I believe choosing your university is like choosing a new home: you need to make sure that the place you go to will be one where you feel comfortable and that will always feel like your “home away from home”. This was even more important for me being an international student, so going away to university in another country meant completely taking the bull by the horns, getting out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there.
As cheesy as it may sound, I fell in love with Loughborough the very first time I looked it up – it had everything I wanted! It seemed like it offered students limitless opportunities and that student well-being was their priority. Fortunately, all my expectations were not only met, but actually exceeded!
ITMB was a course that always kept you on your toes - whether there was an assignment that required a lot of dedication or a very interesting lecture that required your full attention, there was always something to focus on, which was good. I personally enjoyed being challenged and doing a degree that introduced modules from two different schools was something that complements that.
