4. You’ll never run out of things to do

Coming to Loughborough is so much more than getting a degree. With over 100 societies on offer, from breakdancing to photography, and the ability to start your own if you want to, there’s literally something for everyone.

5. Unforgettable community spirit in halls

Hall life “is better than I could have ever imagined“. That’s how our student blogger Niamh described her experience. There’s something indescribable about the Loughborough hall experience; wherever you end up staying you’ll have the time of your life.

6. Living costs are low low low

It’s official – Loughborough offers a winning combination of low living costs and excellent graduate prospects. What more do you want?

7. Loughborough does pretty well in the league tables

Being one of the best universities in the UK does allow some strong bragging rights. My uni > your uni.

8. It’s hard to escape our sporting heritage

On campus, casually strolling passing Olympians like Adam Peaty and Jonnie Peacock is no big deal. If Loughborough were a competing country in the Olympics, we would have finished 17th! Or, get inspired by some of our most successful alumni, such as Maddie Hinch or Seb Coe. Whatever way you look at it, Loughborough is steeped in sporting greatness.

9. We’re ideally located for…pretty much everything

Based in the heart of England, we’ve got road, rail and air transport right on our doorstep. Loughborough town has everything you could need, all at student prices. If you want a bigger city trip, just hop on a train to Leicester or Nottingham, 15 minutes away.

10. Home sweet Loughborough…

Speak to any Loughborough student past or present and they’ll tell you all about feeling absolutely at home here. There’s just something about it – our campus is a friendly, supportive and welcoming place to be.
