Studying at university doesn’t just extend to what you’re learning in your lectures, but the entire experience itself is so important for how you develop both academically and as a person. Just as much as everybody is there to study, the opportunities don’t just extend as far as the department. There are so many things to get involved with around campus, from societies and sports to fundraising and action projects, if you can imagine something there is probably a group of students doing it. I’ve joined a lot of different groups over the course of my degree, from the AU Frisbee Club, to the Harry Potter society and the British Red Cross society I feel that I’ve been able to find where I fit in and meet some amazing friends along the way.

My favourite thing about being a Loughborough student is being part of the Loughborough family, you can really feel an atmosphere of collaboration and togetherness. I think that extends not just from the course, but the entire university experience. In all pursuits, it’s a combined effort and everybody is there to work together and grow. You definitely hear it a lot around campus and it’s quite difficult to describe but everybody I speak to about it knows the feeling!
