The Times Higher education awards are out and the winner for ‘best student experience’ is Loughborough; that means that their students rated the lecturers, the courses, the social life and the student union higher than any other place in the UK. Last years winner was Swansea.
It seems that the extra ciriclua activities and the social life is what won it, that in combination with high levels of satisfaction for academic standards. Cambridge came second in student satisfaction, followed by third place St Andrews.

Apparently some new universities also put in a good performance, with the universities of Chester, Portsmouth and Central Lancashire coming in the top 30.
