Amazing, very good University. Has a beautiful campus
Loughborough has a great range of facilities and a great community atmosphere created by the events and social life of the union and societies.
Loughborough is a great uni to go to! It has a great community atmosphere and has good facilities across campus. There are loads of opportunities to get involved with.
The university offers a wide range of campus facilities necessary for completing your studies successfully! If you are a sports enthusiast, the uni has a number of clubs which to take part in! Don't miss out!
The university is very responsive to student enquiries and demands. There is a strong variety in the societies offered and the campus facilities allow for students to study and exercise in well equipped buildings.
Despite the limitations placed upon by Covid the students union and university staff gave an experience that we can make the most of the year and experience as much as freshers as possible. They also made sure we were taken care of during the pandemic in situations where we bad to isolate as well as prioritising safety with restrictions.
I enjoyed my 1st year experience- it was fun, allowed me to develop as a person and when we had to self isolate my flat and I were well taken care of
Beautiful campus with wide ranging facilities. Lots of clubs and societies available to get involved in with the option to start your own! Wi-Fi on campus can be slightly slow at times.
Loughborough has a great atmosphere that encourages academic excellence while the facilities provide a wide variety of resources.
My first year at Loughborough was great. Although Covid made it less enjoyable, the uni itself is very good. Campus facilities are amazing (especially if you enjoy sports or staying in the library for hours). Hopefully next year the students union will be in full swing and the freshers can experience the “best students union in the country” as my year wasn’t able to.
Good, had a good time although wasnt in uni that much
My first year experience was a bit unusual because of Covid but my university handled the situation in the best way possible and I couldn’t be happier with that.
Amazing!!! Everything you want from a uni
Great overall, can't fault the experience and the handling of the pandemic.
Loughborough is beautiful and the energy is great! You have amazing sport facilities for people of any level to join and people are always friendly, helpful and welcoming :)
Overall a great university. I would recommend picking up a sport while you're here!
I have enjoyed my time at this university and have met many new friends through the different opportunities the university offers.
Have done 4 year MChem, and started a PhD here. All in all a great experience.
Overall, positive experience at Loughborough! Thought freshers worked well and helped make friends. The Union works well in the day and for nights out. The careers service are accommodating and very friendly so approachable
I personally love Loughborough and am so glad I chose it! I am also so lucky I chose my hall because I’ve met some of my best friends and have loved all my flatmates, committee and anyone else I’ve met! I’m a very sporty person so I’ve also loved taking part in hall sport and uni wide sport as well!
Great Facilities & Passionate lecturers
Overall a great experience with lots of opportunities available, especially the wide range of societies. Career based modules and guidance is also very helpful, such as CV reviews and mock assessment centres.
Loughborough has so many amazing opportunities that’s I’ve been grateful to be a part of! I’d definitely recommend it to any new students
A great student experience mixed with great teaching, societies and social activities.
A top class university with lots of facilities, activities and student societies. The perfect university to balance work and social life.
Very spacious campus with excellent learning opportunities in the Wolfson School, they have handled the pandemic very well compared to other schools/university and have given us as (relatively) many in-person sessions given the pandemic.
Unfortunately, I can't say I've had the full university experience yet because I'm a first year and the pandemic has changed things. But even so, the university has been really helpful in assisting us through these difficult times and ensuring our wellbeing and health are the priority, and there is a community feel at Loughborough. Overall, I've had a decent experience so far. Hopefully next year things will go (almost) back to normal so I can live the proper university experience.
I really hope you can too, we will certainly try our best to make this happen for all of our students.
Good Uni, lots of societies to join and opportunities to take advantage of
The campus of Loughborough University is very beautiful. There are many sports facilities.
The campus and facilities are great. However, I have had issues connecting the campus wifi.
Hi there, I'm sorry about the issues with regards to connecting to the campus WiFi, do let me know if you need any help with this. Bindu
I haven't been able to experience it much this year due to covid, but the staff have been great at supporting online learning.
Loughborough is an amazing uni. There is always something going on on campus. The union (even with corona) have been putting on as many events as they can. They have done everything possible to make my first year at uni as good as it can be. It’s so unique to every other university with such a community feel.
Great university with amazing sport facilities. Staff there are very nice and helpful to student.
The atmosphere at the university is amazing - you really feel like part of one big community! There’s always something going on, on campus, whether its events in each hall or sports events. There’s something for everyone and you don’t have to be into sport or participate to feel welcome at the university.
offers a good environment and social life, the syllabus for business related subjects is amazing, the campus has. been built beautifully and is very convenient to use.
Hi there, really great to hear feedback with regards to business-related subjects, thank you.
Considering the current pandemic we have been in, the University has tried it's hardest and has delivered a decent standard of teaching and campus life in general
Thank you for your understanding, everyone has tried to provide the best support to students as possible.
The uni has done a very good job of providing good teaching during the pandemic. Though I am really looking forward to having lectures in person soon.
Really appreciate your review, we can't wait to resume in-person lectures too!!
Fantastic university, renowned for its sports. That being said, plenty to do for everyone and lots of societies outside of sports.
Due to Covid-19, my experience of the university is different. As the university had to follow Govt guidelines, I wasn't able to experience it fully.
I really hope you'll be able to have a taste of the true Loughborough experience very soon!
The university has great facilities and decent staff
Amazing university with so many beautiful green spaces, great facilities and atmosphere. So many options for sports and leisure activities. My course is great, with interesting lectures and modules.
Good university with many facilities. The staff is friendly and the lecturers are good. The student union and the student life mostly is very important.
Wondeful facilities and the careers team are always available to help you work out your future.
It's good to hear that our Careers Network have been able to help you.
I’ve enjoyed studying at lboro although COVID has caused my first year experience to be pretty dull.
Hi there, It's not been a great year with only limited events taking place but hopefully you'll get to enjoy the full Loughborough experience very soon! Bindu
Loughborough University has exceptional facilities scattered along a beautiful campus. The clubs and societies of the university are diverse and there is something for everyone.
Our huge campus is pretty special!!! Theer's a shuttle bus that goes round the campus for anyone who is averse to walking.
One of the best things that ever happened to me was starting my studies at Loughborough University. Lecturers are amazing and they give their best to make the courses interesting and informative. The facilities on campus are beyond every expectation I had. There are so many sports you can do there - from professional to casual activities. The societies' network is incredible. The Student Support Centre is great. No matter what issue you may have, the staff will do everything they can to help and support you. Definitely worth it!
Hi there, it's great to hear you're really enjoying your time at Loughborough. Our student services are available for all kinds of guidance and support for all students. Bindu
Great campus with so many facilities, societies and lots of support offered. No better place!
Our campus does have great facilities and so much to do, you won't get bored.
Really good on the whole. Social life is exceptional. Hall of residences are big social hubs and have committees that run events all of the time. Lecturers on the whole are okay. Facilities are great.
Being in Halls of residence is so much fun and a great place to socalise and build your friendship circle.
The university runs many different fun activities for people to join in. Also there are a wide variety of societies which people can join!
There are so many clubs and societies to get involved in!
Great all round university with industrial and company links with new opportunities becoming available to students

Hello, thank you for your review, it's great to hear you've had a positive experience at Loughborough. We have over 120 clubs and societies to get involved with so i'm glad you found things that interested you. Bindu

Hello, i'm sorry to hear there has been issues with funding for your course. Do let me know if you need any advice/support and i'll guide you where I can. Bindu
The university has done a lot to make the first-year students experience the best despite the pandemic.
Hello, we really have tried to support our students the best we can during the pandemic and we understand how challenging the year has been for our first year students also. Check out this video to see how one of our first year student coped during the pandemic. Bindu

Amazing lecturers and facilities.
Hello, thankl you for taking the time to write a review. Bindu
I'm pursuing MSc Marketing and find in the current scenario online classes are at par with on campus classes with professors making it an interactive session but hoping to gain on-campus classes soon.
Hello, I'm so happy to hear your positive comments regarding online classes and I really hope we can resume in-person classes soon. Keeping fingers crossed, Bindu
Great facilities, wonderful staff (both teaching and non-teaching). You can always get hep with anything you need.
Hello, your feedback about wonderful staff is really appreciated and I can say, as a staff member, that Loughborough is a fantastic place to work and that our students are friendly, respectful of others and just amazing!! Bindu
still don't release the campus cause of pandemic, but I believe I had a right choice
Hello, let's hope that the Government allow campuses to fully open soon! Bindu
A great university to study at, plenty of sport facilities and excellent academic support!
Hello, it's great to hear your positive review. As well as our great sport facilities there's so much more to get involved in - check out our societies, LU Arts and Students' Union. Thanks, Bindu
One of the best universities in the world except the international student tuition fees
Hi there, thank you for your review. Bindu
Amazing lecturers and support staff who are incredibly committed to academic excellence and genuinely invested in their students. Student accommodation available for all budgets, located either on campus or very close to campus. Very attentive careers service encouraging all students to gain work experience through internships, placements, insight schemes, volunteering opportunities, etc. to ensure graduates have enough experience to successfully apply to graduate schemes and internships. Great opportunities to study abroad for a year or semester. Plenty of events, societies and clubs. Very welcoming student population and lovely campus. Also ideal for anyone concerned about living in a large university city - Loughborough is less intimidating than city universities but there are still plenty of things to do and restaurants to visit. Alternatively, Leicester and Nottingham are very close (short train journey or drive) for more restaurants/shops/activities.
Hi there, thank you for your amazing comments. Bindu
the university is really good and very helpful, they give really good advice and reply quickly when u contact them, there’s a lot of clubs and societies that you can join, the campus is really nice
Hi there, thank you for your comments! Bindu
Loughborough university is the best and one of the top universities in uk. They have quick access to all questions. The better coordination and good for students to pick this university so that you will get best academic education.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Bindu
Teaching facilities is very supportive and amazing
Hi there, it's great to hear that you're happy with the teaching facilities at Loughborough. Bindu
emmmm, it is really hard to say. Because the Covid-19 pandemic screw up our life totally. I hope everything goes well after 8 March.
Hi there, you can be sure we will work as hard as we can to open up the University and the facilities as soon as the Government allows. Bindu
My experience so far is relatively fine considering the lockdown and all the limited opportunities. The campus facilities are definitely great; the uni always invests into expanding and improving. There is a really wide selection of clubs and societies, and you can always start your own. I haven't been to the students union, but im sure it is also great because so many others are raving about it. The careers service is pretty helpful since there are always events oragnized. Even during these times, there are online mock assessment centres held, events for discovering careers, and you can always call/email them for an advice.
Hi there, thank you for your comments and I'm hoping it's not too long before the LSU can hold events again. Bindu
Best university if you want a balanced life with academics, sports and other activities.
Hi there, there is loads to do to suppliment your academic studies which will really boost your employability prospects. Thank you for your review. Bindu

Hi there, we really do have a fantastic student support team who are available to all students for all kinds of issues. Bindu
Loughborough University is great for excellent academic exposure that you can get from the experienced lecturers. There are various societies that you can take part in. Also, you can experience different fun activities and events in the campus.
Hi there, thank you for your comments. There is something for everyone, we're much more than a sports university! Bindu
I’m really thrilled by the wealth of experience the staff have and their ability to transfer their knowledge and skills.

Hi there, we are so very proud to be a family!! Bindu
Loughborough has been really accommodating to all its students and provided a lot of support during this tough times. Although activities are limited they are doing as much as they can to give us a good student experience.
Hi there, thank you for your understanding, it's much appreciated! Bindu
I loved every other aspect of my uni life here. Just to be clear, the night life was amazing and I really loved my course and the gym facilities were incredible, However, I had the unfortunate experience of having to eat in the Rutherford dining hall five days a week. If you are a vegetarian/vegan who knows how to cook... don't do this to yourself. I am not a fussy person at all, I grew up eating everything apart from onions and I become a vegetarian because of the environment. I just like to enjoy everything I eat. I'm pretty sure I ate a variation of carbs and beans every single day. There were some days when the food was so bland or so overcooked that I couldn't convince myself to eat it. None of the desserts or salad dressings were vegan so I ended up eating fruit and the only flapjack bar that was vegan. I was hungry ALL THE TIME. The choice was so limited that I made the decision to go back to being a vegetarian otherwise I thought I might actually suffer health consequences.
Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the food at Rutherford. I know that the accommodation team regualrly ask for feedback in order to improve the food on offer and make changes where possible. Your comments have been fed back to the catering team and they will take them on board. I've also been informed that, following a review of dining hall menus, a number of changes have already been agreed for 2021, including an increase to the variety and number of plant based dishes available in the evenings. I don't know if you're still studying at Loughborough but do get in touch if you'd like to discuss your concerns further - marketing@lboro.ac.uk. Thank you, Bindu
Not much I can say really, I am a 2020 fresher so everything is very restricted this year and quite frankly I don't feel like I'm getting the uni experience I wanted at all. Also, I think Loughborough as a town is very undesirable.
It has been such a difficult year and i'm sorry you haven't been able to experience the full university journey but I hope that we'll be able to make it up to you next year when, hopefully, all of the social activities will resume on campus.
Loughborough is an incredible school. I am glad I made this choice
Thank you for taking the time to post your review.
I was at Loughborough for my B.Sc. and Ph.D. and subsequently as a Research Fellow from 1973 to 1986. My life at Loughborough still makes a lasting positive impression to my personal and professional development even to this day - now shortly before retirement. Thanks to all. BTW. I had to give a star for WiFi to submit this even though it was in that day very futuristic. We just used punched cards to use the main ICL1900 computer - and get the results earliest the next day.
Hello, thank you so much for your review, it's great to hear that Loughborough has continued to have a positive impression over the years. I wish you all the very best for your retirement. Kind regards, Bindu.
The holt wasn’t my first choice but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t the best choice I could have made. It has provided me with the greatest friends I could have asked for, and the best memories I could have had. It is close to campus near East park, 10 minutes from town and close to the local football clubs and sports grounds. Coming to the holt, you can’t go wrong.
Hi Brad, thank you for your review, this shows you can have a great experience even if you don't get your first choice. Best wishes, Bindu.
Loughborough is a great university. Although is your not a stem student or a sports student your facilities are not as great. Loughborough does really acre for their students.

Hello, Thank you for your review. It is so good to hear that you have learnt more about yourself as a person in your time at Loughborough. - Emily
Loughborough University offers a great campus/facilities with goos student support and a great Students Union. There is a vast variety of clubs and societies, focused not only on sport, but I do think where sport is regarded, there needs to be a middle level for those better than IMS level, but not good enough for AU.
Hello, Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you have had such a positive experience at Loughborough. Regarding your suggestions for sport, we recommend contacting the athletic union to share your ideas so that the executive team can make changes. - Emily
I was there as a PhD researcher and was very happy with the experience
