It\u2019s normally hard to find anything that really sucks here at Loughborough because it\u2019s just an awesome uni. It literally is one of the best uni\u2019s out there right? We all know it! But unfortunately there are a few things that totally suck at Loughborough University\u00a0that grind some of us student\u2019s gears and can ruin our day. Here are some of those things below!<\/p>\n
Loughborough\u2019s campus is beyond enormous. It definitely sucks when you have a 9am lecture but it\u2019ll take you about half an hour just to get there. What\u2019s worse is when you have lectures at different ends of campus with only ten minutes between them! How do they expect us to make that in time, really?<\/p>\n
The weather in Loughborough is something else. It\u2019s so bipolar and can never make up its mind. One minute you\u2019ll be strolling through campus and it\u2019s lovely and sunny and the next minute it\u2019s grey and you\u2019re practically in a hurricane. It seems to always be windy in Loughborough as well, you can\u2019t go five minutes without having to move your hair out of your face.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, and unlike most other universities, we don\u2019t have much in the way of wild nightlife. Our union is our main source for nights out because the town, let\u2019s face it, isn\u2019t brilliant. There\u2019s echos and firefly which can be decent. Revs which can be far too expensive and that\u2019s about it. If you\u2019re looking for a sick night probably best to head over to Notts or Leicester.<\/p>\n
We all get that a lot of people feel the need to cycle to get to lectures and around campus. But do they really need to practically run us all over that choose to walk?! You don\u2019t need to watch out for cars too much on campus just the crazy cyclists. It\u2019s even worse if you\u2019re driving through campus and you get stuck behind one of these people. It\u2019s almost impossible to overtake them so you just sit there at 5mph and get a rage on.<\/p>\n
Our campus Wi-Fi really does test the patience of most of us. It will kick our devices off randomly, sometimes it just won\u2019t load and other times it\u2019s just not there to connect to. It always seems to play up around deadline day or the exam period which of course is a stressful dilemma to be in which can lead to multiple breakdowns.<\/p>\n
A lot of us have regular training that needs to be done in base but of course you\u2019ll stroll in to see the place is packed. Why did you not check online first to see how many people were in there first?! It\u2019s always a race to the machines or an awkward conversation with a randomer to see if they are finished using it. The place only seems to be quiet at weekends but that\u2019s when most of us are competing or more likely hungover from FND or echos. And you definitely won\u2019t change to Holywell!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you currently live or have lived in central campus halls, you\u2019ll most definitely have experience the boiler breaking down multiple times. This means your hall is without hot water or heating. So you can\u2019t shower and have to go round potentially smelling of last night\u2019s alcohol and regrets to lectures, oh the shame. In the summer this can be worsened by sweat and then in the winter you\u2019ll freeze to death in your room.<\/p>\n
Yes, I go to Loughborough Uni. Yes, I do sport but no, I do not study Sport and Exercise Science. Literally, if someone hears you go to Loughborough they will automatically ask if this is what you study. Our uni does offer other worthwhile degrees other than this it just seems no one outside of the bubble seems to know this.<\/p>\n
A lot of uni\u2019s elsewhere in the country are lucky enough to have a reading week. Whilst this is meant to be catching up on work we all know these students just go out and get smashed. Unfortunately for us here at Loughborough we do not get this week so we are forced to fall behind on work and not go out quite as much. What\u2019s worse is that we can\u2019t even enjoy our Christmas holiday because of exams. Seems the lecturers hate us or something. Pretty certain Durham and Cambridge don\u2019t have January exams\u2026<\/p>\n
How expensive is everything in these shops though right?! Do they not realise we are poor students in thousands of pounds\u2019 worth of debt? We just want food that we can afford when we are hungover and dying. I don\u2019t want to have to fork out a tenner for a meal after I spent \u00a330 at FND on shots and VK\u2019s.<\/p>\n
