I decided to apply to Loughborough because the facilities provided by the University, support from the prospective supervisors and different student support services that ensure a good student experience all influenced me to apply when I was researching where to study. I didn't attend any events - my research was totally online. The reviews for the universities on different portals such as the Complete University Guide and the QS Rankings were most helpful in making my decision. Additionally, the availability of people from Loughborough Students' Union to talk to, especially the doctoral student representative from Wolfson School, was the biggest help in understanding the University better.
