Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so pleased to hear you've enjoyed your time with us over the past two years. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your time at Loughborough! - Harry
Small, smelly mouldy rooms, nowhere to hand your towel, tiny bathroom. 1 kitchenette with mini bar size fridge for 12 people, nowhere to socialize. Daylight robbery

Hi there,
We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay in Faraday. We always suggest that any maintenence issues, such as mould, be reported to the hall reception immediately so that it can be addressed.
Catered halls typically have smaller kitchens, due to students being provided 15 meals a week and not needing to use it as regularly as self-catered students. The dining halls also serve as an excellent space to socialise with other students, as well as each hall having dedicated common rooms.
Thank you for your review, we hope this provides some clarification for you - Lucy
Quality of life whilst living there was great, everything you need in terms of general living was provided really well, always felt safe and was a good size. Wouldn't really of wanted to be anywhere else.
However the only downside I would say is that the common room was pretty poor compared to others though, needed a serious revamp or at least to be kept more clean as its the only real social space aside from the dining hall.

Sorry to hear that the common room didn't meet your expectations - We will forward your feedback on to the hall management team. The dining room is a fantastic place to connect with other students, and the students union is another nice socialising space.

Hello, thanks for your question. In our Faraday shared kitchens we provide you with some essential equipment, such as a kettle, toaster and microwave. Depending on the type of kitchen you are allocated into in Faraday, you will have slightly different cookers and hobs. For example, a large kitchen in Faraday will have an electric cooker with hob, oven and grill, whereas some smaller kitchens will have an induction hob with pans provided.
We do recommend that you bring your own saucepans, measuring jugs and any other crockery, utensils and cutlery that you would usually use. You can find a handy list of what we provide, what to pack and what not to pack for your move in day here.

Hi there, thanks for your question. In Faraday, you will be catered for Monday to Friday for 15 meals per week, covering breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have shared kitchens for you and your flatmates to share on the weekends, and any other days during the week when you want to make yourself some more food! Depending on the room type you choose, you will share a kitchen with 2-8 people. You can use our helpful 360 degree camera on the Faraday hall webpage to view an example of our kitchens in Faraday.

Hello and thank you for your question. Faraday has the biggest range of room types in all of our halls, including a range of ensuite options.
For ensuite options, there are 114 bedrooms with single beds, and 51 bedrooms with 4ft beds, the size of a small double bed.
For our shared ensuite option, where two bedrooms share a separate bathroom, there are 4 bedrooms with single beds, and 20 rooms available with 4ft beds, which is the size of a small double bed.
On our Faraday hall webpage, you can check out the full range of room options under the ‘occupancy and costs’ tab. Unless a room type specifies that it has a 4ft bed (small double bed), then it will be a single bed.
