My favourite thing about studying at Loughborough is the atmosphere. Especially in summer, the vibe in every corner of the campus is so good – everyone is in similar spots enjoying the weather and the sport.

To anyone who is thinking about studying at Loughborough, the most important thing to remember is that everybody is going to have their own unique university experience, so do what you want to do, branch out and meet as many people as you can, because this is the best time of your life. 

If you’re wanting to do a Foundation Year, don’t underestimate the work you have to put in! Also, definitely make an effort to get to know your lecturers and course mates because you will bump into them all the time throughout your time at Loughborough. 

I plan on doing postgraduate medicine back in Dublin when I finish my degree. Coming from a different country, I’ve noticed that people have subtle nuances in how they operate, so learning from this slightly different culture gives me a new perspective on how to go about things on and off the pitch. I know that being at Loughborough will be the very best time I will ever have in my life for sure.
