Loughborough University Accommodation 2018 - FAQs

OP

Original post by debrameaden

I've firmed a conditional offer from loughborough university and if I was to go, I would live in student accommodation. Thing is, I'm not entirely sure I will be accepted into the course as there's a chance I won't get my predicted grades. Now, I heard that you have to put a deposit down on student accommodation sometime soon, I'm just wondering
if I don't get into the course, will my deposit be refunded? Or will I not be able to get that back? Thank you!

Hi debrameaden,

You won't have to put a deposit down until your offer has been accepted :smile:

Hope that helps!

Alex

Hi futuredesign,

There isn't really a best hall option depending on your course - it's all down to personal preference.

With that being said, Butler Court is right next to the design school. This is self-catered and holds a selection of rooms, including en-suites.

The design school is also next to Towers, which is catered with shared bathrooms.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

I'm an Erasmus Consortium Programme student of Loughborough. I need to arrange my accommodation between 18th of June and 17 of August (For 2 months)
I'm confused for chosing the place. There are many choice for students but there is only annual fees for accommodation on the webside for Erasmus students although I need only two months fees. Where can I found student "Halls of Residence" monthly fees?
(http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/accommodation/prospective-students/erasmusandstudyabroad/) How can I learn how much do I have to pay for accommodation and also for deposit during my summer internship period?

I have one more choice for short stay visitors (University Lodge). This is also couraged with meal (breakfast and evening meal) But It's
£196 per week. It's a bit expensive but I wont have to think about cooking. What do you advise me to do?
http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/accommodation/short-stay/lodge/

Is there a student community which helps incoming students? For example, I had a volunteer buddy who is steered from University in my last Erasmus. this person helped to arange some of our vital works.

If you help me to answer my questions, I will be pleasured,

Thanks,

İrem

Hi capricciioo
Our accommodation team can give you information about that too and put you in touch with private landlords that work in partnership with us so that the accommodation is up to standard.
Other than that, I can't recommend anyone, it would be a case of looking online and seeing what you can find.

Hope that helps

Hey, normally you sign up your interest in accommodation, however actually applying for specific halls only happens after you get an offer.

Ahh this is why Loughborough is good, as it effectively connects with their students on social media

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to share a room with a friend. We have both received and confirmed out conditional offers as firm, if we were to apply for twin rooms- would it be possible to arrange it?

Thanks

Hi Kinda2,

Some accommodation does offer shared rooms - Harry French and Butler Court for example, but you would have to discuss it with them individually. If you drop them an email at [email protected] then they will be able to give you more information.

I hope that helps,

Alex

Hi Shahbaaz,

The following link will give you an idea of the application process for accommodation: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/accommodation/prospective-students/undergraduate/apply/

As you are firmed conditional, you're looking at applying in June.

You will be contacted by email about this, but if you're worried there's also an announcements page here: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/services/accommodation/announcements/

Hope that helps,

Alex

Hi danieldl12
Congrats on your unconditional offer :biggrin:

The closest halls would be Falk Egg, Butler Court, Towers however, halls in the student village aren't far away either.
Have a look and see if you'd want catered or self-catered and your budget and make your decision based on that.

You'll always be placed with at least a couple of people on the same/similar course, but there are also many social events both by hall and by department at the beginning of term.
Here's some info on the halls:
