The main thing I would say is for you to get involved as much as you can. By being involved with both departments you can take advantage many opportunities that come your way such as being a course representative to being a Peer Assisted Learning Facilitator which both have allowed me to develop many skills throughout my time here.
In addition, there are many lecturers that are at hand to offer advice and help whether that be personal or academic related. I know by taking advantage of this I have developed not only my skills academically but also my general confidence has increased aswell by having this involvement.
The social atmosphere on campus is great, whether that be during the day around lectures or to the student union events. There is something for everyone which allows for such a great atmosphere on campus, as we all are part of the Loughborough family.
One of my favourite things about being a Loughborough student is the level of support you receive while being here. I always feel like the University goes above and beyond to help through the problems that arise throughout a university degree and there is always someone on hand to talk to. This has been especially evident through the pandemic, where I received calls/meetings around the height of the pandemic before the summer exams to just simply discuss how I was feeling and coping with the situation as it was at the time.
