I chose to study at Loughborough University because it was ranked highly for History and provided a good variety of modules. It was interesting to see that I could do more than European and Russian history at university.
The added benefit was that Loughborough is connected to two major cities, Nottingham and Leicester. Being from London, it made the move much more familiar and comfortable.
Throughout my time at Loughborough, I have been able to get involved in recreational sports such as badminton and netball. Although you have the option to join one of the sports teams, it was nice to just meet new people whilst playing the sports I love for fun.
During my final year, I took part in our charity organisation LSU ACTION and was involved in multiple local community events.
