Thank you! Same to you if you are applying. Nope not yet If I get an offer then I'm going to visit it
Have you been?

I am a 3rd year (of 4) so just ask on this forum if you have any questions; there are loads of helpful current students on here

So in answer to your question yes I have been but like you I didn't visit until I had my offer.

I hope you will like it

If you don't mind saying, what would you say is the best thing and worst thing about the university itself, and then the town as well

how much of a chance do I have to get into loughborough uni, doing a sports science course. I am currently doin a btec exteneded diploma in sports development, fitness and coaching. i am expected DDD (distinction) will i be considered the same as the people with a levels? thanks

I'm a first year at Loughborough. Incredible place for sports and everything but social life consists of 99.9% clubbing and getting drunk. The majority of the people here are way too immature for me but I made some great friends. Studies are also incredibly easy - they go very slow with the material, it's about the same as A levels (at least for my course)

Overall, I'd reccomend.

Best thing is the campus & facilities; everything you need in one place including a great union. Pro-active lifestyle so most people exercise/do sport regularly even if like me they aren't particularly talented at sport. You never look out of place going for jogs around the town!

The hall system is brilliant here and its very easy to make like-minded friends. The vast majority of people I've met here have been great.

Worst is a difficult one; as there isn't anything that springs to mind that you wouldn't get at other universities of a similar ilk, and that isn't to do with my specific course.

The town is good; admittedly the big-city nightlife here in Sheffield is obviously better in terms of what Loughborough can offer; but it's cheap, cheerful, a good laugh and at the end of the day more than adequate for a university town

Hope that helps keep the questions coming in!

Er yeah that hall is usually full of "rah's" etc ditto Rigg-Rutt, and Falk Egg is the worst in my view in terms of facilities.

I'd go for something inbetween such as Harry French, Bill Mo, Faraday, Telford, Cayley etc.
