My Loughborough experience
The support and facilities have been amazing. During my first year, I had bad mental health. I went to the freshers bazaar where I picked up a mental health and disability support leaflet. This helped me to easily get in contact with them.
I had several appointments with them throughout the year and they were extremely helpful. I got diagnosed with autism in February and the disability team quickly added it to my student records and reached out to me with accommodating suggestions such as extensions of deadlines and exam adjustments. These can be changed and altered at any time.
The Women's Engineering Society held a talk with engineering graduates from different disciplines which gave me insight into some of the different fields I could pursue. I also joined the K-POP society where I had the opportunity to learn new dances every week which was a lot of fun.
