I read about the university online when looking at top engineering universities in the UK. I chose to study in Loughborough both because of its reputation. I came across several websites and alumni reviews, all of which talked about the academic excellence of the university. Also, I was pleased to see the amount of connections the university has with well-recognized industrial names. Furthermore, my mathematics teacher in my high school had also studied at Loughborough and she also said that the university provides wonderful engineering courses.
