As an international student, there were a number of ways I was able to adapt to life at Loughborough. My personal tutor gave me a warm welcome and he helped me a lot including introducing British culture, encouraging me to join the social activities and was always there if I had any questions. I love playing basketball, so I took part in that and met lots of friends. Also, I made friends with people on my course, which not only helped academically as I was able to discuss topics after class, but I also got to know more about their local or international cultures as well as different ways of thinking.
