The best two years of my life so far, great support from all departments in helping to create a well rounded experience.
There isn't anything bad to say about Loughborough. The whole experience is unforgettable and I urge anyone to apply here.
Thank you! Did you know that Loughborough was voted the best student experience of the entire decade? http://www.lboro.ac.uk/media-centre/press-releases/2017/march/survey-confirms-loughborough-has-offered-best-student-experience-over-the-last-d.html
Such a great mix of people, societies and there's always loads going on, Loughborough just feels like family to me.
Inclusive of all. The family environment at Loughborough is second to none.
Fantastic all round, best decision I ever made!
The best university for social life, 132 societies to choose from, great union with three separate club rooms, and the campus is fantastic with unbeatable facilities
Thanks! For everyone else, don't just take Alex's word for it - check out the LSU website! https://www.lsu.co.uk/
Loughborough is a fantastic campus university for the well rounded student who wants to get involved in every possible opportunity
Best experience of my life coming here
Had a brilliant first year, facilities are top quality, amazing Student Union, really enjoying course, couldn't ask for better
Excellent to hear! We hope you enjoy the next few years with us just as much :)
Just finished my first year at Loughborough and I can't imagine being at university anywhere else! The student atmosphere is absolutely amazing with something suited to everyone - sports, societies. Everyone is so friendly and lovely!
My first year at Loughborough has been the best year of my life everything about this uni is amazing.
It's litty gains I love Loughborough especially the Telford side, barmy army Telford Hall!
Loughborough is amazing, the campus facilities and nights out ar all incredible and I honestly wouldn't wish to be anywhere else.
We're so glad you're enjoying yourself! Our facilities really are state of the art. Check out our new £17 million STEMlab here http://www.lboro.ac.uk/study/stemlab/
It's just a pretty peng place, not sure anywhere else can come close. iMS is love IMS is life as is FND
Fantastic student exeprience!!!
Thanks!
There's a reason Loughborough university was recently voted number 1 in the country for student satisfaction. The facilities are of a high standard, the student union is incredibly well run and offers a range of events throughout the year, as well as representing minority groups (LBGTQ+ community and minority ethnic groups) and we have some of the best sport facilities in the country. The teaching standards are high and it's an absolute pleasure to be apart of the Loughborough family.
That's great to hear!
Always 1st for Student Experience and 1st in NSS this year! Loughborough has a place for everyone, and you'll get a highly regarded degree in a top 10 University at the end of your time here as well!
The best university in the world! The place to be.
From the minute you land on campus, you feel the buzz. Just this great energy and spirit driven by a strong student network that’s at the very heart of the Loughborough Experience. Loughborough carries award-winning status, from campus facilities, academic programs and its Students’ Union, yet staff and students are the most down to earth people you’ll ever meet, whether in lectures theatres, the sports field or on nights out. Loughborough Students’ Union fundraises the largest amount of money for charities each year, its Media Centre is an award-winning organisation and it goes without saying that Loughborough’s sporting achievements are simply unparalleled on the local and international scene. From student halls, clubs and societies to academic learning, Loughborough Students know that they’re part of something special from their very first day on campus. Alongside that degree roll, you’ll make lifelong friendships, have incredible laughs and make memories that will last a lifetime.
We're so glad that you enjoyed yourself!
Loughborough University has been the best choice I have ever made.
Best Expierience of my life, would highly recommend coming to Loughborough. Every penny is spent on making student expieriences better and it shows in the year I've had, have loved every minute! Town nights out are great, 3X union nights a week are by far the best, cheap drink deals and great sociable people.
Thank you! FND is going to miss you <3
Loughborough is amazing, there is no other way of putting it! The campus is amazing and when you get stuck in you can't help but love Loughborough more. <3
<3
The opportunities are endless; the SU offers amazing trips, volunteering opportunities and leadership changes, and of course, The sports facilities are second to none. The location is also very convenient, even if it doesn't look it on the maps!
A University which really provides everything! There are so many ways for students to get involved across so many different avenues! The opportunities are certainly there!
Incredible student experience. The amount of opportunity to further yourself in any Avenue possible is basically endless. Student support is great, the union is a hub of activity and the university in general provides a family for life. You'll never want to leave the Loughborough bubble.
Thank you! Best of luck for the future.
Great UNiversity with a great hall system to closer intergrate students with the LSU!
Union nights out ❤ are easily the best in the world
Loughborough has really given me the best years of my life! I never thought I could be so happy having met so many new people and experiencing so much in only a year. I'm so excited for the years to come and honestly hope they don't pass by quickly. Freshers was amazing, the nights out have been amazing and the facilities are the best in the country! To top it all off, the academic side is continuously improving. Can't praise Loughborough enough!
We're excited for your next few years too! You wont be disappointed.
Loughborough University has provided me with the experience of a lifetime and it's Students Union has done nothing more than ensuring my stay here to be enjoyable.
Brilliant news!
had a sick first year, before I went I heard downpoints about the town and ratio of boys to girls, didnt notice them personally!
Glad you had a great first year!
About to start secomd year and can say it is truely an amazing uni, can't fault the facilities nor the infrastruxture , sporting one of the best SUs out there
Loughborough University is truly a fantastic place to study and live. The campus is amazing and has world class facilities at every turn. There is a wonderful community feel to the place that really makes you feel at home, whilst always encouraging you to be the best you can be and try new things. There academics are friendly and helpful with facilities being constantly updated and improved. The new STEMLAB is something to behold. Having visited other unis no where else can compare for the all round experience that Loughborough can provide.
It's so great that you're taking advantage of the STEMlab!
Great university environment to learn, play + socialise! Would recommend it to all!
Having the time of my life and will be sad when my final year comes to an end. Looking forward to the future however, especially with the skills gained during my time at Loughborough and the people I've met. My course is fantastic and the University we're be supportive when I decided to change course. The lecturers are happy to help and make time for problem solving with students. It's hard work but having a great group of people and all the support you could ask for makes it a rewarding experience. I've been able to try new things and continue to do what I love. I'm not a very sporty person but have been surprised by how easy it is to get involved with sport here and how much else is on offer if you're not interested in sport at all. Volunteering has become my passion and I have met the most amazing caring people who I can call my Loughborough family. University is what you put into it and at Loughborough you will be high rewarded for getting involved.
Have you seen our postgrad prospectus? ;)
My Loughborough experience so far has been incredible and I can't wait for my remaining years!
We hope your time at Loughborough continues to be as incredible as it has been!
Loughborough University has offered me the ultimate experience as a first year student, opening opportunities to meet new individuals from around the world as well as engage with high academic studies
Loughborough is something special and nothing can really compare because in all aspects of life, whether you love sports or love Harry Potter, or you are just there for your education, it will create an atmosphere which is simply breathtaking and amazing!
An amazing place to study, live and be a part of. The facilities are World class, the teaching is excellent and the Student life could not be better! The Hall system is second to none and it is the best way in my opinion for students to get the best start to University life
My student experience at Loughborough was phenomenal. I was in awe of the first class facilities on the campus and the investment that goes into continually making sure they are first class. There are many clubs and societies to get involved with, something for everyone's taste. An all round brilliant institution.
Excellent university with outstanding first class facilities. The lecturers and general staff members are friendly and helpful which contributes greatly to the warm and welcoming community atmosphere here at Loughborough University. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first two years studying and playing sport for Loughborough and I cannot wait for the years to come!
Good luck for your remaining years Becky!
I can honestly say Loughborough changed my life. It encouraged me to get involved and make the most of all the opportunities. You learn as much from living and experience the student life at Loughborough as you do from your course. I would 100% recommend students getting involved with societies, they literally have something for everyone!
Being at Loughborough has taught me a lot. From all of the extracurricular activities and volunteering events that the SU take lead on, there are so many opportunities to improve your personal development. In terms of sport, there really is no other university that gives as much access to top class facilities and coaching. This is without a doubt the university for you if you are looking to devlop your competitive skills and get the most out of your sport. Aside from this, the teaching quality is excellent. Studying Social sciences I have had access to some of the best researchers in their fields and they are always available to help with any questions. Top class university
That's brilliant to hear!
I could not imagine being at any other university over than Loughborough. I've been here for 4 years and I will be leaving not only as a different person, but doing a completely different career. "More Than Your Course" is more than a marketing slogan, it is an ethos that every student embraces whether they realise it or not; the students' union is deservedly the best in the country due to the sheer amount that students can get involved with. I came to Loughborough wanting to go into engineering, but I'm going to leaving wanting to go into media, all because of the opportunities that the union and university has offered me.
That's great! I hope you took full advantage of LSU Media!
I have had the most amazing three years studying for my undergraduate degree at Loughborough! I loved studying at a single site campus university because the accommodation, lectures and Student's Union were all in one convenient place. This gives the campus a real buzz and there was always something to get involved with. The hall spirit is amazing and is something unique to Loughborough, which contributes to the friendly atmosphere everyone experiences when they arrive on campus. I was also impressed with the level of support I received throughout the course of my degree, particularly through being assigned a personal tutor who would regularly contact me each semester to ensure I was on track with my work. I also received tailored careers advice throughout my three years from the Careers Network who offer a wealth of free support services including CV checks and mock group interview workshops. There really is something for everyone at Loughborough and I would definitely recommend it!
Thank you! Good luck for the future!
I was afraid to move to a little town from a city, but the past two years have been the best years of my life so far. I got involved with Action (volunteering section in the Students' Union) the very first week and one-by-one I tried all sections. There are so many opportunities for everyone, from having real responsibilities of being a representative or a section head to just having a casual sing along with Stage Society. The facilities are modern and the campus is kept clean. The Careers Services helped me build my skills set and CV and they encourage students to go on a placement year whilst as university. It's a great experience and I don't regret coming to Loughborough University.
So great to hear that you were getting involved with Stage!
There is no place like Loughborough. From the very first day I stepped on to the campus to the present day, Loughborough has never failed to blow me away in some aspect. My time at this University was one I will never forget. Loughborough town may not have all the perks of a large city, but the University is like no other. Not only are there a wide range of courses for you to choose from; whatever your interests or hobbies, there is always something for you to do when you're not studying. I found myself constantly star struck by the celebrities you see on campus, spending hours in the brilliantly resourced library and labs, humbled through the volunteering and charity projects you can take part in, and experiencing some of the best nights out ever. There is a reason behind Loughborough's reputation as one of the best Universities in the country, and once you've visited it, you'll know why.
My Loughborough experience has been unforgettable! The community feel is simply like no other and the list of opportunities provided is endless. The support and facilities available from the university is world class which really does make the difference to the student experience.
Whatever you want to do, Loughborough can cater for you. Whether it's excel in academia or take part in one of hundreds of the extra curricular opportunities you will always feel at home. I spent 4 years at the university and loved every second, it wasn't even my degree that helped me get a job, it was the experiences I gained form the opportunities that they provide beside it that the employers loved.
Amazing experience from going on a RAG trip to the Arctic to playing sport for my Hall and running in the colour dash around campus
So jealous of your Arctic trip!
Loughborough is a fantastic institution with a great array of additional activities to get involved with alongside a great quality course.
I had an unbelievable experience at Loughborough University. I came to Loughborough doing athletics at national level and on to the Sports Science with Management course back in 2011. I was able to train 10 times a week alongside dedicated many hours to my studies. It is the perfect place to combine sport and academia. Despite my athletics season not going as well as I'd hoped, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the university. The facilities are simply incredible, you don't get them anywhere else! I eventually ended up playing football before I finished my degree for the university side after athletics didn't go to plan. There are so many different opportunities to get involved with, there really is something for absolutely everyone!
Hope you keep up with your sports!
I absolutely loved being a Loughborough student. From day one I knew I had made the right choice. Moving into halls with people who are now friends for life, learning about something I was really interested in, from some of the top academics in the field and having the combination of hard work and an epic social life makes me wish I could do it all over again. I am so proud of everything my friends and I have gone on to achieve.
From the moment I arrived on my first day of Freshers at Loughborough, I felt right at home. The University provided me with the most rewarding three-year experience of my life, throwing up countless opportunities left, right and centre.
My four years at Loughborough were the best years of my life. Staying in Rigg-Rut halls, I completely made the most of the true accommodation experience. I immediately felt at home. In my second year, I really came into my own when I joined LSU Societies. Here, I made lifelong friends as well as being offered the opportunity to expand my extra-curricular interests. The SU is one of the best nights out in the country. With three different clubs, there’s something for everyone. If you’re not feeling it and want to go home, that’s no problem – campus is well lit and I never felt in any danger walking back alone. It’s not all about alcohol though, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with charity through RAG and Action. Town is small, but that only adds to the community atmosphere. I loved both courses that I studied for and the standard of teaching was fantastic. I have left Loughborough with two degrees, but I have also enjoyed every second of them.
Sounds like you had an amazing time Alex!
The drop in career help is good.
The campus is massive and is full of everything you will need even a shop and some resturant. Loughborough is definitely known for its student union, which is one of the best by far. The union is open for nights out and is great during the day for help. The career services is great and easy to make an appointment and they check your CV and give good advice. There is also a parcel office where parcel can be easily be collect especially if you live on campus.
Love the university overall. I am a meme we of a sports club which is very social and a great way to meet people. The union is sound for a night out. Would recommend
Everything is perfect except Circuit Laundry
the best university, its competitive and exciting, and there's always something to do
Loughborough is the BEST. It has such an amazing community feel, you don't even have to leave campus if you don't want too.
The best sports university in the country, if not in the world, and the community that bleeds purple
Loughborough Walks On Water!
Most amazing uni ever! you become a part of the Loughborough Bubble and have the most incredible timeb
What More could you ask for from a university?!
Hands down the best choice I have ever made
<3
The campus facilities you can't fault at all it just has everything I would ever need or want, the union and the careers service are great but the internet drops sometimes.
Socials are good. Facilities are good.
The university has nailed the student experience. So much to do and very helpful staff. Leaving this uni will be very difficult!
Everything is amazing here apart from the Wi-Fi. Around campus it seems to be stronger but in Cayley its terribly slow.
I have had such an amazing experience in my first term here. From life in halls, to the course, to joining societies and sports. Although initially i was worried about it being a campus uni I have loved the campus life and wouldn't change it if i could, great having everything and everyone in the one campus, creates a really good feel.
Thanks Helena!
My overall university experience has been absolutely incredible. Loughborough has such a buzz about the campus and it really incites positivity and productivity. An amazing place to study. I'm very grateful to be a part of it.
Absolutely unbelievable, not sure why this uni isn't at the top of the top in the UK.
I can't imagine a better place to go to university. The options for charity work, travel, career, volunteering, societies and of course - sport are unparalleled. Every day is a new experience and so much fun!
Although the WiFi can be dodgy at times, the campus is beautiful and has all the facilities I need. There is also a great range of societies for all tastes
The Internet covers pretty much the whole campus, and the facilities, particularly the sports facilities are excellent. There is a huge range of clubs and societies, and the students union has a range of shops and services
Amazing university , so many sports and clubs and societies to join even if you are not sporty. Student union is amazing
Being a campus uni means everything is really close by
The student union is amazing. There's something for everyone with a variety of different music rooms on nights out. The cafes provide good standard of food as well as the shopping facilities on campus.
Amazing uni, best decision I ever made tbh
Excellent university, facilities are outstanding and the nights out are brilliant.
Every time I have required a service from the union or the university, my expectations have been exceeded
I love all the sports facilities as my course is mainly sport with excellent careers service. Can't fault it apart from possibly clique societies
excellent campus with great facilities, great student life and range of services and opportunities available.
I really can't fault loughborough, it's amazing all round!
The best campus and sports university you will find
yeah I'm not sporty so i dunno differerent experience to most`/
Facilities are amazing for my sport and the student is excellent for the socials especially FND. The WIFI has been excellent so far no issues whatsoever but i am aware some other students have had issues.
my student experience has been absolutely amazibg , cannot fault it - really good community
Overall an amazing university full of character. Great support and opportunities within all aspects of uni life.
Amazing University, can not complin about anything. Glad I came here!
Amazing campus, really beautiful and huge! Unbelievable quality of sports facilities, I'm in 3 different sports clubs and love all the opportunities! It's all open to you as long as you just go for it. Societies are just as extensive, you can make your own if there's anything you'd like in particular! Awesome students union with all the services you'd need as a student. Careers service is good: useful for exploring all possible job opportunities but for geography they do try to coax people into joining KPMG! Wifi is really good and Vodafone service is 4G everywhere! Overall a top uni
Great overall experience. Met so many lovely people through societies and socials. Everyone is so kind and welcoming
Sports facilities are superb. Student union is great but the club is sometimes too packed
The Lufbra bubble is great! It's got everything that I need right in close reach!
So much going on and top of the range facilities
You'd better bring your own baps because it's a sausage fest
Deserves to be at the top of league tables
Has an excellent balance of excellent nightlife and the academic side.
The best Uni in the UK. It has everything what you as a student need! Great learning facilities, awesome parties and many clubs/societies to join! Plus it is one of the safest towns to live in. And I fully agree with the statement that students at Loughborough are the happiest!
Awesome facilities, internet is consistent, SU is awesome
Has been voted the number 1 su in the country, most career networks than any other uni, largest campus and state of the art facilities!
