Beautiful campus especially during summer, great bus service, just not much to do in the area or town and there is a very bad "lad culture" as there are so many sports boys. Get harassed every night out so had to stop going to the union all together as firefly and revs have better staff and 0 tolerance policy and its easier to stop people when there isn't a sea of people to control as they let wayyy to many people into the union.
Thank you for your review. I'm really glad to hear you've enjoyed our beautiful campus. I have made the Students' Union aware of your feedback as we both have zero tolerance policies on any form of harassment.
Good facilities on campus and great knowledge in the field of sports. Lots of opportunities to volunteer in various fields of sports. Good support from LSU staff.
Really pleased to hear you like our campus, particularly the sport we offer here. For sport updates from us, don't forget to follow @LboroSport.
Its a nice university. I really like the campus and the different study spots. Also there's usually cool activities and events going on.
Really glad to hear you like the campus, we're really proud of our big campus and the Loughborough community here. Our Students' Union also has lots going on, find out more here.
The university is the best choice for sports related subjects.

Small town so not a lot to do. If you meet the right people you’ll have a good uni experience
Thank you for your review. Loughborough isn't a big town so we always try to make the most of our fantastic Students' Union and the community here on campus. You can learn more about it and find societies to join here.
Nice looking campus and great facility
Really glad to hear you like our campus! We're proud of the facilities we have to offer here at Loughborough so it's great to hear you enjoyed them.
Decent uni but in the middle of nowhere and flaky WiFi
Thank you for your review. Really glad to hear you like the uni! As a single site campus, we try to ensure everything you need is on site - you can learn more about what our campus has to offer here. Thank you for your feedback on the WiFi, we will pass this information on.
Options across the university are seemingly endless however certain aspects could be improved including how ims sports are ran as well as the prices in the student union.
Thank you for your review, really glad you liked the options here. Thank you for your feedback on the prices at the union.
Amazing sports school, a lot of sports available for everyone even non-competitive
Really great to hear you enjoyed the sport offered here! We try to offer something for everyone and we're really glad you found that to be the case.
Best place to be for sport and sporting degrees, fantastic facilities and wide range of societies.
Thank you for your review. It's brilliant to hear you enjoyed our facilities and societies.
Loughborough University is honestly unique in its own right. Once you step foot on campus you understand what a great sense of community there is - that’s the main thing about the Loughborough experience. The campus is a great place to work, whilst a lot of the buildings are admittedly quite drab, a lot of money has been spent on developing the inside - the facilities for learning are good. Sport is a key selling point for L’boro, even if you’re not that into sport, there are always opportunities to get involved, and you can book one of the many pitches/courts/rooms available to play with friends in your own time. Some of the student halls on campus are (very) dated and the standard/aesthetic of halls, especially those built earlier on, is quite poor… however this is not a deal breaker - what makes your hall experience is the people, and I guarantee you will overlook any mundane furniture when you meet your flatmates.
Thank you for your review, really glad to hear you've enjoyed the sense of community here - that's something which is really important to us! It's great that you've enjoyed the sport here too, we try to make recreational sport accessible to everyone here at Loughborough. Sorry to hear that the halls weren't quite up to scratch - we will pass the feedback on.
A well rounded university, with unlimited resources students can develop in both a professional and social manner.
Thank you for your review! It's great to hear you're enjoying it here and that you're pleased with the resources. Our facilities are something we're really proud of :)
Amazing university for sports facilities and academics. The accommodation is of varying price range, and some are modern.
Thank you for your review! So glad to hear you're enjoying our sports facilities, we're really proud of them.

So glad to hear that you're enjoying the University, particularly the atmosphere - our Students' Union does a brilliant job of making the campus a great place to be!
I love this university for its opportunities to join almost any sport at almost any level. The teaching could be better in some areas.
Thanks so much for the review. Great to hear you enjoy all the sports opportunities we offer. You can take part in so many different sports, from absolute beginners all the way to elite level.

Some dead uni but I’ll allow them Cah they are sometimes nice

Good and friendly environment.
Thank you for the review, glad to hear you're enjoying it here! Take a look at our campus life info to find out more about what it's like to be a part of Loughborough University.
Campus is great but the union really lets it down. Getting rid of a popular room in the union has made capacity smaller which wouldn't be a major issue if there were more clubs. The union really let's down the uni
Hi, thanks for the feedback and it's good to hear that overall you're enjoying the campus. Sorry that you haven't had a great experience with our Students Union. They are always open to feedback - you can contact them here. Hopefully you'll find that your experience of them changes for the better!
Pretty fun, pretty cool, great
Really glad to hear you're enjoying the University! Hopefully you've already discovered our Students' Union, but if not take a look as they have loads to offer.
It's a good university and there are a lot of services to help with any problems like maths etc, also the library is very useful and there's a wide variety of societies.
This is great to hear! We're glad that you're making use of our Mathematics Learning Support Centre. Our Academic Language Support Service is also there if you need any guidance on academic writing skills. We want every one of our students to succeed in their studies and are here to help you accomplish your best work!
All the facilities I have used have been of great standard and the more communal areas are especially taken care of. The wifi around campus is standard for doing work but can sometimes be slow or not connect straight away. There are so many more societies and clubs than I could imagine and there is always something happening at the union.
This is nice, thanks! If you're having trouble with your Wi-Fi then you could get in touch with our IT Services department - sometimes there is an easy fix :)
Brilliant experience, incredible campus, incredible culture around community, excellent facilities

So glad to hear that you're happy with our facilities! We're very proud of the School of Design and Creative Arts and the incredible opportunities that they provide. You're learning from the best!
Nice and broad campus the only downside is it’s exhausting to walk from one side to another for unsporty people, would wish to see more shops and restaurants in or around SU
Thanks for your feedback! Have you checked out the campus bus service? It's very regular and might help you if you want to move around campus and town more quickly. There are more shops and restaurants available to you in the town too.
Due to corona virus I was not able to fully utilise the facilities the uni had to offer and meet all the people I potentially would have met in first year, how ever second year is allowing me to do just that.
Really happy to hear that you're finally getting a true university 'Freshers' experience even if it's now your second year with us! Thanks for the feedback.
I love the fact that it’s a campus - there is a real community feel!
Thank you for the review, we love how much of a community feel the campus has too! Have you checked out our Students' Union? We think they do a great job of bringing everyone together.
The atmosphere at Loughborough University is unparalleled as you can get a sense of the great community just from walking through the library.

Great Uni with great facilities
Glad to hear you're enjoying the University :) you can find out more about our facilities here.
As a first year student I have limited experience in Loughborough University but it is quite apparent that the campus is well managed and the rest of the facilities is great.
Great level for sport but most lectures are online for my course (geography)
Incredible facilities, amazing opportunities for sports, so happy to be here
This is lovely to hear, we are so happy that you are enjoying our facilities!
Great Campus environment with Excellent facilities and Demanding / Rewarding work.
Glad that you are loving our campus! We're sure that your hard work will pay off for you.
great sports facilities and campus
Thanks for the review! We love our sport facilities too :)
Quite stressful, depending on the course you are taking. Would be beneficial to have some more days off in between semesters.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you are finding it stressful. Have you spoken to your lecturers/Personal Tutor about how you're feeling? We have excellent Health and Wellbeing services too if you need some extra support. Take care!
Has great facilities and there’s something for everyone to do.
Good to hear that you're enjoying our facilities!
Having a blast, great environment and greater people, the students Union is amazing, fast WiFi so no worries of disconnection.
This is so nice to read! We are so proud of our Lboro community and agree that the Students' Union is fantastic. Keep an eye on their social media accounts as they often advertise their events on there!
Very enjoyable experience, great sport facilities
Happy to hear you're enjoying your Lboro experience!
Loughborough has a great standard for teaching but unfortunately there could be more done in the way of social presence
Hi, sorry to hear that you feel our social presence could improve. We are happy to listen to any suggestions! In the meantime you may want to check out the societies that our Students' Union has to offer. They are always advertising new events too and if you give their social media accounts a follow you'll stay updated.
Good facilities and opportunities on campus with pretty good support throughout. Little do do outside of campus and often not a lot going on/advertised.
Hello, glad to hear that you are enjoying campus life. For things to do outside of campus you could check out Event Brite as often there are events advertised on there. There is also the Town Hall for shows/concerts. If there is nothing local that interests you then Loughborough has great transport links to Nottingham and Leicester - there are always things happening in the cities!
It’s a friendly environment with lots to offer. Especially if you play sports. The societies are way too many in number. The halls are great and so is the safety and security. It’s a wonderful experience and it’s like a town in itself.
Thanks for this, we really love our community feeling on campus and we are glad that you're experiencing this too. Also happy to hear that you feel safe - it's so important!
Great Uni very nice and just amazing
Ahh that's lovely, thanks!
Very good uni, great for sports. Student union is main club which is good, Nottingham very close so nights out there are easy.
Thanks for the positive feedback! We love our Students' Union. And our strong transport links to Nottingham makes it easy for you to enjoy city life too!
Loughborough University is the place to be when it comes to finding a good study-life balance. Not only will you be able to focus on your studies, there are a wide variety of opportunities to play sports. The student union also hosts many outstanding events throughout the year.
A healthy work/life balance is so important and it's great to hear that you are experiencing this with us. Good to know that you're making use of our outstanding sports facilities and Students' Union too!
As someone who isn't particularly involved in sport. I have found that Loughborough has a lot to offer overall. I have found that my experience of things like freshers has been a lot better than my friends at other unis. I have also found the academic side of things well organised and easy to engage with.
This is great to hear! Our Students' Union worked so hard this year to make sure that you didn't miss out on the true Freshers experience so we are glad that their efforts paid off. Make sure you check them out on social media to see their upcoming events.
Loughborough University, honestly a solid 10/10. Everything about this university is great ! If you like some challenge and healthy competition and these are skills top firms are really looking into these days in potential clients, then I would say Loughborough University is meant for you ! So why waste your time debating on whether loughborough or not, head straight to your UCAS and make this a firm choice. Can't wait to see you!
Thanks so much for such a positive review! We are really proud of what we can offer here, particularly in terms of your employability and future career prospects. Make the most of our Careers Network - they give really valuable advice.

Loughborough has great facilities not only for sports but for education, the uni also has so many things going on to allow people to get involved and make new friends. The uni allows you to have fun as well as get good grades and do well in your studies
This is lovely, thanks for sharing with us and it's so nice to hear that you're having fun! The Students' Union always has events on and one of the many benefits of campus living is that you're within walking distance of pretty much everything you need. It saves you time which you can spend revising and socialising!
I love that there’s a sense of community everywhere.
We are really proud of that too! Thanks for the review.
I am an international student and I have received so much support and help during my quarantine period. The community here is so diverse and friendly. I had no problem assimilating.
Hi, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so happy to hear that you have been made to feel welcome!
Amazing sports facilities expected of a number 1sports uni in the world. Dissatisfied with online lecturers being hard to understand and follow.
Hi, we're happy to hear that you love our sports facilities. As far as online lectures go, we'd recommend you getting in touch with your lecturers or personal tutor to talk through any issues you're experiencing. Everyone wants you to have the best possible time here!
Loughborough university is good
no internet for my phone in the evening
Sorry to hear you're having WiFi issues! Our IT Services should be able to sort those out for you if you reach out to them. We are really invested in our internet services and continually work to improve them. We know the value of a connected campus!
too expesnive, the campus is very big and take long time to walk aaaaaaaaaa
Thanks for the review. There are buses on campus that you might find useful, they are very regular and can take you into the town centre too. Bigger campus = more to do!
The sports facilties are great and their website 'learn' is a great resource
This is nice! A lot of work has been put into 'Learn' to make it as user-friendly as possible. Glad you're experiencing the positive results.
it is a university kinda ok lol
Loughborough's a student friendly uni with a culture and vibe which is ideal for most. It's state-of-the-art facilities, especially from a sporting context, allow aspiring athletes to continue to compete at a high standard alongside boosting their studies. The focus and support on optimising your career after university has also been impressive.
Ahh thank you so much for such a positive and detailed review! We work really hard to make our students feel at home and supported so it's good that it is coming across.

The university is the best for any course and for sports courses it is the best. Its ranked the best for student’s experience also
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We are very proud that Loughborough University is consistently ranked in the top 10 universities on UK league tables - and has been named as the best university in the world for sports related subjects for five years running!
A big part of the camaraderie extends from the sporting team spirit that many students are proud to be a part of. Having the largest campus in the UK means you get the benefits of socialising and organised classes as well as distinct nights out and trips to town.

Great campus, amazing sports facilities, very high quality education and student support. There are a reasonable number of club nights and some cool societies here to join, there’s also the LU motorsport team for those interested in racing and engineering.
Sounds like you’re having a great, all-round experience. Thanks for sharing 😊
