Loughborough Accommodation

Hey! I am starting at loughborough in September and hold an unconditional offer so can apply for accommodation on the 4th. I've spent the past year working so that I can afford the nicer accommodation, my first choice will be Claudia Parsons.
Can anyone who has stayed there, or knows about it tell me what it is like please? My biggest concern is that it will be full of sporty people as a number of the rooms are reserved for performance athletes with longer lets. I am not sporty at all so am worried I will find it harder to make friends if I am nothing like the people in my flat.

Thank you!

Hello and sorry for the delay - I was unfortunately unable to easily access the wider site for a period of time.

Claudia Parsons (or CP for short) is currently the latest accommodation built on campus (although planning permission is due to be sent for a new accommodation to be built soon).

It's a lovely place - nice big kitchens and good sized rooms. It won't be full of sporty people (i.e., Elite Athletes). Block 'A' is reserved for those people.

It won't be hard to make friends!!

CP is very nice, it has a “sporty reputation” like you said, but there will be plenty of people in the hall that don’t consider themself sporty. Getting involved in the hall or in societies, or even being more social with your course mates are all great ways to make friends - so do not worry
