I’ve asked some of our LSU Media’s Exec to find out what their advice is to freshers this year and what they would recommend in Loughborough.  What accommodation were you in and what did you like the most about it? Chris Leroux, LSU Media Vice Chair: I was in Royce Hall and I loved the community aspect of the Hall. Pride in Royce was paramount to my experience there. Lucie Lewis, LCR Station Manager: I was an outlier and never actually lived in halls. In my first year, I lived in town with two guys I’d never met before. They weren’t…

Weekly Coronavirus cases have decreased for the first time in 4 weeks in Loughborough, with just 25 more individuals testing positive in Loughborough, down from 36 the week before. 25 positive cases were confirmed last week across Loughborough, of which none were located in the Loughborough University area which covers campus accommodation, William Morris Hall and the Old Ashby Road area.

A student who posted a racist Snapchat story berating other ethnicities has been suspended from the university before the first semester has even started.  The student, who shall not be named, posted a Snapchat story of him saying racist remarks about his flatmates.

The screenshot of the Snapchat story has circulated around Twitter, with currently over 1500 retweets and…

Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, Kate Green MP, has called for the government to consider pausing the return of students to university while on BBC Breakfast this morning. In the interview, Ms Green acknowledged that there were many students on campuses across the country already, but for those that aren’t “the government should consider whether it makes sense to pause the migration to university”. Students isolated in their halls and flats will be desperate to be home with family & friends for Christmas. Today I called for mass testing for covid so they’ll know they can travel safely pic.twitter.com/xpoke7aLWv — Kate…
