I knew I wanted to come to Loughborough very early on, my sister was a student at Loughborough and graduated in 2014 and from that point I saw it as a place I would love to study at too. So, when I was picking universities during my A-levels I was set on Loughborough. I loved the atmosphere and busy campus; I also loved the modules available in my course.
The best thing about my course was the variety of modules, there was a mixture of language and literature modules and then within this, there were both creative and more structured modules. I liked the variety and the different choices; it gave each student a chance to cater their degree to what they are interested in.
The facilities are another element that drew me towards Loughborough, the study and teaching spaces are up to date and spacious, there were a mixture of more social and quieter spaces to work. I have enjoyed being taught by every lecturer I have had; in the English department the lecturers have gone above and beyond throughout my degree. I had lecturers willing to help me with personal and academic issues and were great at giving advice, The English lecturers knew names and faces, and this meant the teaching could really be catered to us, this is one thing I loved, being able to approach the lecturers and they know you and help you in any way they could. This was something that my friends at other universities said they didn’t have, I liked having the freedom to speak to my lecturers openly.
