Great social aspect, Faraday Large Kitchen option is best if you want to experience more social side of University and Faraday. Dining hall is good for meeting people and getting a good amount of food in. Good little location next to Spa and kebab shop for weekend food. Near gym and centre of the uni campus. Better than the other halls nearbv. more of a communitv aspect.

Good room with kind staff and a good location from lectures. Kitchen facilities could be better as there is no fan so when cooking in the hobs it can get very warm especially since the windows don’t open very far and there’s no oven. Also when trying to get a room at the beginning of the year there were problems with choosing rooms and the way rooms are given out should be changed to a better system.

On a whole faraday is a very inclusive and sociable hall which caters for everyone, through-out this year there has been lots of great social events (for example, the winter & summer balls) which have been great to get to know and spend time with your friends. Also, the food which you get catered is actually of a good standard and is much nicer then you'd imagine. Overall my time in faraday has been positive and i would recommend for any people deciding on their hall.

Overall, I definitely would choose faraday again. The community is brilliant and I’ve frequently been told it’s unlike any other hall on lboro campus. The hall staff are friendly and responsive. Choosing the be catered is something I definitely recommend as if allows you to meet people and have less stress throughout your (first) year. As a fussy eater, sometimes it was difficult but there was always at least one meal I would eat. It is in the best location on campus and is within a 5/10 minute walk to the majority of campus buildings and the spar which is very useful.

Most social hall on campus!!! Always events on and everyone is welcome to get involved. Being in catered accommodation helps you get to know people and make friends quickly and saves you a lot of time cooking during the week. Faraday is in a great location being in the centre of campus, close to the library, students union, the spar shop and most lecture halls. The hall that’s the best value for money.

Faraday is not only an excellent hall to live in with plenty of green space and modern facilities for the price, but it is also an amazing social space! Nearly all of my friends I have made are from Faraday due to the inclusive highly social nature of the hall which always has plenty of activities and events to get involved in meaning you settle in the community so quickly!

Really love Faraday hall! It is a very sociable hall with a sense of community. It is also a catered hall, meaning that there is an opportunity to meet people outside of your flat or block. Some of my good friends, I met in the dining hall despite not being in the same flat. A good location too, about a 5 minute walk max to the library and between a 5-10 minute walk to the central lecture halls. 😊

Faraday is by far the best hall on campus. The location is brilliant being so close to all the lecture halls, walking distance from all sporting facilities. The hall has such a great atmosphere that I’ve loved so much and made so many amazing friends. Being catered is so convenient with a wide range of options at each mealtime. It’s also lovely to sit with your friends and chat everyday. It’s a very sociable hall that loves to put on events throughout the year. I couldn’t recommend faraday enough to anyone applying for halls. It’s been the best part of my university journey so far, so much so I’m staying in halls for my second year. Please choose faraday you’ll have the best time ever!

I’ve had a great experience in Faraday hall over the past two years I’ve stayed here. Positioned centrally on campus, it’s no more than a 10-15 minute walk (mostly less) from the majority of places of interest at the University (importantly, lecture halls). I’ve found a wonderful community and group of friends as a result of the social scene and friendliness abound. It’s a huge perk that the hall is catered given the shared canteen where you’re able to see familiar faces throughout the year - it’s a massive help in building the community. The hall is slightly older, meaning the spaces aren’t as functional as they once may have been, and are susceptible to some age-related rundowns. However, it’s not something that’s taken anything away from the experience for me. The friends I was able to find in my first year, as well as the community, positioning, and social factors are what brought me back in my second year, thus, I’d recommend it - realising this may be different for everyone.

I lived in Faraday for 2 years during my degree and they were some of the best years of my life. It is an extremely social hall and I can confidently say that I have made some lifelong friends here. The rooms themselves are exactly what you need at university and the facilities and cleaning staff are excellent and absolutely lovely. Can’t recommend Faraday enough, it really is a family. Despite being in my final year and now living in town, I still keep in contact with the hall and regularly attend events and compete in sports matches for them.

The best catered hall on campus. Food is served on a three week rota basis so you get some variety, and Faraday is near all the other accommodation halls on campus, so it's really easy to socialise. We're really near the library and the paddock for your study and sport fix, and even the standard option rooms don't feel cramped sharing a bathroom.

Better for people who are less fussed about facilities and more about the connections you make within the hall. Everyone is very friendly and the social activities are really good. The only downside is the age of the hall makes it sometimes annoying with a few things breaking throughout the year.

Faraday hall was so inviting and lovely. It really made the experience of moving into university so easy. The hall was so sociable and there was always an opportunity to see people at lunch and supper because of he catering aspect. The wardens and committee were so helpful and lovely to talk to about anything. The cleaners would clean all communal spaces once a week and even the bedrooms every two weeks which was incredibly helpful and sanitary. Faraday hall is in an ideal location bang in the centre of campus and right by the coop.

I lived in Faraday in my first year of University and I had the best time! It was so ideal because I had my breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked for every weekday. Faraday is also in a great location, being close to all of my lectures and is close to campus facilities such as the Union and Library. The social experience was fantastic! I made friends for life and was able to get involved in a lot of hall events.

The hall is good and close to most of my lecture rooms. It is catered and adds up to its value.

I live in an ensuite room with an extra kitchen, which is much more useful then the standard one. The bathrooms are small. The cleaning service is good. The dining hall is ok, the staff is really nice, but the diversity of food is not the best. They do have vegatarian food and different types of meat, but we eat too much pasta and potatoes.

I was nervous about joining university due to the fact I'd be leaving home but Faraday has become my new home. The whole place is so nice that I have no regrets about choosing it.

Overall a good hall and I met some great, long-term friends here. However, the rooms and hall as a whole is a bit dated in comparison to some of the other, newer halls on campus.

I only had one year in halls but my catered hall allowed me to avoid having to cook after late lectures and encouraged a very social environment which allowed me to gain loads of friends

Not a bad word to say about living in Faraday. Being a catered hall adds to the social dynamic of the hall, whilst not having the added pressure of having to cook every night, especially for a busy fresher! Excellent rooms for the price paid, spacious and very clean. The social scene is second to none, with events taking place nearly every week. And being officially the best sporting hall in Loughborough just puts the icing on the cake.

Excellent to be part of Faraday hall. Being in a catered hall is very sociable, having met so many people this year. The food is nice, with a variety of dishes at lunch and dinner. The rooms are spacious, and are cleaned on a fortnightly basis. The social life is excellent, events on every week!

Such an incredible hall and everybody is so friendly. There are loads of hall activities to get involved in from sport to raising money for charity. Going self catered is definitely worth it, the food is generally good and there's plenty of choice but even just being able to sit with anyone you want means that you can make so many new friends.
