I live quite far away from Loughborough so the first time I was able to visit was for my Interview Day. I wanted to hate it because I did not want to be so far away from home but as soon as I entered Loughborough Design, I knew Loughborough was where I wanted to be. I was star struck by the facilities and building, but what really impressed me was how inviting everyone was. Even though I was there for a scary interview I did not feel too terrified because the staff and student helpers were so friendly.

The lecturers are all experts in different areas of design- it was really comforting to know that there was always someone I could go to for help in a certain topic. It meant that my projects were well-rounded because I could get advice from service designers, sustainability researchers, inclusive designers etc all under one roof. The lecturers are always happy to help and really take an interest in the work you are doing which is great.
