Culture and community

There is a real sense of community and family at Loughborough University, and our Faith and Spirituality Centre provides a peaceful place for our students to come and reflect, explore and express their faith and spirituality. It’s a place for you to pray, meditate and to meet others. You’ll find that both our London and Loughborough campuses are very inclusive.

Both London and Loughborough have a variety of shops and restaurants offering a range of cuisines from around the world, including a variety of oriental stores which sell a wide range of asian food. Although Loughborough may only be a town and not a city, there is an Oriental Store in town (located opposite the Rushers bus stop), and there is also an aisle in Tesco with the name of “World Foods” which you can go to stock up on food such as cooking-sauces and rice. It is also rather simple to buy through online oriental stores as some may provide next-day deliverys right to your doorstep!
