Featuring one of the largest Campus' in Europe, students have rated Loughborough as one of the best universities in the UK for its accommodation options. Most of the halls are on campus or within walking distance of the campus and with all first years being offered university-allocated accommodation and nearly a third of returners living in university-allocated accommodation as well, it is always a lively place to be. There are options to suit all budgets and accommodation preferences. All Halls have a committee which run incredible fresher events and socials throughout the year, so it is easy to make friends and creates an inclusive environment. Furthermore, there is the IMS Hall Sport Tournament, which enables Halls to compete with each other in various sports for the IMS trophy as well as other inter-hall competitions including RAG and Energy Saving. With such a community spirit, students say that Loughborough is a great place to live! Ellie Roberts, Director of Campus Living at Loughborough University, said: “We were delighted that our students have rated our accommodation so highly. We work hard, with our partners UNITE, to provide the best accommodation for our students and it is great that this has been recognised.”
