Good experiences in all my years at Loughborough.
Great campus, lots to do and very modern
its a good social space with good facilities
The campus is very large and green, so it always feels nice to be in and walk around in. It also feels very safe, I usually don’t feel like I’m in danger when I’m putside on campus when it’s dark. The range of societies excluding sports socs isn’t huge and the wifi can be very bad depending on which building/ room you’re in.
It’s cool and I like the people
all good so far, but wifi was dodgy at the start of term
The SU holds good night time events, JC’s has a great atmosphere during games and the SU has a decent selection of food to get. Sports facilities are one of the best i’ve ever seen and I enjoy using them very much such as Holywell gym

The wifi can be quite temperamental sometimes which can make it hard when in lectures sometimes
There are so many different societies to choose from, and not all of them are related to sports despite Loughborough being a sports uni. Also, the student union is quite a nice space, lots of space to sit and chill with friends, or study, and decent food options too (including coop). The Internet can be a bit unreliable sometimes. The careers services are really useful as well.
there are many opportunities to take part in activities and they are very inclusive

Very good will recommend to others.
Very good would recommend. Would not change anything.
I’ve found the facilities to be nice and generally clean, though sometimes a bit tricky to find. The clubs and communities have great outreach and are very active. The biggest downside has been the ongoing issues with the Wi-Fi.
Love Loughborough, can't imagine myself anywhere else.
Everything is great and atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. WiFi can sometimes be laggy, but boat of times it is extremely fast.

Top-notch learning facilities and supportive environment.
The Loughborough experience has been very uplifting so far with lots of good influence around me I have been given so many opportunities to try new things.
I have really enjoyed my experience here my only issue being once I joined an ims sport I found out that because we are not on campus if we wish to do training we have to pay for it out selves whereas no other accommodation has to do so
Great clubs and societies and awesome campus
Loughborough is exceptionally social and I think the sportiness of the university is partly what keeps the campus so lovely
Very modern facilities for lectures!
Love the campus life at Loughborough Uni
Have loved every minute of Loughborough so far, the campus is huge with everything you need on it including incredible sports facilities
