An excellent institution for both personal and professional development. Every expectation of student life is exceeded when you choose to study at Loughborough University.
Thank you for your review1 We are so happy to hear you have had such a positive experience at Loughborough. - Emily
Loughborough has been such a good experience so far. The one thing that really bothers me is that teaching and examinations is done it cheapest possible ways. Most of my modules have just been seminars and then one exam. Usually no coursework, labs, tutorials or case studies.
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear you have had a good exeprience so far. Teaching styles will vary from course to course and even from year to year and module to module within the same course. Have you contacted your course representative to express your concerns? They will be able to feedback to the department student opinions. - Emily
Loughborough University is honestly a University like no other. It is both academically strong and top of the sporting world. It’s never been easier to balance my studies and training. And for those who don’t do sport, don’t fear! Loughborough is a Top 10 University in every league table for its incredible Campus, Teaching, Career opportunities and general student life. Being on campus feels like you’re part of a big family and the town is safe too!
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear you have had such a positive experience at Loughborough. - Emily
If you like engineering and do sport at the same time this is the uni for you
Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear you have had such a positive experience at Loughborough. - Emily
I wouldn't choose a different university, I couldn't think of a better, more inclusive and supportive place to study
Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you have such positive things to say about Loughborough. There are a number of university review surveys out at the moment that you can submit a response to so that you can share your experiences.
Everything is amazing, so many opportunities are offered and great atmosphere, however eduroam(the Internet service) is horrific
Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you are having a positive experience at Loughborough so far! Our IT services are always open to feedback and constantly upgrading the services available to ensure our students are getting the best support. We will pass on your comments about eduroam. Would you mind filling in the WhatUni survey to have your say on being a student at Loughborough? - Emily
Wide variety of options to keep yourself occupied. The union is great. Haven’t been required to use career services as of yet
Thank you for your review. Our career services are a great resource to get your CV checked, experience mock interviews or just for general advice. Therefore, don't be afraid to use them earlier than you may need to be able to get a head start when it comes to placement or graduate role applications. Would you mind filling in the WhatUni survey to have your say on being a student at Loughborough university? - Emily
Excellent university to go too.
Thank you for your review. Why not take it one step further and fill in the WhatUni survey online to have your say about being a student at Loughborough? - Emily
Excellent university and academics however poor student life as out of only studies
Thank you for your review. Have you explored all the activites available through the Student's Union? With so many clubs and societies there's something for everyone. Why not fill in the WhatUni survey too so to have your say on life at Loughborough? - Emily
Everything is overpriced for the students who already lay load fee of 9k.
Brilliant! Wouldn't change it for the world.
Thank you for your review. Why not take it one step further and fill in the WhatUni survey online to give your opinion on Loughborough University? It will only take a few moments of your time. - Emily
Amazing student life and teacher support
Thank you for your review! Fill in the WhatUni survey online to have your say on what being a student at Loughborough is like! - Emily
Everything you could ever want from a University (except maybe another library and additional seating during exam periods). Other than that amazing!
We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your time at Loughborough! Have you explored other places to work across campus than just the library? Plus why not fill in the National Student Survey to have your say and give suggestions for change. - Emily
Fantastic Uni, great lecturers. Just a shame the standard of some of the halls lets them down.
I am having a great time at Loughborough university, good location and course is good.
Thank you for your review. It's really good to hear that you are having a positive experience at Loughborough. We hope you continue to but should you need support student services are always on hand to help out. - Emily
Still a fresher, I do wish they were more welcoming to International students.
Thank you for your review. I am sorry you feel this way. Have you explored our Students Union to see what clubs and socities are on offer? You can also always chat to our Students Services for advice and support. - Emily
I can't fault my experience at Loughborough. Facilities are constantly being built or renovated to improve our learning experience! There are so many things to get involved in outside of just sport, but the sport is also great. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had whilst studying here and the experiences I have gained through completing a placement year as well as being part of a sports club. I now look back at when I applied to uni and can't believe I ever considered anywhere else.
Hiya, Thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear you had such a positive experience at Loughborough. Don't forget to check out our Alumni Association for when you graduate so that you stay in touch with all going on at Loughborough including our sports events. - Emily
I didn't even hesitate giving 5 stars across the board for Loughborough University and can honestly say I've had the best 4 years of my life studying here. I felt it excelled in every aspect of university life with a thriving Student Union, world class sporting facilities and so many career opportunities, I feel Loughborough stands a league above the rest. Choosing to study at Loughborough will be the best decision you'll ever make.
Hi there, Thanks for the review. We love that you've had the best time of your life here, that's what we aim to provide for all of our students. We're also glad that you've gained great career opportunities. Don't forget that you can still access the Careers Network for up to three years agter graduation! -Priya
Choosing Loughborough was the best decision I ever made! I was heavily involved with a sports club, which added to my experience ten-fold, giving me awesome opportunities to compete. I've come away with life long friends from this club (and Loughborough in general) and our alumni regularly come back to visit, which I think says a lot. Being in this club allowed me to be on committee, which grew my employment chances ten-fold, not just through the skills I learnt (which were related to my course) but because Loughborough are brilliant at recognising the hard work of their student volunteers by giving out awards, which boosted my CV. Sport and the night life gave me the ability to balance working hard with playing hard. Ultimately, Loughborough invests in its people and have now made me a full-time employee in a Marketing role within sport, which shows you the opportunities available both as a student and alumni of Loughborough.
Hi, Thanks for the review! We're pleased to hear you took advantage of the sporting opportunities here at Loughborough. It will probably come as no suprise that we were voted best university in the world for sports-related subjects. (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019) -Priya
Loughborough University is an excellent teaching facility, offering an amazing balance between high quality education, fulfilling extra curricular activities as well as your social life. It truly makes you feel a part of one community.
Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We're pleased to hear that you really felt like part of the #LboroFamily. -Priya
Coming to Loughborough has been the best decision of my life, not only did I make lifelong friends, but I met my partner of 11 months there. It is such a lovely place to be.
We're delighted to hear that you've had such a great experience whilst stufying with us!
Some of my best memories are from here! Truly a world class uni
We're glad to hear that you had such a great time! Thank you for this review! Tendo
I mean it's a great uni until you need them to do any admin for you, especially with the engineering schools.
Hi We're sorry to hear that this was your experience with us. We're always looking for ways to improve so if you've got the time, we'd appreciate you sharing more of your feedback with us at emailus@lboro.ac.uk Tendo
An amazing uni with so many opportunities outside studying for your degree
Hi vezbenson Thank you for this great review! Tendo
Lovely place, find my course is unorganised and possessed rude and unhelpful lecturers. Also the History course was more politics and IR than history at times.
Hi We're sorry to hear that you felt this way about your course. Each year we try to improve the way all of our courses are delivered and we manage this through our module feedback portal that is completed by our students at the end of each semester. If you do have any queries relating to how this works then please contact studentsurverys@lboro.ac.uk Tendo
Amazing campus and very welcoming, but not much to do outside the university campus. I found it quite restricting and couldn’t enjoy myself as much as I would if closer to a city. While the campus is great, there isn’t much good nightlife and the same for in the town.
Hi 1srburnett Thank you for this review, we're delighted to heat that you found our campus environment very welcoming! There are many initiatives that are being put in place in the town of Loughborough to make it a place that people would want to come and visit, this includes the introduction of new shops and restaurants/bars! Be sure to come back and visit when you get the chance! #lborofamily Tendo
Being an international student, Loughborough University exceeded my expectations. I feel at home and no wonder it is The Times’ University of the year
Thank you so much for the review. We're glad that whilst studying as an international student you still felt at home! Tendo

it’s a campus university so there is a sense of a community
Hi alonn We're glad to hear that you enjoyed being part of the #LboroFamily! Tendo

Fantastic university the best 4 years of my life, highly recommend.

Just finished first year and it's great! Lecturers and all staff in general are very helpful. Accommodation is great too. Brilliant facilities all over the uni, especially powerbase gym!!
Hi, Thanks for your review! We loved hearing that you had a great first year, and took advantage of our wonderful sports facilities. -Priya
Loughborough is one of the best universities, never seen such an amazing campus; the staff are so helpful and the union is incredible!!
Good university with great facilities provided you are not on a course that is part of the school of Arts, English and Drama which clearly gets no attention in terms of funding as its always the last department to get new facilities (also if you're doing fine art/graphic design be prepared to spend a lot of money on materials such as Adobe software/clay/inks/paper as the uni doesn't provide them for free) and is basically not cared about enough to advertise/promote on social media. If you're interested in studying anything else though its wonderful from what I hear.
Hi, Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that you felt this way. Please contact emailus@lboro.ac.uk, if you’d like to discuss this further. -Priya
Brilliant university, don’t regret a thing
Hi member941389 We're glad to hear that you don't regret your decision to study with us and that you're enjoying your experience at Loughborough University! Tendo
Absolutely love it! There’s not one student on campus that doesn’t think this place is brilliant.
Amazing sports and societies for a range of interests. Facilities are very good and lots of green space all around the campus
Great campus, could be somewhere better for the graduation ceremony.
My experience hasn’t been amazing! I have loved every minute at university with so much going on on campus you never get bored and there are always people around
Hi member441343 We're delighted to hear that there was always somthing for you to do whilst studying at University! Tendo
The best uni in the world for sport and the rest.
Hi kaneo88 Thanks for the review! Did you know that 12 of GB's 67 medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics were won by Loughborough University athletes?? Tendo
Loughborough University lives up to its reputation, facilities are unbelievable for all aspects, whether that’s academic use or sporting use, the standard of learning is high and to top it all off the campus is beautiful, would recommend it to anyone that is considering it!
Only just finished first yeah but it was the best year of my life
Hi SamBranney Thanks for the review! I'm sure you'll find that the years to follow will be even better! Tendo
The uni only cares about reputation and how much money they can make out of specific sports.
Hi member1341257 Thanks for your review. I'm really sorry to hear that you feel this way. It would be great to find out more about your experience in halls so we can try and make improvements for future students. If you've got time to share your feedback with us, please contact us at emailus@lboro.ac.uk Thanks Tendo
Stunning campus with one of the best student unions in the UK. Hall culture adds to the experience and allows everyone to get involved in sports, volunteering along with other sections. Lecturers have a passion for what they teach which makes lectures engaging and enjoyable. Overall, a great experience which I do not believe I would get elsewhere.
University is amazing!!! Extremely impressed with the amount of societies and clubs and I adored the union and the offers it presented during first year.
Hi member641249 Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear that you found what worked for you whilst studying at Loughborough University! Tendo
The university has an amazing students union. All the halls are amazing at organising activities and events. There’s always a sports match to watch. Facilities are great
The most welcoming place ever, fresher year is incredible you are really looked after and by other students so they can relate! The transition to independence is smooth you don’t feel like you’ve been thrown in the deep end. The campus helps this as you have all your friends around you and all halls are walking distance and you have a committee and then you gain more independence by getting a house next year. Overall 10/10 experience
Hi member441226 Thank you for the review. Its great to hear that you enjoyed your experience being part of the #LboroFamily Tendo
Amazing place to go- family feels
Hi member941206 We're delighted to hear you felt welcomed to be part of the #LboroFamily! Tendo
A fantastic campus university with a wonderful family atmosphere offering everything any student would need. Facilities ✅. Union ✅.
Hi member1041176 We're delighted to hear that your needs were met whilst studying at Loughborough University! Tendo
A true home away from home, somewhere that will always hold a special place in my heart, where friends turned into family , lecturers into friends and somewhere you’re accepted as an individual
Hi SLA How great to see you felt at home whilst being a part of the #LboroFamily! Thank you for the review! Tendo
There is so much opportunity at Lboro, things to cater for everyone’s interests, the support available and careers service is also good, opportunities to work for the uni and fit it around study is also very good, I love that everything is on one campus and easily reachable, the all round uni experience is amazing. academically strong with amazing teaching and facilities.
Hi member641158 Thank you for this amazing review! We're glad to hear that you had such a great experience studying at Loughborough University Tendo

Hi member941157 We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience studying at Loughborough University! Tendo

Hi Christina19988 We're delighted to hear that you love being a part of the #LboroFamily! Tendo
It’s the loughborough bubble, you forget about everything outside during term time and probably won’t want to leave
Great people, warm community vibe, perfect student town location.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - we really appreciate it! We're glad to hear you feel that the #LboroFamily has a warm community vibe to it!- Priya
Eduroam isn’t great but oh well
We're sorry to hear that you've had this experience with our Wi-Fi network. The good news is that the University has invested £3million into upgrading the cross-campus Wi-F - so you should see improvements. However, you can always pop into our PC clinic, based in the library, to get support and advice on your personal devices. (It's open seven days a week during term time!)- Priya
I love Loughborough university and would never change it for the world
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it. We're also incredibly pleased to hear that you love the University as much as we do!- Priya
The campus has everything I need, being a good location and distance from town. I've been involved in various sections such as Action and Sports.
Thanks for the lovely review! We're pleased to hear that you like it here at Loughborough University. Did you know that our East Midlands-based campus was voted as 'One of the Nation's Best Green Spaces' (Green Flag Awards 2018/19)? - Priya
Overall, Loughborough compared to other universities I’ve visited is like a whole new world with the best facilities, student experience and people around to help
Hi there - thanks for the great review! We pleased to hear that you feel like you've had the best student experience - it's what we aim to provide! In fact, we were voted as having the Best Student Experience in the UK (Times Higher Education Survey 2018). - Priya
Loughborough is a great university with fantastic facilities I make use of everyday. The clubs can be quite expensive and wifi could be improved
Hi! Thanks for leaving a review. We're pleased that you like our facilities! The pricing of clubs can vary from one to another, as it depends on the equipment required for certain activities. That being said, we have a range of clubs & societies to suit different budgets - these can be viewed here. In regard to the WiFi - the University has invested £3million into upgrading the Wi-Fi network across campus, so you should see some improvements here. Alternatively, we do have a PC Clinic, based in the library, that offers free support and advice for personal devices. It's open seven days a week during term time too! - Priya
Best decision i ever made to come here.
Hi there - that's brilliant news! We love that you enjoy being a part of the #LboroFamily!- Priya
The campus is rather pretty and green. The flowers and blossom in spring is a bonus. All the facilities are on the actual campus ( very convenient ) but I would recommend to make sure you leave the campus every so often... otherwise it can feel claustrophobic. I don't really go out that much to the student Union but from what I can tell it's ok. the nightlife in Loughborough isn't exactly "legendary". Something I would like to make clear is how the university has treated me like family. They supported me when I was going through some difficult life experiences and accommodated them in my studies. On my course, architecture, the tutors have been exemplary in regards to supporting me. Obviously if you like sports Loughborough's great for that. One thing it's not great for though is reliable Wi-Fi on my phone but the wired internet is pretty good. 100mbs up/down with a ping of ≈4ms It's quite a well layered university and can cater to many individuals.
Hi there, thanks for leaving a review! We think it's great that you love our campus. Did you know that our campus is the same size as 250 football pitches? - Priya
It's a top uni. I've visited friends at other universities and the experience at Loughborough is hands-down the best. The SU is especially good, although wifi in the union is sketchy!
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We love to hear about our students' experiences! You can find out more ways to get involved with the union here. In regards to the Wi-Fi, the University has invested £3m in upgrading the Wi-Fi network on campus - so some improvement should be seen. - Priya
ordered a quiet room, neighbour been playing loud music at night 5-6 days a week for the past 7 months and nothing of value has been done to stop him apart from "don't do it again johnny! you naughty boy!" at least most module lecturers are great, but living on campus is a gamble I will never be willing to make again. Few too many exams were taken on sleepless nights.
Hi there, really sorry to hear that you have had this experience. Should you wish to discuss this further, please contact emailus@lboro.ac.uk, and we can put you in touch with the right people. - Priya
Amazing societies! Halls not always that welcoming but it depends on your luck, some are lush, but overpriced.
enjoyed my time at Loughborough
If you are a free-thinking, creative individual, this university is not for you. Full of jocks and individuals who’s only salvation of their week is a night in the student’s union. An atmosphere full of intense toxic masculinity and hypocrisy. However, if you love sports, lad-culture and drinking.... this is the university for you beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Hi there. At Loughborough, we try our best to cultivate an environment of inclusivity, we're sorry to hear that you feel your experience did not live up to this. If you wish to discuss your concerns further, please get in touch via emailus@lboro.ac.uk.
I really enjoyed my time at Loughborough University! Despite thinking I didn't want catered halls when I first visited at the Open Day, staying in Towers Hall was the best experience and it definitely helped me to integrate into the #LboroFamily quickly. There's lots to do on campus, and if you ever get bored, big cities are not far away on the train.
I had an amazing time at Loughborough University. It was one of the best experiences of my life! The Union has so many different things you can get involved with whether that is sport, societies, volunteering or fundraising. I would recommend this University to anyone!
Thanks for the feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your time here. You can take a look at all the ways you can get involved with the Alumni Association here. - Priya
Honestly a very very poor experience of a university. More of a school than a university, with poor teaching staff and academic facilities. The sports facilities look good, though limited. For example, you can only use Powerbase gym at certain times of the day/week, even though you are paying a lot of money for a university priced gym. My accommodation too was terrible; small, falling apart and extortionately priced. I wouldn't recommend this university.
We're sorry to hear you feel that there have been issues with your experience. If you contact us via emailus@lboro.ac.uk, we'll be happy to discuss your concerns further. Powerbase gym is where our elite athletes train and does have restricted access at certain times as listed here on the website. There is also the Holywell Fitness Centre on campus, offering unrestricted access during opening hours that might be more suitable for those looking for more flexibility with access hours. - Priya
For now, I am enjoying the Uni very much
Hi, thanks for the review. We're really pleased to hear that you're enjoying your time here!
My time at Loughborough Uni has been the best 4 years of my life. Coming to university a few years late was daunting but I have never looked back. Halls in first year allowed me to really get involved with events and make friends from all courses. My course (Graphics and Illustration) has been hard work, but the tutors are so supportive and inspiring. All clubs and societies are exceptional, tasters sessions really allow you to try new things. The campus is my favourite part of my uni experience, it really is beautiful, safe and has everything you’d need. I love the energy around campus everyday and the family feel. Lboro town is not huge but has the necessities for shopping, drinks, food, cinema or a game of laser quest. The opportunities to work at university really open doors and allow for part time money income. Erasmus also helped me massively financially when working abroad in my placement year. I’m approaching graduation, I’ll be sad to leave lboro, the uni and the people.
Hi there, thanks for the lovely review. We're genuinely happy to hear that you enjoyed your time here so much. The good news is that you can still be a part of the LboroFamily long after you've graduated. Find out how to get involved with our Alumni Association here.
Fantastic student experience. Very supportive atmosphere.
I have had the best first year at loughborough, every aspect of the University is better then I expected.
Hi there, thanks for leaving a review. We're pleased to hear that you're settling in well! -Priya
Had the best years of my life here, couldn't ask for any more
Hello! Thanks for leaving a review, we're really glad that you had such a good time at Loughborough. The good news is that you can continue to be a part of the #LboroFamily even after you've graduated, check out the alumni website to see how you can keep in touch. -Priya
The apartment is incredibly spacious , with a great layout. The service is brilliant, all faults reported are attended to ASAP, and if they require an external contractor to do the work, you will be informed regarding the delay. It was overall, a wonderful student living experience
Hi. Thanks for leaving a review. We're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed living in student accommodation here at Loughborough. - Priya
Its an awesome University and plenty to do - but its a single site campus so if you are looking for a bigger city, this maybe isn't the place for you. Loughborough was my insurance and I am pleased I came, but I coming from a small town myself, it would have been nice to enjoy a bigger city vibe. Needless to say, Nottingham and Leicester are nearby so I have enjoyed visiting these two when I can.
Hi there. Thanks for leaving a review. We're really glad that you got involved here at the University. Loughborough is a small town, but as you said, there's lots of stuff to do here - on and off campus. We have excellent transport links too, so you can get the most out of the nearby cities when you're here! -Priya
Initially I was overwhelmed by Loughborough - the people, the sheer amount clubs and societies, the sporting prowess donned in the African violet .. but everyone is so welcoming that it took me no time at all to settle in. I quickly found my home within the Students Union, making the most of my free time volunteering for Soup Kitchen and projects with the Elderly as well as joining three societies (Christian Union, LSU Sing and Shakespeare Society). I made friends quickly and discovered that I really never wanted to leave the campus for the fear of missing out. Now well into my first year, I am thoroughly enjoying life at Loughborough and feel I have made the best decision.
Hi, thanks for the review. We're excited about all of the ways that students can get involved here at Loughborough, and we're really glad that you've settled in! You can read more about the ways that you can get involved here - if you aren't too busy! - Priya
5* experience and a 5* University. I am thoroughly enjoying my experience at Loughborough and I just wish that it never had to end! My typical day differs from IMS Hockey, to LSU Yoga classes, to dog walking for the local dog shelter to a fancy dress social for my hall. I am always busy and constantly being offered opportunities to develop myself and grow as a person. For example, I am also a Student Ambassador for Loughborough which is a casual role that helps me inspire other students to think about this university and HE as a whole. Through Loughborough, I have gained so much confidence and am now comfortable public speaking and communicating with large groups - something I was terrified of doing before. Loughborough has made me who I am today and prepared me for the world.
Hello! Thanks for the review. We're really happy that you're taking advantage of all the opportunities that Loughborough has to offer. We hope that you continue to have a great time here. - Priya
Loughborough University is situated in the East Midlands and is one of the largest single site campuses in the U.K. When I was looking at my University choices, Loughborough was the only one where I felt home - I liked the atmosphere from my first visit and students on Open Days seemed passionate and proud to be a part of it here. Now it my third year studying in the Business School, I am glad I made the decision to come here. I am excited to be part of the Loughborough experience and am pleased with the progress I have made towards my career goals - with the support from an amazing careers service and placement team in my department. Still unsure? Just look at #LboroFamily on twitter and see the THOUSANDS of tweets about this experience.
Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We love that you've had such a great time here. Loughborough always endeavours to make sure that our students feel safe, secure and at home on campus. You can read more about the steps we take to ensure this here. - Priya
If I would summarise my Loughborough experience in one work it would be unforgettable - I made unforgettable friendships, had unforgettable nights out, took part in unforgettable challenges with Rag and Action and had three unforgettable years studying for a degree I am proud of. Loughborough has an ethos where the students are the heart of the University and that is apparent from the way that the Vice Chancellor knows your name and will greet you like an old friend. We are support in our learning and given a voice to make changes where we feel necessary. I am able to celebrate my faith here, be a proud LGBT woman and enjoy all the things that are important to me whilst getting an award winning education. Loughborough will always have a place in my heart and for anyone waiting to start their university journey ... just go to Loughborough.

My experience here was fantastic and I can highly recommend this institution.
Loughborough University is a top-class University full of student opportunities, career development and lifetime friends and family. I am an alumni now but still thankful for the education I had at Loughborough that made me who I am today.

Much of what was learnt on the course I never used when I was employed within the sports industry. Work placement support for Sports Technology students was non existent. TLDR: It's very difficult to actually secure a job withing the sports industry. Those who did were mostly those who achieved at least a 1st. Although employment rates may be high, they fail to inform you that most graduates after studying Sports Technology, are not employed within the sports industry. Over half of my class ended up in completely different careers. I think this is mostly due to the sports industry being very competitive. Even with work placement experience within the sports industry, wouldn't necessarily be enough to secure you a job within the sports sector. Even for entry/graduate levels roles, I have seen job specifications requesting at least 1/2 years working experience, which is quite ridiculous.
Hi, A full range of services is offered to graduates within 3-years of graduation including appointments, events and careers fairs. After 3 years graduates can still access our online resources, view our vacancies and attend our events. The Sports industry can indeed be highly competitive, but the breadth of knowledge and skills developed by students studying the Sports Technology programme should enable graduates to move into roles related to their course or other suitable opportunities after graduation. If you would like further advice and support to help you move forward then please get in touch or visit our dedicated webpage for graduates.- Priya
