I originally come from Cyprus and moved to the UK just for university. When I was applying, I looked at top business schools and chose Loughborough because of its ranking, it was actually my insurance choice, but looking back now, I feel really grateful that I ended up here. The campus has such a homely feel, and the Business School environment is incredibly welcoming, which made settling in much easier.
Overall, I’ve really enjoyed my experience. Everyone is friendly and there’s always something going on, especially with the strong sports culture, which makes it easy to meet new people. Moving to a new country without knowing anyone can feel daunting, but Loughborough is such a good place to put yourself out there. Being in halls also played a big role in helping me settle in quickly, and I think that shared experience brings people together.
One of the things I’ve appreciated most is the level of support from the Business School, particularly when it comes to placements. Applying wasn’t necessarily easy, but it felt much more manageable because of the guidance and resources available, especially from the placement office. That support made a big difference to my confidence during the process.
