I always wanted to attend a university that could offer me high quality teaching and allow me to develop in my sport. Loughborough University offered both world-class sporting facilities along with top lecturers and doctors who are leaders in their field. I also wanted to be part of a campus university so that I could really experience university life.
Loughborough University is first in the world for sport for a reason. The facilities, from the lecture rooms and labs to the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, are incredible and very advanced. The teaching quality was amazing, too. Being taught by lecturers who were top in their areas with years of experience really helped me to engage. Their love and passion for the subject was obvious and their teaching was second-to-none.
Looking back on my course, I thoroughly enjoyed kinesiology in second year where we learnt about the muscles in our bodies and how they all work together. The labs were amazing - we were able to see the structures of muscles up close and draw on fellow students with a pen to bring the muscles to life!
