night in the student’s union. An atmosphere full of intense toxic masculinity and hypocrisy. However, if you love sports, lad-culture and drinking.... this is the university for you beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I really enjoyed my time at Loughborough University! Despite thinking I didn't want catered halls when I first visited at the Open Day, staying in Towers Hall was the best experience and it definitely helped me to integrate into the #LboroFamily quickly. There's lots to do on campus, and if you ever get bored, big cities are not far away on the train.

Honestly a very very poor experience of a university. More of a school than a university, with poor teaching staff and academic facilities. The sports facilities look good, though limited. For example, you can only use Powerbase gym at certain times of the day/week, even though you are paying a lot of money for a university priced gym. My accommodation too was terrible; small, falling apart and extortionately priced. I wouldn't recommend this university.

My time at Loughborough Uni has been the best 4 years of my life. Coming to university a few years late was daunting but I have never looked back. Halls in first year allowed me to really get involved with events and make friends from all courses. My course (Graphics and Illustration) has been hard work, but the tutors are so supportive and inspiring. All clubs and societies are exceptional, tasters sessions really allow you to try new things. The campus is my favourite part of my uni experience, it really is beautiful, safe and has everything you’d need. I love the energy around campus everyday and the family feel. Lboro town is not huge but has the necessities for shopping, drinks, food, cinema or a game of laser quest. The opportunities to work at university really open doors and allow for part time money income. Erasmus also helped me massively financially when working abroad in my placement year. I’m approaching graduation, I’ll be sad to leave lboro, the uni and the people.

Its an awesome University and plenty to do - but its a single site campus so if you are looking for a bigger city, this maybe isn't the place for you. Loughborough was my insurance and I am pleased I came, but I coming from a small town myself, it would have been nice to enjoy a bigger city vibe. Needless to say, Nottingham and Leicester are nearby so I have enjoyed visiting these two when I can.

Initially I was overwhelmed by Loughborough - the people, the sheer amount clubs and societies, the sporting prowess donned in the African violet .. but everyone is so welcoming that it took me no time at all to settle in. I quickly found my home within the Students Union, making the most of my free time volunteering for Soup Kitchen and projects with the Elderly as well as joining three societies (Christian Union, LSU Sing and Shakespeare Society). I made friends quickly and discovered that I really never wanted to leave the campus for the fear of missing out. Now well into my first year, I am thoroughly enjoying life at Loughborough and feel I have made the best decision.

5* experience and a 5* University. I am thoroughly enjoying my experience at Loughborough and I just wish that it never had to end! My typical day differs from IMS Hockey, to LSU Yoga classes, to dog walking for the local dog shelter to a fancy dress social for my hall. I am always busy and constantly being offered opportunities to develop myself and grow as a person. For example, I am also a Student Ambassador for Loughborough which is a casual role that helps me inspire other students to think about this university and HE as a whole. Through Loughborough, I have gained so much confidence and am now comfortable public speaking and communicating with large groups - something I was terrified of doing before. Loughborough has made me who I am today and prepared me for the world.

Loughborough University is situated in the East Midlands and is one of the largest single site campuses in the U.K. When I was looking at my University choices, Loughborough was the only one where I felt home - I liked the atmosphere from my first visit and students on Open Days seemed passionate and proud to be a part of it here. Now it my third year studying in the Business School, I am glad I made the decision to come here. I am excited to be part of the Loughborough experience and am pleased with the progress I have made towards my career goals - with the support from an amazing careers service and placement team in my department. Still unsure? Just look at #LboroFamily on twitter and see the THOUSANDS of tweets about this experience.

If I would summarise my Loughborough experience in one work it would be unforgettable - I made unforgettable friendships, had unforgettable nights out, took part in unforgettable challenges with Rag and Action and had three unforgettable years studying for a degree I am proud of. Loughborough has an ethos where the students are the heart of the University and that is apparent from the way that the Vice Chancellor knows your name and will greet you like an old friend. We are support in our learning and given a voice to make changes where we feel necessary. I am able to celebrate my faith here, be a proud LGBT woman and enjoy all the things that are important to me whilst getting an award winning education. Loughborough will always have a place in my heart and for anyone waiting to start their university journey ... just go to Loughborough.

Much of what was learnt on the course I never used when I was employed within the sports industry. Work placement support for Sports Technology students was non existent. TLDR: It's very difficult to actually secure a job withing the sports industry. Those who did were mostly those who achieved at least a 1st. Although employment rates may be high, they fail to inform you that most graduates after studying Sports Technology, are not employed within the sports industry. Over half of my class ended up in completely different careers. I think this is mostly due to the sports industry being very competitive. Even with work placement experience within the sports industry, wouldn't necessarily be enough to secure you a job within the sports sector. Even for entry/graduate levels roles, I have seen job specifications requesting at least 1/2 years working experience, which is quite ridiculous.

Loughborough come with a community atmosphere where you feel connected to everyone. It has a very friendly and respectful culture which makes students feel they are part of a family. I think this drives students to achieve more, especially when it comes to improving society. There's so much to get involved in, that I wasn't done exploring even after 5 years of studying at Loughborough. I have to say, it was the best 5 years of my life.

Loughborough has truly become my home away from home and I could not be more in love with a place. It has given me so many opportunities to develop as a person, so much more than I ever expected, and I could not be more grateful to an institution for the incredibly life-changing experience. I am a stranger to the person that I came to university as three years ago, and I could not be more comfortable in my own skin now and proud to be who I am, and it is Loughborough and its student experience that has done that for me!

Loughborough University cultivates an incredible atmosphere, the campus motivates you to succeed in whatever you desire and those around you inspire you to work harder than ever before. The small pocket in the East Midlands becomes a bubble and soon enough is a home away from home, no matter where you're from. The opportunities are endless, the friendships are lifelong and the experience is unforgettable.

I couldn't have wished for a better place to live and study for three years. Loughborough has the most beautiful, green, campus to live and study on, with something always going on and a real sense of community throughout the entire university. Staff took a genuine interest in both my academic and personal development and the lecturers in my department took the time to get to know students as individuals. I felt safe and cared for during my time at the university, and support was widely advertised for those who needed it. You couldn't help but get involved with something outside of your studies and everywhere I went I found supportive and caring individuals. I loved my time spent at Loughborough because I felt as though people at the university cared about my successes and welfare instead of just what I could contribute to University statistics and tables.

Facilities generally good although some lecture theatres and buildings outdated. Clubs and societies good, often seem inaccessible once freshers is over though. Union generally okay despite a few really upsetting and stressful nights e.g refreshers fnd that mared my experience of the union. Difficult to see how the union can justify entry price increases when it is clear they are already allowing for more entry than sensible capacity. Security for the union often seem immature, in experienced and unequipped to deal with situations. I saw two security throwing metal railings with little regard to student safety during returners fnd. Also in the union I have seen a number of occasions where there have been fights or punches thrown where security have done very little to intervene despite having noticed the incidents. Overall the price, lax security and evident extortion of the fact that the union is the largest club in Loughborough has ruined it as a social space.

Lovely campus, loads of green, nice buildings, access to computers etc. Internet all over campus works well 90% of the time. If you’re in your room an Ethernet cable would help if the internet does go down. Union does try to cater for everyone and hosts a range of events and is also useful in the day time (for food, rag, action etc.) Careers fairs, especially the autumn fair is very good (was the biggest in the UK) chance to get freebies, speak to employers even when you’re in first year! Opportunities for internships, jobs, placements etc. Loads of societies on campus just find what suits you or start your own - maybe try to speak to members before committing to paying for membership.
