Welcome to Loughborough! Loughborough University has won many awards for the best student experience and this year is no exception. We have made sure that Freshers' Week is as event packed and unforgettable as possible. I Hope you're ready cos its about to get crazy up in here!
FAQs
Q. WHAT STUFF IS PROVIDED IN THE FLAT?
A. You get a microwave, kettle, toaster, hoover, mop and broom for the kitchen and a desk lamp and chair for your room so dont bring any of that stuff
Q. WHATS THE SITUATION WITH THE INTERNET?
A. Harry French is connected to Hallnet via the university and therefore we get a rapid connection speed. The connection isnt wireless but if you want you can provide your own wireless access point.
Q. HOW MUCH STORAGE SPACE DO YOU GET IN THE KITCHEN?
A. On average you get 2 kitchen cupboards, 2 shelves on the fridge and half a freezer shelf - so be careful allowing your parents to stock your freezer on freshers arrival day

Freshers Always Forget
- Posters/photos/road signs and stuff to cover blank walls
- Entertainment for those sober nights in e.g. dvds
- Extension lead, you only get 2/3 plug sockets in your room
- Laundry bag and loads of 20p and 50p coins for the machines (doesnt accept 5 or 10p coins)
- Alarm clock for early 9am lectures
- Freshers flu remedies – Paracetamol, cough sweets, the ability to man up
- Dressing gown and flip flops
- Coat hangers for wardrobe
- May be useful to bring an electric fan as rooms can get hot!
- Any clothing which could be used for fancy dress. Think school/army/beach/118. (Exact details will follow as to what themes are on certain nights, view the freshers week schedule for this information)
- £60 Hall-subs (If you havent paid it on the Loughborough e-pay server)
Hall subs pay for things such as providing you with many free-of-charge socials, being able to keep the common room up-to-date and fun to use, and also to fund different areas of Harry French such as Action and RAG. It also goes to buying t-shirts for you and freshers packs that come free. £60 may seem like a lot, but once you see what you get for it, you will know it was worth it
