Return to halls

Why leave hall life behind? Keep the convenience, community and support of halls while staying close to everything that makes Loughborough university life so good.

Don't want the fun of living in halls to end? It doesn't have to. Continue the Loughborough experience in halls and make the most out of your time at university.

With hall events and a range of sports, societies and socials on your doorstep, staying in halls is an easy choice for many of our returning students - especially as lectures are just a short walk away from your bed!

In halls, all bills are included, so you never have to worry about managing rising bills or the responsibility of renting your own house. With frequent cleaning from our lovely halls team, 24 hour security, and the opportunity to stay in catered halls, you can sit back, relax and focus on having a fantastic university experience.

Cayley

"I returned to halls even when my flatmates didn’t, and it was absolutely the right choice for me. Had I followed what everyone else was doing, my second year wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good as it has been."

"I felt so at home living in halls that it simply felt right returning to halls for my second year. Socially, halls are perfect. Halls also benefit me academically as I am just minutes away from my lectures and I spend so much time at the library, so it’s wonderful that it's so close to my bedroom!"
