As a PhD student in the School of Design and Creative Arts, I really enjoy our working environment and the research culture in our research group. We have a mixture of PhD students from various research teams in my office. Everyone is friendly and has the willingness to share their knowledge with others. This provides the opportunity for us to enjoy multidisciplinary work and enhance our research to the next level.
I am glad I applied for Loughborough University and still consider this to be a wise choice. I was given a warm welcome from the student community and support team, especially the reception staff. I knew nothing about Loughborough at the time, but security staff kindly drew me a map and patiently described where to find the shops. Although my English was not very good, I started to build up the confidence to talk to others. A friendly and supportive first impression helped me to settle down and gradually became part of the Loughborough family.
