The WUSCAs are a national awards programme based solely on the views of real students studying in the UK. Each year, the Whatuni team typically verifies around 35,000 reviews submitted by students, either during on-campus visits or through the Whatuni website.
The annual awards celebrate the incredible work carried out by higher education institutions across the UK and give prospective students access to honest, unbiased information when deciding what and where they would like to study.
In the Facilities category, students praised the strengths of Loughborough as a campus university, with a highly multicultural and inclusive community that helps students quickly feel at home. Reviews also highlighted the “super convenience” of having halls of residence on campus. Sports facilities were another frequent mention, with Loughborough recognised by students as having some of the best and most comprehensive facilities in the country.
Alongside this recognition, Loughborough also placed in the top 10 UK universities for its Students’ Union, with one student commenting: “The atmosphere is lovely and the support is easy to access.”
Speaking on the WUSCA results, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education and Student Experience, Professor Sam Grogan, said: “At Loughborough, we pride ourselves on providing outstanding facilities to students, understanding that campus is a huge part of their student experience. To be recognised as having the best university facilities in the UK is a great privilege and I would like to thank all the students who voted for the university this year.”
