I chose to study at Loughborough University as the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering has an incredibly good reputation, offering me great academic prospects. I also liked that Loughborough is a campus-based university. Since graduating, I have found that being a Loughborough University graduate has a great reputation within industry.
The teaching quality at Loughborough is exceptional. The adoption of new technologies and software is rapidly making the construction industry more efficient. The School’s computer labs have cutting-edge software, which has provided me with a head start now that I have graduated.
Some of my best memories at Loughborough actually happened in the Pilkington Library on campus. I remember having a team project due the next day, and everyone was working together to get it done. I think in those moments are when you best bond with your course mates.
When I was looking to do a placement, the University provided me with a list of companies to apply for, including a company synopsis so that you could make an informed decision when choosing where to apply for. This helped me find a company that best fit my values.
