Iv made the most out of Loughborough by involving myself extensively in extra curricular activities. The opportunities to do so are endless and by using them I have found that employers highly value, so get involved!

The support available is excellent - whether it’s for careers, mental health, coursework or general day to day guidance, there are plenty of staff members and schemes available for help. The university campus is lovely and everything you need is in walking distance. The only bad thing is the location itself is fairly dull with nothing going on in the town. Not much can be done about this, however the student union make a lot of effort to help students enjoy their time anyway.

The course teaching is of a very high standards and tutors have a huge amount of varied knowledge. They are also very helpful and supportive. The downside of the course is the workload expectation is so high compared to some other subjects. There are no exams but you make up for it by doing thousands of hours of coursework which never feels like it’s finished.

William Morris halls were located 2 minutes from the student union and made campus access extremely easy. The reception desk was always on hand and there were plenty of sub-wardens on duty at night so it always felt safe. Halls generally are pretty expensive and the fees are only going up and up. This should be capped as it doesn’t match the rate of student loan received.
