Our Campus & Accommodation

Our superb single-site campus is the University’s most glorious asset, measuring 440 acres in total (equivalent to 7,040 tennis courts or 250 football pitches). The campus itself has a lively atmosphere with more than 20,000 students and staff from over 130 different countries. There is a strong sense of community and a real buzz, just what you would expect from a university that continues to be popular in national and international student polls.

Within close walking distance, you will find open spaces, gardens and sports pitches, to academic buildings, Loughborough Students’ Union and our halls of residence. Our campus is a self-contained world of its own and is easily negotiated on foot or bicycle. The shuttle bus that runs across campus every few minutes is handy for getting around too – especially on rainy days!

We’ve also got bars, a nightclub, restaurants, laundrettes, a hairdresser, a medical centre, a pharmacy, a taxi rank, two gyms, shops, cafés, hotels, dining halls and so much more. The most unique thing about Loughborough’s campus is the sense of community spirit that defines it. It’s the perfect environment for our students to make new friends and immerse themselves in different experiences.

Sustainability

We pride ourselves on being a green and sustainable campus. It is home to a large number of different species and plants and provides a wonderful and diverse habitat for wildlife to thrive. The campus is home to 7,500 tress, two ancient woodlands and an apiary where around half a million bees help to produce our famous Loughborough Gold Honey. We try to embed sustainability into everything we do at Loughborough and we work with students and staff across the University to promote awareness with campaigns and activities throughout the year.

Accommodation

There are 16 undergraduate halls of residence here at Loughborough, all of which are on (or very close to) campus, with options to suit every budget and catering preference. If a student makes Loughborough University their firm choice and registers for accommodation before the end of July, we will guarantee them a room in University accommodation. International students from outside the EU are guaranteed hall accommodation within the same hall for any two years of their undergraduate study.

Our team are here from the moment a student accepts their place at Loughborough and makes their accommodation choices, to when they move in and the whole time they are living in University halls of residence. We also offer support and advice for anyone who is looking for accommodation in Loughborough town.

Each room contains a bed, storage, desk, chair, shelves and a noticeboard. Students will also have access to laundry facilities, bike storage, a common room, and the internet, plus the support of a fantastic Warden and Hall Committee team who ensure that hall life remains supportive and fun for everyone. All of our accommodation options offer a safe, secure and friendly environment. From day one students become part of the hall community and begin their own Loughborough experience.
