Hello

This thread is for all 2021 applicants who have questions about our accommodation here at Loughborough, here are the most common FAQs answered in the drop downs below.

There are a lot of answers on the University Accommodation webpages too, but feel free to ask here if you can't find what you need. Don’t forget – this is just a guide. The most up to date information is on our website, but this will give you a good idea of what to expect.

The Accommodation Centre has a great list of FAQs that are worth looking at here.

If you make Loughborough your firm choice and apply for accommodation before the end of July, we will guarantee you a room in University hall accommodation (you’re not guaranteed your first choice of room, though.)

If you are an international fee-paying student and you meet the criteria above, we will guarantee you accommodation in the same hall for two years of study provided you apply for your accommodation before the January deadline of the second year.

From early June you will be able to register your request for University accommodation – you'll be emailed nearer the time with information about this.

Catered
7 of our halls are catered. Catered halls doesn’t necessarily mean that all of your meals are provided. There are some that offer 10 or 15 meals a week which cover Monday to Friday.

If you wanted meals at weekends, you’d have to go for a catered hall that offered 19 meals per week. Cooking facilities in catered halls are limited, but they do normally have a kettle, microwave, fridge and toaster.

Mealtimes are set, so if you’re not going to be around at lunchtime because of tutorials or lectures, you can order a packed lunch and collect it that morning. Take a look at our Why Go Catered page, it's quite useful whilst deciding on a hall.

Self-catered halls
9 of our halls are self-catered. Self-catered halls gives you more flexibility in terms of when you eat. It does mean that you have to do all your cooking and shopping yourself!

All self-catered halls have full cooking facilities including oven, hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster.

There are various room options available – here’s what they all mean:

Without wash hand basin - bedroom only
Standard - bedroom with wash hand basin
Twin shared ensuite - shared bedroom with own bathroom
Shared ensuite - bedroom sharing bathroom access with one other person
En-suite - bedroom with own bathroom
Studio - bedroom with kitchenette and separate bathroom
Self contained flat - single or double, bedroom with separate kitchen and bathroom
Accessible – adapted bedroom for students with disabilities
