When our students enrol they automatically become members of Loughborough Students’ Union. Located on the Loughborough University campus, LSU gives students access to a huge range of rewarding activities and societies. The union also provides support with student welfare, advice and information.
The LSU building provides easy access to a range of facilities including a coffee bar, shop, restaurant, hairdresser, pub and optician. It is also home to a 4,000 capacity nightclub which hosts events throughout the week. Visit www.lsu.co.uk to find out more.
Whether your interests include culture, art, music, faith, film or gaming, LSU has a society for you.
