About

Waterways

Features Canal side accommodation Waterways is home to 179 students. Whichever room you choose, you’ll have a private bathroom all to yourself. You’ll share your kitchen and lounge with a small group of flatmates, which makes Waterways a friendly and sociable place to live. There are sofas in your reception area, which is great for meeting up before heading out to lectures or into town. Next door, there’s a 24-hour gym that offers great rates for students. Perfectly placed for the centre of Loughborough, Waterways offers canal-side living in a location that’s just 20 minutes’ walk away from the Loughborough University campus. Situated by the Rushes, it’s easy to make the most of living in Loughborough. There’s a large Sainsbury’s supermarket across the road, and you’re just a short walk from Market Place and Baxter Gate, home to bars, restaurants, shops and an 8-screen cinema.
