  • No doubt the union represents a good class, they arrange events three nights a week which comes every time something new. They always support the students and recently the wifi has been updated for the outside area and that is providing great service.

  • The Loughborough is the best university and most preferred by students but the service of the Wi-fi connection is very pure at the campus.
