I studied subjects like entrepreneurialism in post-conflict space, taught by David Roberts who is also a pioneer of accessible teaching methods for dyslexic and disabled students. I carried out a project on gender differences in micro finance repayment rates, giving insight into how entrepreneurship can help people in developing countries grow themselves out of poverty. I even applied this to part of my interview at Microsoft where I gave a presentation on the impact technology can have on ending world poverty through the enablement of sustainable entrepreneurship. An area I hope to work in, in the future.

The atmosphere around Loughborough has always been the thing that has most appealed to me. I know a lot of people will say Loughborough is a sports university, but to me it more of an environment where everyone is trying to continuously improve themselves - you'll be surrounded by people who are passionate about things and it is a really positive environment to be in as we all push each other to be better. 

Loughborough has a great student experience, not because we have one way of doing things, but because there are so many different opportunities to get involved in. You have a real opportunity to tailor your experience to what you are interested in, for example, I took up evening classes in French and trained in Kickboxing. My advice is to explore your interests, be prepared to try new things and push your boundaries by taking yourself out of your comfort zone.

Studying at University is very different to studying A-Levels. At University you are expected to develop your own arguments and question things more often than at A-Level. You are not expected to understand everything straight away or have all the right answers. Often, it is about thinking about how concepts relate and developing ideas over time. So, make sure you relax, ask questions and give yourself time to be confused, because that is a huge part of the learning process.
