Ok Thankyou
Starting Loughborough in Oct 2022?
- Thread starter mum?!?
- Start date
Yes we went to an offer day but we could t look at any accommodation just the campus tour. Thanks for the advice I think there are prices for 2021 on their website so will look at that and try get them in order a bit. Thanks for the advice
Thankyou and agree just got to spend some time looking into it all and keeping our fingers crossed
All the prices are on the website, I believe all halls are at least 39 weeks so they are allowed to stay over Xmas and Easter., Falk Egg is the cheapest, single 6' 3" beds, good sized room but kitchen is a bit small. Shared bathroom, self catering, very sociable. About 20 min walk to engineering or take the free shuttle.Hi my daughter has just firmed Loughborough as first choice for architecture engineering just wanted to pop on and say hi. My head is spinning from all the things we need to know and I feel out of my depth you would think Iām going uni
Note that it will be an extra week or two if they go for Freshers as that isn't included in the web prices.
And talking of accommodation and prices. If they want to move to private housing next year then expect to pay a deposit in second term of year one to secure a place and that private rents are usually 52 weeks from July to June. So will be paying while they aren't potentially there over summer.
Iām guessing someone will be in contact re freshers have no clue about that at the moment
Yes, will get Freshers details once they have accommodation as moving in dates and Freshers varies slightly by hall but expect to be moving in around 3rd week of September.
My daughter has just firmed too - to do architecture. Iām excited for her and just wanted someone to tell!Hi my daughter has just firmed Loughborough as first choice for architecture engineering just wanted to pop on and say hi.

She will have a great time. Time to focus on her exams.
visited today before A levels.
if you arenāt aware, you can take a self-guided tour round the campus any time!
Went to see Computer Science Bldg, was amazing on such a hot, sunny day. Beautiful grounds, EVERYONE we came across was friendly, helpful and full of advice. All say ā dont panic its fab hereā. Really like one big family.
All very casual, skimpy tops and shorts today! very different to 6th form business wear!
Looking at accommodation i thought Telford was 1 bldg, C Parsons was another on-lineā¦ but each one has a group of bldgs around either a couryard, bbq/picnic area, etcā¦ these become your Halls. Freshers get a t-shirt for their hall, so first week youāll know. anyone wearing red is from my group of bldgs!!! Great for shy people like my son. Was also reassured that most rooms are pretty quiet after 10pm. Although friends can visit each others halls, after 10pm their card only works in their own hall. so no invite, no way in
each Hall has subs for using common room and arranging events. this is optional but gets them mixing with others.
bus is free within campus and you pay to go into Loughborough town and back, but on site free to hop on/off every 5 mins.
clean, tidy, safe campus.
There are 16,000 on site so must view it like any town. if u leave bike chained up overnight it is likely to disappear, so use lockable bike sheds.
so excited for our kids, going to be amazing.

Sorry Just seen aww thats amazing I am sure they will cross paths as they do alot of content together. Best wishes for her exams
My understanding is by end of May so next week. I rang accommodation about a month ago to ask a question about something else and thats what they said. I hope that helps. I have no idea what/where we are thinking of going tbh so much choice. may have to be lucky dip on the day lol
Thank you. I was just afraid we had missed the link from them.
Just a quick couple of point. if you are looking at computer science then its all in person however there are still some courses which have some lectures online. If this is an issue then check with the uni.Went to see Computer Science Bldg, was amazing on such a hot, sunny day.

Rooms are generally quiet during the weekdays but as you would expect it can be noisy Fri and Saturday and like most student accommodation the walls aren't very thick. And the key cards I are restricted to individual flats which is good. Be aware the side gate near Falk Egg which leads to The Holt also shuts at 10pm so you will need to walk from the main entrance if leave/return late. Not a biggie but adds about 15 minutes to your walk.
The common room also has the laundry rooms so they can use other laundry rooms during the day but if doing laundry later on when its quieter then they will have to use their own. This did affect my child as at one point 2 out of the 3 washers were broken for a couple of weeks in his common room.

Hi my daughter has accommodation in The Holt (due to study psychology)1. do they run shuttle busses to this hall as the spirit bus does not appear to go near there ? 2. Are the hobs induction? 3. Is she supposed to have paid a deposit as she has not been asked for one (she has been checking each day for emails)
