I chose to study at Loughborough University because of the incredible league table rankings, and when I attended an Open Day, I could see why it has so highly rated. It was different to any other universities I had visited, and I could immediately see myself studying there. I loved the green open spaces on campus, the fantastic teaching facilities, and the extensive opportunities for sport.
I’ve always enjoyed maths and physics, and I love solving problems, so I had decided on a career within construction from early on. I originally attended an Open Day at Loughborough University to look at some other courses in the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering, but during the Open Day, I also attended a talk about the Architectural Engineering course and I immediately knew it was the right fit for me.
The course was brand new and seemed very exciting. I loved that it was an engineering course but also involved aspects of architectural design. The lecturers were very enthusiastic about the course and by the time I finished a tour of the engineering laboratory, I knew I wanted to study Architectural Engineering at Loughborough University. One of the main attractions for me at Loughborough was the outstanding facilities, particularly the large engineering laboratory with a huge variety of top-quality equipment.
