Loughborough Students’ Union (LSU) is the best in the country. There were a huge range of clubs and societies to join whatever your interests. Loughborough is known for its famous athletes, but the best thing about sport at Loughborough was that you can join in at any level.

I joined the Wado Ryu Karate club as a beginner in my first year and became part of the committee in the following years. As part of this I represented LSU at national competitions and even organised our own tournament – something I would have never thought possible. As well as meeting some of my best friends at the club, being part the committee helped developed essential “soft” skills, like time management and organisation, which will enhance my employability.

Elizabeth graduated from Loughborough University in 2015.
