I studied Maths, Physics, Art and Product Design at A-level. On results day, I did not meet the requirements for my first-choice offer of Mechanical Engineering BEng at Loughborough University. Although I secured a place at my insurance University, I realised I was determined to study at Loughborough, so I chose to apply through Clearing.
Attending Loughborough University was something that appealed to me very early on because of the glowing recommendations from my friend’s sister about her experience here. After researching University league tables and visiting the campus on an Open Day, my interest was firmly secured. The campus instantly felt like home and I was particularly excited by the opportunity to explore the Wolfson School workshops and learn more about the course from the academic staff. The presentation about the undergraduate courses at Wolfson was fantastic
When I received my results, I immediately phoned Loughborough University as I researched that they had places available on the Product Design Engineering course. I was on the call for around 30 minutes before I was offered a place and I have never felt so excited.
Understandably organising accommodation after securing my place in clearing meant there was not the same choice of University halls available but reassuringly there were still options. Living in Towers would not have been something I would have initially chosen but now I think it was a blessing. It has been an amazing experience.
