Nearly every university offers Psychology as an undergraduate course, so I viewed a number of universities when deciding which to apply to. However, only Loughborough University gave me that ‘being at home’ feeling, I think largely because of it being a campus university with lots of green spaces.
As Loughborough is a campus with a great town located close by, I always felt completely safe both on and off campus. It always meant that friends were close by even after they moved out of halls, and the amenities were handily located for walking back or grabbing the campus bus.
On the Open Day I attended, my department was full of enthused lecturers who evidently enjoyed being at Loughborough University and the job they did or research they completed, so they made it an easy choice.
The lecturers and support staff I interacted with whilst at Loughborough University were great and always happy to support, either on the work I was completing or questions about life post-university. The Ergonomic labs at Loughborough are amazing in terms of what they offer for practical research; for example the ability to experience arctic temperatures or the atmospheric changes at the top of Mount Everest!
