Loughborough
174 Reviews by Students #102 out of 422 University locations
It has all of the entertainment needed to enjoy your evening/weekends, however, Loughborough isn’t a city and so the same extent of options cannot be expected!! Luckily, Nottingham and Leicester are easy to reach by train/bus if you occasionally want a little more choice.

Loughborough Student Life
With 440 acres and lots of green spaces to explore on campus, you won’t be lacking things to do with state-of-the-art sports facilities and the Students’ Union nightclub. If you venture off-campus, there are plenty of shops, pubs, bars and restaurants plus local beauty spots to discover.
Cost of Living
Loughborough is very cheap, it is a town built around students and you can see this in the prices

Nights Out
Loughborough’s Students Union on campus, with a capacity of 4,000 people, hosts loads of events on both weekends and weekday nights and there’s a great turn out across all the years. There are several options in town for bars, clubs and pubs. Leicester and Nottingham are also frequented by Loughborough students as they have a greater variety of entertainment venues.
Public Transport
The public transport here is pretty poor. Buses don’t come too often and it’s expensive to travel on them. However, because Loughborough is so small - you can walk most places anyway! Loughborough town centre is like any other small town a it has the basic shops, restaurants and 2 cinemas but most students take a short 7min train journey to Nottingham or Leicester for a day out, as there’s slightly more on offer!

Loughborough town centre is like any other small town a it has the basic shops, restaurants and 2 cinemas but most students take a short 7min train journey to Nottingham or Leicester for a day out, as there’s slightly more on offer!
A great lunch for 5-6 quid…
The town is like most smallish towns, have most things you want in terms of shops, gyms and so. Lacks any restaurants if you are looking for a culinary experience but several places you can get a great lunch for 5-6 quid.
When you do want to treat yourself…
When you do want to treat yourself, there is some good options to eat out in the centre of town (Pizza Express, Centro Lounge, Nandos) although there could be more variety - in the past few years a lot of change has gone on so I expect the options to grow and lots more places if you venture further out
Lots of nice places…
A good student town, good value for money in terms of rent etc. Lots of nice places to eat out or grab a takeaway and the town is always vibrant.
Shopping

An 18-minute walk from the edge of campus, The Rushes has a Tesco, a Sports Direct and a Sports Direct, a TK Maxx and an Argos.
Image Credit
If Rushes don’t have it, Carillon might! 20 minutes away from campus on foot, this indoor shopping centre is home to Boots, Topman/shop, WHSmith, New Look, The Body Shop and a few more.
Image Credit
Thursday and Saturdays are Market Days in town so it’s worth popping in to grab some fresh produce and soaking up the atmosphere. Aside from the market stalls, you’ll find a decent number of mainstream shops and independent boutiques.

Top 5 Places to Eat

1. Slider Town
Creative Cocktails. Street food (think platters) and the best nachos in town. Great atmosphere.
Image Credit
2. Dolcino
A lovely spot for some Italian gelato, desserts, homemade cakes and great coffee, bank smack in the middle of town.
Image Credit
3. Grill House and Shisha Lounge
Generous portions of authentic Turkish food if you fancy it (though they don’t serve alcohol). Falafel anyone?
Image Credit
Pop in for a cream tea or try one of their lovely cakes then walk it all off round Bradgate Park. Just 10 minutes’ drive from campus.
Image Credit
A hidden gem of a cafe with truffles, cakes, chocolates, drinks and cream teas. It’s pretty cosy so might be worth booking in advance.

Coming from London, I honestly still get so shocked by how cheap food is over here.

Living costs are generally low. Lots of places to eat such as Nando’s and McDonalds, but the nicest places are in surrounding villages such as The Priory in Nanpantan or Packe Arms in Hoton and for these you need a car or taxi. Loughborough is strict on car parking even for returning students sometimes to a petty and ridiculous effect. Not much shopping nearby unless you head to Leicester but there is still two large Tescos, a Morrison’s, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and M&S. read more

Loughborough is a relatively inexpensive place to live compared to city universities, lots of private accommodation available in or near the town for when you want to move out of halls. Plenty of restaurants and takeaways, some bars and a few popular nightclubs in town (the uni has an excellent students union which is used for nights out 3x a week minimum to make up for lack of nightlife in town). More than enough shops to get your essentials (supermarkets, clothes/shoe shops, book shops, bakeries, cafés, local businesses) with Loughborough also a short distance from Nottingham and Leicester (accessible by train, bus, car etc.) where there are loads of shops, clubs, bars, restaurants etc. No need to get public transport from uni campus to town as it is close enough to walk, but the uni does run its own bus service from the train station to campus which stops at several locations in the town. Train station has regular trains to nearby cities and towns as well as further afield. read more

My overall experience...
My overall experience was okay as they had good lecturers. However, the University saw me as a money-making opportunity. Due to circumstances, I had to commute from Birmingham to uni every day. Only when I got there I hear they were charging hefty fees. So I decided to park outside campus away from the uni. One day when I visited my friend I got a warning from the unis or shall I say frauds that I parked in a no uni parking zone. However, I was visiting a friend to do some group studying. They let me off saying I shouldn't park there. But where else should I park when I visit my friend? Then halfway through the year, another friend said that he lives in a house just outside the campus and said that its a private road where I can park if I liked. So I did this and then the uni made me pay a fine of £50 even though and denied my appeal saying its because I missed a deadline. They didn't consider how busy I was commuting and managing work. They did this after charging me £14k tuition!! read more

Loughborough is very cheap, it is a town built around students and you can see this in the prices. Since updates to the town have been made there are a lot more places to eat out, albeit they are big chain restaurants. Nights out are varied and a great fun. Shopping is the bare minimum for essentials. Tonnes of charity shops. The quick links to Leicester and Nottingham make up for this though. It is not as small as people say it is and this should not be a reason people are put off by Loughborough. read more

Cost of living is very cheap, ideal for a student budget. When you do want to treat yourself, there is some good options to eat out in the centre of town (Pizza Express, Centro Lounge, Nandos) although there could be more variety - in the past few years a lot of change has gone on so I expect the options to grow and lots more places if you venture further out. Night life is good, something for everyone - r n b, techno, drum and bass, pop etc, something on most days of the week every week. Shopping is the weak link, some okay places but lets be real, you can buy anything online now. Transport links are good, train station in town, great taxi service specifically for students available on and off campus, good bus links to campus and beyond. read more

A very student town. There are many areas that are student housing dominated, meaning a busy and student feel to these areas. The housing type ranges massively and so do costs, you can pay from 60 pppw up to 100+. The nights out are alright, but the SU takes priority with many. Shopping isn't great, however with Nottingham to the North and Leicester to the South you can go shopping there.

Shuttle buses go from campus to train station via town centre and it's cheap to do so (less than £2). Town has some of the best, authentic food to offer including The Basin (Thai/Chinese/Japanese), Peter (Italian) and World Buffet 108 (Mixed cuisines) which are all good value for money. Some great clubs which have great deals for student nights, e.g. Mansion (Mondays), Vodka Revolutions (Thursdays). Huge Tesco on edge of town, only 10-12 mins walk from SU and most high street shops nearby (Burton, Next, SportsDirect etc). Leicester and Nottingham both very close by train (10 mins) for days and nights out. read more

Loughborough town is pretty rough/grotty in areas, we had a few break ins by the locals trying to thieve things (this happened in other areas of the campus too). The nightlife is good, you can go out pretty much any night and the place is always full of students! I have visited friends at other unis that are situated in cities (e.g. Sheffield) and the general vibe is a lot better and there are lots more clubs to go to at night. However this doesn't really detract from the Loughborough experience so don't let it put you off! read more
