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.
We're delighted to hear that you've had such a great experience whilst stufying with us!
Some of my best memories are from here! Truly a world class uni
We're glad to hear that you had such a great time! Thank you for this review! Tendo
I mean it's a great uni until you need them to do any admin for you, especially with the engineering schools.
Hi We're sorry to hear that this was your experience with us. We're always looking for ways to improve so if you've got the time, we'd appreciate you sharing more of your feedback with us at emailus@lboro.ac.uk Tendo
An amazing uni with so many opportunities outside studying for your degree
Hi vezbenson Thank you for this great review! Tendo
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.
Hi We're sorry to hear that you felt this way about your course. Each year we try to improve the way all of our courses are delivered and we manage this through our module feedback portal that is completed by our students at the end of each semester. If you do have any queries relating to how this works then please contact studentsurverys@lboro.ac.uk Tendo
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.
Hi 1srburnett Thank you for this review, we're delighted to heat that you found our campus environment very welcoming! There are many initiatives that are being put in place in the town of Loughborough to make it a place that people would want to come and visit, this includes the introduction of new shops and restaurants/bars! Be sure to come back and visit when you get the chance! #lborofamily Tendo
Being an international student, Loughborough University exceeded my expectations. I feel at home and no wonder it is The Times’ University of the year
Thank you so much for the review. We're glad that whilst studying as an international student you still felt at home! Tendo
You’ll never go a day without finding something to do. Very welcoming and loving environment to say the least.

Great campus, great family. Good courses and extra curricular activities.

No uni gets close to Loughborough. Fantastic facilities, teaching, and hall life to name a few. The best years of my life and many will agree

Amazing experience! The union, careers network, sporting facilities are just a few things that are outstanding at Loughborough.
Hi member641554 Great to see you had a wide experience of what campus has to offer! Tendo
My uni are so supportive and provide the best experience. Our campus based uni has helped me get a placement job with modules created for getting a job.
it’s a campus university so there is a sense of a community
Hi alonn We're glad to hear that you enjoyed being part of the #LboroFamily! Tendo
Very warm and welcoming staff who care for the students. Great correspondence and I was kept up to date with relevant information from start to finish.
Fantastic university the best 4 years of my life, highly recommend.
Hi member1241466 We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic time studying at Loughborough University Tendo
Great uni for academic, union and main university cover up a lot of controversies

Hi member1141413 We're delighted to hear that your experience studying at Loughborough University has so far exceeded your expectations! Tendo
Just finished first year and it's great! Lecturers and all staff in general are very helpful. Accommodation is great too. Brilliant facilities all over the uni, especially powerbase gym!!
Hi, Thanks for your review! We loved hearing that you had a great first year, and took advantage of our wonderful sports facilities. -Priya
Loughborough is one of the best universities, never seen such an amazing campus; the staff are so helpful and the union is incredible!!
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.
Hi, Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that you felt this way. Please contact emailus@lboro.ac.uk, if you’d like to discuss this further. -Priya
Brilliant university, don’t regret a thing
Hi member941389 We're glad to hear that you don't regret your decision to study with us and that you're enjoying your experience at Loughborough University! Tendo
Absolutely love it! There’s not one student on campus that doesn’t think this place is brilliant.
Amazing sports and societies for a range of interests. Facilities are very good and lots of green space all around the campus
Great campus, could be somewhere better for the graduation ceremony.
My experience hasn’t been amazing! I have loved every minute at university with so much going on on campus you never get bored and there are always people around
Hi member441343 We're delighted to hear that there was always somthing for you to do whilst studying at University! Tendo
The best uni in the world for sport and the rest.
Hi kaneo88 Thanks for the review! Did you know that 12 of GB's 67 medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics were won by Loughborough University athletes?? Tendo
Loughborough University lives up to its reputation, facilities are unbelievable for all aspects, whether that’s academic use or sporting use, the standard of learning is high and to top it all off the campus is beautiful, would recommend it to anyone that is considering it!
Only just finished first yeah but it was the best year of my life
Hi SamBranney Thanks for the review! I'm sure you'll find that the years to follow will be even better! Tendo
The uni only cares about reputation and how much money they can make out of specific sports.
Hi member1341257 Thanks for your review. I'm really sorry to hear that you feel this way. It would be great to find out more about your experience in halls so we can try and make improvements for future students. If you've got time to share your feedback with us, please contact us at emailus@lboro.ac.uk Thanks Tendo
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.
University is amazing!!! Extremely impressed with the amount of societies and clubs and I adored the union and the offers it presented during first year.
Hi member641249 Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear that you found what worked for you whilst studying at Loughborough University! Tendo
The university has an amazing students union. All the halls are amazing at organising activities and events. There’s always a sports match to watch. Facilities are great
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
Hi member441226 Thank you for the review. Its great to hear that you enjoyed your experience being part of the #LboroFamily Tendo
Amazing place to go- family feels
Hi member941206 We're delighted to hear you felt welcomed to be part of the #LboroFamily! Tendo
A fantastic campus university with a wonderful family atmosphere offering everything any student would need. Facilities ✅. Union ✅.
Hi member1041176 We're delighted to hear that your needs were met whilst studying at Loughborough University! Tendo
A true home away from home, somewhere that will always hold a special place in my heart, where friends turned into family , lecturers into friends and somewhere you’re accepted as an individual
Hi SLA How great to see you felt at home whilst being a part of the #LboroFamily! Thank you for the review! Tendo
There is so much opportunity at Lboro, things to cater for everyone’s interests, the support available and careers service is also good, opportunities to work for the uni and fit it around study is also very good, I love that everything is on one campus and easily reachable, the all round uni experience is amazing. academically strong with amazing teaching and facilities.
Hi member641158 Thank you for this amazing review! We're glad to hear that you had such a great experience studying at Loughborough University Tendo

Hi Christina19988 We're delighted to hear that you love being a part of the #LboroFamily! Tendo
It’s the loughborough bubble, you forget about everything outside during term time and probably won’t want to leave
Great people, warm community vibe, perfect student town location.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - we really appreciate it! We're glad to hear you feel that the #LboroFamily has a warm community vibe to it!- Priya
Eduroam isn’t great but oh well
We're sorry to hear that you've had this experience with our Wi-Fi network. The good news is that the University has invested £3million into upgrading the cross-campus Wi-F - so you should see improvements. However, you can always pop into our PC clinic, based in the library, to get support and advice on your personal devices. (It's open seven days a week during term time!)- Priya
I love Loughborough university and would never change it for the world
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it. We're also incredibly pleased to hear that you love the University as much as we do!- Priya
The campus has everything I need, being a good location and distance from town. I've been involved in various sections such as Action and Sports.
Thanks for the lovely review! We're pleased to hear that you like it here at Loughborough University. Did you know that our East Midlands-based campus was voted as 'One of the Nation's Best Green Spaces' (Green Flag Awards 2018/19)? - Priya
Overall, Loughborough compared to other universities I’ve visited is like a whole new world with the best facilities, student experience and people around to help
Hi there - thanks for the great review! We pleased to hear that you feel like you've had the best student experience - it's what we aim to provide! In fact, we were voted as having the Best Student Experience in the UK (Times Higher Education Survey 2018). - Priya
Loughborough is a great university with fantastic facilities I make use of everyday. The clubs can be quite expensive and wifi could be improved
Hi! Thanks for leaving a review. We're pleased that you like our facilities! The pricing of clubs can vary from one to another, as it depends on the equipment required for certain activities. That being said, we have a range of clubs & societies to suit different budgets - these can be viewed here. In regard to the WiFi - the University has invested £3million into upgrading the Wi-Fi network across campus, so you should see some improvements here. Alternatively, we do have a PC Clinic, based in the library, that offers free support and advice for personal devices. It's open seven days a week during term time too! - Priya
Best decision i ever made to come here.
Hi there - that's brilliant news! We love that you enjoy being a part of the #LboroFamily!- Priya
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.
Hi there, thanks for leaving a review! We think it's great that you love our campus. Did you know that our campus is the same size as 250 football pitches? - Priya
It's a top uni. I've visited friends at other universities and the experience at Loughborough is hands-down the best. The SU is especially good, although wifi in the union is sketchy!
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We love to hear about our students' experiences! You can find out more ways to get involved with the union here. In regards to the Wi-Fi, the University has invested £3m in upgrading the Wi-Fi network on campus - so some improvement should be seen. - Priya
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.
Hi there, really sorry to hear that you have had this experience. Should you wish to discuss this further, please contact emailus@lboro.ac.uk, and we can put you in touch with the right people. - Priya
Amazing societies! Halls not always that welcoming but it depends on your luck, some are lush, but overpriced.
enjoyed my time at Loughborough
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.
Hi there. At Loughborough, we try our best to cultivate an environment of inclusivity, we're sorry to hear that you feel your experience did not live up to this. If you wish to discuss your concerns further, please get in touch via emailus@lboro.ac.uk.
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.
I had an amazing time at Loughborough University. It was one of the best experiences of my life! The Union has so many different things you can get involved with whether that is sport, societies, volunteering or fundraising. I would recommend this University to anyone!
Thanks for the feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your time here. You can take a look at all the ways you can get involved with the Alumni Association here. - Priya
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.
We're sorry to hear you feel that there have been issues with your experience. If you contact us via emailus@lboro.ac.uk, we'll be happy to discuss your concerns further. Powerbase gym is where our elite athletes train and does have restricted access at certain times as listed here on the website. There is also the Holywell Fitness Centre on campus, offering unrestricted access during opening hours that might be more suitable for those looking for more flexibility with access hours. - Priya
For now, I am enjoying the Uni very much
Hi, thanks for the review. We're really pleased to hear that you're enjoying your time here!
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.
Hi there, thanks for the lovely review. We're genuinely happy to hear that you enjoyed your time here so much. The good news is that you can still be a part of the LboroFamily long after you've graduated. Find out how to get involved with our Alumni Association here.
Fantastic student experience. Very supportive atmosphere.
I have had the best first year at loughborough, every aspect of the University is better then I expected.
Hi there, thanks for leaving a review. We're pleased to hear that you're settling in well! -Priya
Had the best years of my life here, couldn't ask for any more
Hello! Thanks for leaving a review, we're really glad that you had such a good time at Loughborough. The good news is that you can continue to be a part of the #LboroFamily even after you've graduated, check out the alumni website to see how you can keep in touch. -Priya
The apartment is incredibly spacious , with a great layout. The service is brilliant, all faults reported are attended to ASAP, and if they require an external contractor to do the work, you will be informed regarding the delay. It was overall, a wonderful student living experience
Hi. Thanks for leaving a review. We're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed living in student accommodation here at Loughborough. - Priya
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.
Hi there. Thanks for leaving a review. We're really glad that you got involved here at the University. Loughborough is a small town, but as you said, there's lots of stuff to do here - on and off campus. We have excellent transport links too, so you can get the most out of the nearby cities when you're here! -Priya
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.
Hi, thanks for the review. We're excited about all of the ways that students can get involved here at Loughborough, and we're really glad that you've settled in! You can read more about the ways that you can get involved here - if you aren't too busy! - Priya
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.
Hello! Thanks for the review. We're really happy that you're taking advantage of all the opportunities that Loughborough has to offer. We hope that you continue to have a great time here. - Priya
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.
Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We love that you've had such a great time here. Loughborough always endeavours to make sure that our students feel safe, secure and at home on campus. You can read more about the steps we take to ensure this here. - Priya
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.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to post such a heartfelt review. One thing that we pride ourselves on here at Loughborough is our inclusive community. We're glad that students, like yourself, can come to the campus and find spaces where they are comfortable to be themselves. You can read more about our efforts to ensure that Loughborough University is as inclusive as possible here. - Priya
My experience here was fantastic and I can highly recommend this institution.
Loughborough University is a top-class University full of student opportunities, career development and lifetime friends and family. I am an alumni now but still thankful for the education I had at Loughborough that made me who I am today.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're really glad that you had such a good time here. The good news is that you can still be a part of the LboroFamily as an alumnus! There's more information on getting involved here.- Priya
Loughborough University has been an amazing experience so far. I have made great friends and I find my course incredibly interesting. Loughborough has been transformative for me, and I'm very glad that I made the decision to come here.

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.
Hi, A full range of services is offered to graduates within 3-years of graduation including appointments, events and careers fairs. After 3 years graduates can still access our online resources, view our vacancies and attend our events. The Sports industry can indeed be highly competitive, but the breadth of knowledge and skills developed by students studying the Sports Technology programme should enable graduates to move into roles related to their course or other suitable opportunities after graduation. If you would like further advice and support to help you move forward then please get in touch or visit our dedicated webpage for graduates.- Priya
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.
Hi Verel, thanks for your review! We love that our students feel at home here at Loughborough. It's perhaps one of the reasons that we were voted the UK's Best Campus this year! - Priya
I have started my part-time course a couple of years ago. The modules have been delivered on a 1-weekly basis. Pretty good!
Wi-Fi sometimes cuts out, but that's Eduroam for you...
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!
Thanks so much for your great feedback! We're so pleased to hear that your time at Loughborough has been so transformative for you. We're very proud of the student experience that we have been able to cultivate at Loughborough. You can read more about the top-rated student experience that we offer here. - Priya

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.

The best Uni in the country but the wifi isnt the best
Hi there, thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that you've had issues with the WiFi, feel free to leave your feedback for IT Support, here.If you are in halls, I would suggest getting a wired connection to HallNet (ethernet cable) as this is a lot faster. You can read more about this here.- Priya
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.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're so pleased that our students feel supported during their time at Loughborough. We're also very glad that you felt that our staff were very involved! It may not surprise you that the University has been awarded Gold, the top accolade, in the national Teaching Excellence Framework, you can find out more about this here. - Priya
Loughborough campus has everything you could ever need as a student and is truly like a home to the majority of its' students. The Students' Union, clubs and societies are like no other amd there's always something to get involved with, whether that's student media, fundraising, volunteering, sports, nights out and much much more!
Thanks for taking time to leave a review! We're happy to hear that Loughborough feels like home for you. You can find out more about the facilities that we offer on campus here.
Loughborough University is a truly top class University - I have been here little over a month and already have fallen in love with the place. There are not many Universities where you know the Vice Chancellor on first name terms!
Thanks for the great review! We're really glad that you're enjoying your time here at Loughborough so far. It may not surprise you to note that Loughborough University offers a 1st class student experience, as voted by our students. We hope that your time here continues to be just as enjoyable.
It's a bubble I never want to pop
Fantastic campus with a lot of green spaces
Thanks for your feedback. We're so glad you liked it here at Loughborough. If you haven't already heard, our our campus was voted #1 for quality of facilities nationally.
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.
We're sorry to hear about your experiences with the Union. If you email us at emailus@lboro.ac.uk and write down your complaints in detail, we can pass them on to the Union to help them improve. Thanks, Alex

Best student experience 9/11 years of it being an award. BUCS? 37/37 years! Welfare of students is a priority that is great! The campus is buzzing and is a very sociable accepting place

It's given me so many opportunities to do things I've never tried! It's made me more confident
Loughborough is a fantastic university, great campus and facilities, and a great social atmosphere
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.
Thank you for your review! I'm really glad that you're enjoying your time here. If you were interested in joining a society the best option is 100% to talk to a member of committee. They'll be more than happy to tell you everything you need to know. Thanks, Alex
Quality university, focus heavily on halls and hall participation is pushed. Facilities, both sporting and academic are really good.
We're happy that you had such a good experience. Thank you for your review. We were named the 'World's Best Sporting University' this year!
Difficult to make a review on the careers service as yet to really use it, but the students union is excellent both day and night.
Thanks for taking your time to leave feedback. We're really proud of our Students' Union, and the fact that it has been rated the best in the UK. You can make use of the Careers Service at any point during your degree, and you can also still use it once you've graduated!
