The social atmosphere on campus is brilliant! There are many societies and clubs where you can meet people who share the same interests. Everyone is very friendly, and you don’t have to do a sport to feel like you belong in the University. There is also a friendly society called the Globe Café, which helps connect international students to make their Loughborough experience unforgettable.
The amount of support I have received while studying is tremendous. My personal tutor gave me a lot of feedback on my CV and academic report, which has been incredibly helpful in the long-term. As a course representative this year, students from other year groups have encouraged me to express my course mates’ opinions to the lecturers, which has increased my confidence and sense of belonging. Also, individual lecturers are easy to approach, and they are always willing to sacrifice their own time to help us with difficult concepts.
My favourite thing about being a Loughborough University student is the experience of living in Loughborough. There are so many fantastic independent stores, and the locals are very welcoming. It is the best town for students like me who love to engage with the community!
