Has been an overall remarkable experience after all.
Thank you for your review :) it's great to hear you've enjoyed your experience here.
Great university for sports courses with incredible sporting facilities as well
Thank you for your review! Great to hear you enjoyed the sports facilities we have on offer here :)
Great uni, with great teaching and facilities for sports and engineering. Some issues with campus WiFi and the attendance app but only minor.
Thank you for your review, it's great to hear you've made the most of our facilities during your time here at Loughborough! Sorry to hear about the app and wifi slight issues, I'll pass this on to IT :)
It’s a wonderful university and I feel like I fit in just fine
Thank you for your review, it's great to hear you're enjoying your time at Loughborough and feel like you're fitting in. We have plenty of socieites here to help everyone find friends with similar interests :)
Loughborough has been an absolute dream for me. The opportunities that I have had access to are unmached, having started societies and being given opportunities to network with leaders in my area. The support that I have received here has been particularly good here, getting our own personal tutor, hall teams, course teams and SU teams, you never feel lost or alone
Thank you for your review! It's brilliant to hear you've enjoyed both the social and academic elements of the University. We also have a dedicated student services team to help with anything you need here at Loughborough.
Loughborough University, where do I start. I have only been here for a year, and I’ve already got so much to say. My very first open day I was engulfed in the sense of community as the Loughborough university students welcomed me. There is not a greater Uni to go than the one where their own students are engaging and enjoying life and now, I am one. As an aspiring scientist, I fell in love with the STEM labs building, with such advanced equipment at hand. There are many facilities here from study spaces, all the way to a swimming pool. Though sport is the heart of Loughborough university, I hated sport and quickly realized that it wasn’t so daunting as I began to enjoy the games hosted and joined AU kickboxing. Though the kitchen space in halls wasn’t enough, I made the most of cooking with my best friend. The Wi-Fi around campus was standard and if we had any issues, IT services were available. Overall, it’s a beautiful campus to be in and provides so much support in so many areas.
It's great to hear you've had such a positive experience here! Thank you for your review :) we're proud of our facilities, especially our STEM lab and sports facilities, so it's great you've been making the most of them.
Loughborough offers an outstanding education but also a great personal and social life too. There is a great sense of pride and community at Loughborough with an opportunity to get involved in something you are passionate about but if we don't have your niche you can set up your own society or sports club! Loughborough also has more than just the standard sport clubs and societies often at most universities, check the websites to see more from the CVA through to the careers network. If you are concerned about the location as we are not a city, do not worry. There is a lot to do and we are only a stone throw from Leicester, Nottingham or Derby and just an hour or two from London.
Thank you for the review, it's brillaint to hear you've had such a positive experience here! For those who are interested, you can find a full list of our societies here.
Great school with helpful lecturers
Thank you for the review :) great to hear you enjoyed the teaching here, we hope you've also been able to make the most of our facilities too as they've been voted best in the UK!
The university if a sports university with MANY facilities. Students that dont do sports get to enjoy many more parties and fun adventures.
It's great to hear you've enjoyed our sports facilities. We aim to have something for everyone who wants to try sports - whether they're just looking for recreational sport or are competitive. I'm glad you've noticed that it's not all sports too! We're known for sport, but with over 100 societies on offer there's plenty of other things to do here.
Just an overall great experience. Really fun events and the teacjing quality has been great. The course support has been great too.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience :) our Students' Union put on some fantastic events, so it's great to hear you made the most of this alongside your studies.
Lovely facilities lovely teachers
Thank you for your review :) I'm really glad you had a positive experience with our teaching staff. We're proud of both our academic and sports facilities, so it's great to hear you made the most of them too.
Great study experience, friendly teachers and staff, good sports facilities in the school
Thank you for your review! We're glad you had a positive experience with teachers and staff here, we pride ourselves on being a friendly and approachable team :) Great to hear you enjoyed the sports facilities here too.
Loughborough university is a very nice place to be.
Thank you for your review :) it's always great to hear people enjoy their time here! We hope you were able to make the most of our friendly campus and our Students' Union whilst studying with us.
loughborough is very good loved it
So glad you loved studying here! We always aim to create a friendly community here on our Loughborough campus and it's great to hear students feel a part of that.
Nice sports facilities and societies
Thank you for your review :) we're proud of our sports facilities and the societies in our Students' Union so it's great to hear you've made the most of them!
Dedicated and most supportive staff at low energy building service engineering.
So pleased to hear you've had a positive experience with our engineering department! Thank you for your kind review.
Good university with good resources and facilities
Thank you for your review! Really pleased to hear you enjoyed our facilities here :)
Good experience and great value for money
Thank you for your review, it's great to hear you've enjoyed your time with us :) hopefully you've enjoyed the Union and facilities here.
The university itself has a really nice campus with great academic and sports facilities. In academic terms the university fluctuates quite a bit. Some of my lecturers are really good whilst some are really poor. The work load is certainly higher than I expected which is a positive because it shows the university does seek to push you. Social life here honestly is not that great. Especially for students who are from south London like me. The town is very deprived with barely anything to do. The food spots are really good though in all fairness.
Thank you for your review, and it's great to hear about the positives you've experienced here at Loughborough University. I'm sorry to hear you've had a disappointing experience with some lecturers, I'd recommend you raise this in your feedback or speak to your course lead or department about it if you're comfortable doing so. If you haven't already, I'd recommend taking a look at the societies we have on offer here to improve your social experience here at Loughborough. If you're missing the city, we're also a short train ride from Nottingham - I understand that a campus university isn't for everyone but hopefully this can help you to enjoy your time here more.
Good all round Was able to find info I needed
Thank you for your review. It's brilliant to hear you've found all of the information you needed, if you need any more you can find useful contacts here :)
Sceneries are amazing, forest well preserved
It's fantastic to hear you've enjoyed our beautiful campus here at Loughborough! Hollywell Woods is also available for geography student research, too :)
Great facilities, especially sports/gym facilities. Great balance between academics and social life
It's great to hear you've made the most of our facilities here at Loughborough! We're really proud of our sports facilities and two gyms here :)
The university is great, lots of clubs and societies to join and lots of great people to meet. The union is also great as there are many different things to do and eat
Thank you for your review! Really pleased you've made the most of our socieites and Students' Union :)
Uni experience 10/10 some of the tutors give vague feedback, but other than that it's great
Really glad to hear you had a positive experience here at Loughborugh University :) if you're ever unsure of feedback from a lecturer, we'd advise you reach out to them or the course leader who should be able to help with more information - department contact information is available here.
A huge campus with the best of amenities for the sports and the professors are very helpful and resourceful too.
Thank you for your review :) we're proud to be sports university of the year 2022, really pleased to hear you enjoyed our sports facilities alongside our teaching!
Lot of things to do if you are a sports enthusiast with lot of volunteering opportunities on campus
The Students Union is nearly impossible to buy tickets for on nights out. The remodelling of the union has meant that there's such a decrease in capacity that tickets for regular nights out sell out within a couple of minutes. The system is badly designed and means that finalists cannot buy tickets for their final nights out. Tickets are not reserved while they are in the checkout basket so you lose your tickets while trying to buy them. The amount of luck you need to get a ticket is something you would expect from a concert, not a normal night at a union. People resell tickets at extortionate prices, and are often invalid because of the policy on ticket buying. The university page is overrun with scammers selling fake tickets. It's a farce honestly.
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you had a negative experience getting tickets for the Student's Union, I will pass this feedback on to the team that look after this. I hope your overall experience studging here at Loughborough University was more positive.
Facilities for sport are on another level
Thank you for your review! We're proud to have been voted the Sports University of the Year and it's brilliant to hear you like the sports facilities we have to offer. You can find out about all of the sports we have at Loughborough here and can follow us for updates @lborosport.
loughborough university seems like an average university
Thank you for your review. I'm unsure whether you're a student here at Loughborough University, but if you're not it might be useful to know we are a top ten university across every national league table. You can read more about our rankings here.
I would definitely recommend Loughborough University. The university have a lot to offer from student support to clubs and societies.
It's great to hear that you've enjoyed your time at Loughborough! We're proud of the societies on offer and the community Loughborough Students' Union creates for everyone here.
Beautiful campus especially during summer, great bus service, just not much to do in the area or town and there is a very bad "lad culture" as there are so many sports boys. Get harassed every night out so had to stop going to the union all together as firefly and revs have better staff and 0 tolerance policy and its easier to stop people when there isn't a sea of people to control as they let wayyy to many people into the union.
Thank you for your review. I'm really glad to hear you've enjoyed our beautiful campus. I have made the Students' Union aware of your feedback as we both have zero tolerance policies on any form of harassment.
Good facilities on campus and great knowledge in the field of sports. Lots of opportunities to volunteer in various fields of sports. Good support from LSU staff.
Really pleased to hear you like our campus, particularly the sport we offer here. For sport updates from us, don't forget to follow @LboroSport.
Its a nice university. I really like the campus and the different study spots. Also there's usually cool activities and events going on.
Really glad to hear you like the campus, we're really proud of our big campus and the Loughborough community here. Our Students' Union also has lots going on, find out more here.
The university is the best choice for sports related subjects.
Thank you for your review. It's brilliant to hear you like studying sport here! We also offer plenty of sport for those who don't study a sport-related subject - you can find out more here.
Big up the Luff. Best uni in the country.
Thank you for the review, really glad you've enjoyed your time with us!
Great! I’ve been here for three years and it’s just such a caring uni
Thank you for your review! Really glad to hear you're enjoying it and have found us to be caring - if you haven't already then check out everything our Student Services have to offer to support students here :)
A great campus facility. Amazing careers service. Best place for hardworking students.
Thank you for the lovely review! It's brilliant to hear you've enjoyed the Careers Service - you can continue to access this service for 3 years after graduating too.
Small town so not a lot to do. If you meet the right people you’ll have a good uni experience
Thank you for your review. Loughborough isn't a big town so we always try to make the most of our fantastic Students' Union and the community here on campus. You can learn more about it and find societies to join here.
Nice looking campus and great facility
Really glad to hear you like our campus! We're proud of the facilities we have to offer here at Loughborough so it's great to hear you enjoyed them.
Decent uni but in the middle of nowhere and flaky WiFi
Thank you for your review. Really glad to hear you like the uni! As a single site campus, we try to ensure everything you need is on site - you can learn more about what our campus has to offer here. Thank you for your feedback on the WiFi, we will pass this information on.
Options across the university are seemingly endless however certain aspects could be improved including how ims sports are ran as well as the prices in the student union.
Thank you for your review, really glad you liked the options here. Thank you for your feedback on the prices at the union.
Amazing sports school, a lot of sports available for everyone even non-competitive
Really great to hear you enjoyed the sport offered here! We try to offer something for everyone and we're really glad you found that to be the case.
Best place to be for sport and sporting degrees, fantastic facilities and wide range of societies.
Thank you for your review. It's brilliant to hear you enjoyed our facilities and societies.
Loughborough University is honestly unique in its own right. Once you step foot on campus you understand what a great sense of community there is - that’s the main thing about the Loughborough experience. The campus is a great place to work, whilst a lot of the buildings are admittedly quite drab, a lot of money has been spent on developing the inside - the facilities for learning are good. Sport is a key selling point for L’boro, even if you’re not that into sport, there are always opportunities to get involved, and you can book one of the many pitches/courts/rooms available to play with friends in your own time. Some of the student halls on campus are (very) dated and the standard/aesthetic of halls, especially those built earlier on, is quite poor… however this is not a deal breaker - what makes your hall experience is the people, and I guarantee you will overlook any mundane furniture when you meet your flatmates.
Thank you for your review, really glad to hear you've enjoyed the sense of community here - that's something which is really important to us! It's great that you've enjoyed the sport here too, we try to make recreational sport accessible to everyone here at Loughborough. Sorry to hear that the halls weren't quite up to scratch - we will pass the feedback on.
A well rounded university, with unlimited resources students can develop in both a professional and social manner.
Thank you for your review! It's great to hear you're enjoying it here and that you're pleased with the resources. Our facilities are something we're really proud of :)
Amazing university for sports facilities and academics. The accommodation is of varying price range, and some are modern.
Thank you for your review! So glad to hear you're enjoying our sports facilities, we're really proud of them.
Great uni with great facilities on campus plus easy to get to around using the campus bus.
So glad to hear you like the facilities! Great that you've made the most of the campus bus service too :)
Great place to study and grow!!!
Thanks so much for the review! It's great to hear you're enjoying studying here :)
Good University great experience Good professors good atmosphere really enjoying it
So glad to hear that you're enjoying the University, particularly the atmosphere - our Students' Union does a brilliant job of making the campus a great place to be!
I love this university for its opportunities to join almost any sport at almost any level. The teaching could be better in some areas.
Thanks so much for the review. Great to hear you enjoy all the sports opportunities we offer. You can take part in so many different sports, from absolute beginners all the way to elite level. Or even just watching the matches if you don’t enjoy being active yourself. Find out more: www.lboro.ac.uk/sport
Some dead uni but I’ll allow them Cah they are sometimes nice
You should follow our socials to see what’s happening on campus 😊 All the links are at the bottom of our homepage.
mid, with a hint of good and bad = decent.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Good and friendly environment.
Thank you for the review, glad to hear you're enjoying it here! Take a look at our campus life info to find out more about what it's like to be a part of Loughborough University.
Campus is great but the union really lets it down. Getting rid of a popular room in the union has made capacity smaller which wouldn't be a major issue if there were more clubs. The union really let's down the uni
Hi, thanks for the feedback and it's good to hear that overall you're enjoying the campus. Sorry that you haven't had a great experience with our Students Union. They are always open to feedback - you can contact them here. Hopefully you'll find that your experience of them changes for the better!
Pretty fun, pretty cool, great
Really glad to hear you're enjoying the University! Hopefully you've already discovered our Students' Union, but if not take a look as they have loads to offer.
It's a good university and there are a lot of services to help with any problems like maths etc, also the library is very useful and there's a wide variety of societies.
This is great to hear! We're glad that you're making use of our Mathematics Learning Support Centre. Our Academic Language Support Service is also there if you need any guidance on academic writing skills. We want every one of our students to succeed in their studies and are here to help you accomplish your best work!
All the facilities I have used have been of great standard and the more communal areas are especially taken care of. The wifi around campus is standard for doing work but can sometimes be slow or not connect straight away. There are so many more societies and clubs than I could imagine and there is always something happening at the union.
This is nice, thanks! If you're having trouble with your Wi-Fi then you could get in touch with our IT Services department - sometimes there is an easy fix :)
Brilliant experience, incredible campus, incredible culture around community, excellent facilities
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It's brilliant to hear that you're enjoying so many elements of the University.

So glad to hear that you're happy with our facilities! We're very proud of the School of Design and Creative Arts and the incredible opportunities that they provide. You're learning from the best!
Nice and broad campus the only downside is it’s exhausting to walk from one side to another for unsporty people, would wish to see more shops and restaurants in or around SU
Thanks for your feedback! Have you checked out the campus bus service? It's very regular and might help you if you want to move around campus and town more quickly. There are more shops and restaurants available to you in the town too.
Due to corona virus I was not able to fully utilise the facilities the uni had to offer and meet all the people I potentially would have met in first year, how ever second year is allowing me to do just that.
Really happy to hear that you're finally getting a true university 'Freshers' experience even if it's now your second year with us! Thanks for the feedback.
I love the fact that it’s a campus - there is a real community feel!
Thank you for the review, we love how much of a community feel the campus has too! Have you checked out our Students' Union? We think they do a great job of bringing everyone together.
The atmosphere at Loughborough University is unparalleled as you can get a sense of the great community just from walking through the library.

great sports facilities and campus
Thanks for the review! We love our sport facilities too :)
Quite stressful, depending on the course you are taking. Would be beneficial to have some more days off in between semesters.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you are finding it stressful. Have you spoken to your lecturers/Personal Tutor about how you're feeling? We have excellent Health and Wellbeing services too if you need some extra support. Take care!
Has great facilities and there’s something for everyone to do.
Good to hear that you're enjoying our facilities!
Having a blast, great environment and greater people, the students Union is amazing, fast WiFi so no worries of disconnection.
This is so nice to read! We are so proud of our Lboro community and agree that the Students' Union is fantastic. Keep an eye on their social media accounts as they often advertise their events on there!
Very enjoyable experience, great sport facilities
Happy to hear you're enjoying your Lboro experience!
Loughborough has a great standard for teaching but unfortunately there could be more done in the way of social presence
Hi, sorry to hear that you feel our social presence could improve. We are happy to listen to any suggestions! In the meantime you may want to check out the societies that our Students' Union has to offer. They are always advertising new events too and if you give their social media accounts a follow you'll stay updated.
Good facilities and opportunities on campus with pretty good support throughout. Little do do outside of campus and often not a lot going on/advertised.
Hello, glad to hear that you are enjoying campus life. For things to do outside of campus you could check out Event Brite as often there are events advertised on there. There is also the Town Hall for shows/concerts. If there is nothing local that interests you then Loughborough has great transport links to Nottingham and Leicester - there are always things happening in the cities!
