What separates Loughborough University from all other universities is simply the excitement, thrill and enthusiasm that you will encounter throughout the year.

You'll feel right at home from the day you arrive, and will be welcomed by all of us here the best hall around – Robert Bakewell!

Robert Bakewell was finished being built in 2009, so it has only been around for year or two at the most! Since then, with the hard work of the union and the two first ever hall committees, it has propelled itself into the elite, being renowned for it’s banter, hall spirit, and a great community! In our first year of 2009-2010, we started many traditions and habits, and we look forward to making even more traditions with you! We’ve been ranked in the top 5 of almost every section which you will definitely come into contact with your stay here, ranging from Rag (charity), IMS (inter hall sports), Action (Helping the Community) and Media - which did an awesome job on the Welcome to Robert Bakewell Hall video in HD below!





We have an absolutely fantastic freshers fortnight in line for you, and you'll have the time of your life! Have a cheeky peek on our Facebook Group - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=107514282608255&ref=ts or on the calendar of events below, which has brief information up till Christmas!
