LizzieM 9,511 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Student food? Our boys went to Loughbough Uni. We bought a house in the town when the eldest one started there and kept it for 9 or 10 years. We spent a fair amount of time in Loughborough during the summer, re-furnishing and general maintenance on the house. What we did notice was that the town centre was pretty dead during the summer, bit like Lenton and Beeston maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
