Whether you’re commuting from University of Nottingham or residing in the East Midlands, Loughborough’s academic calendar may differ significantly:

• Most notably, Summer Term at Loughborough ends mid‑June, similar to Nottingham, but Spring Term is shorter (ends in March vs Nottingham’s typical April).

• Knowing these dates helps for housing planning, coordinating resits or travel, and syncing with tuition and rent cycles.
