I really enjoy my social life at university. I have gotten very involved in the student’s union which has led to me making lots of different friends. I do enjoy a night out but there’s so many more social things to do here too. I set up Loughborough debate society with some friends in my first year which opened up my social life a lot, as we’d meet up not only to debate and discuss politics but for drinks and quizzes too.
There is so much on offer here at Loughborough, whether your passion is sports, music, acting, art, volunteering; the list goes on. There’s a group for everything you could possibly imagine here, so you’re bound to find where you fit in. I have met so many different people here, with lots of different skills and passions. I lived with Olympic athletes in my second year and their dedication to their craft was incredibly inspiring. Although I’m not a sporty person, they got me into healthier habits like going to the gym, but their attitude rubbed off on me as well, and I started to take more pride in my work and my achievements.
