    My tip is stay on campus first year because of the social aspect, some private halls off campus won’t have this. The on campus accommodation is very old but don’t be put off that for first year. Then into second and final year people normally move into a house in town because the halls aren’t the nicest

    Thinking of going Loughborough as it’s a cracking uni for sport and I’ve heard the facilities are great.
    I play sports a lot like football and boxing but I’m more looking at the sports science and psychology side of things so just wondering if you know anything about these topics.
    It’ll be my first year of uni so obviously
    very nervous about moving away and meeting new people as I am very much an introvert so just wondering what everyone is like.
    Good video, helped me understand a lot about my choice. Cheers mate 👍

    • @mistamontero
      @mistamontero  3 роки тому +4

      That’s awesome, thanks man! Yeah so I know a few people doing psychology and I also know that Lboro is one of the best uni’s out there for sports science. The people I know doing psychology seem to enjoy it but since I don’t study it i can’t give my in-depth opinion on it really.
      In terms of the people, you’ll find people that you can gel with easily. That might be on your course, Socieities and even by which accommodation you select since they have “quiet” blocks if that’s what you prefer.
      But yeah the student experience is really good!

Leicester and Nottingham are also quite close, if you want even more things to do. I’d say that there are quite a few part-time jobs to do - it shouldn’t be that hard to find something.

      @@sumayya847 I’m not too sure how quickly they respond when giving offers but if you haven’t already called student services to check that this was correct then I’d recommend that you do that. With regards to Loughborough’s rank when it comes to Masters, I am not 100% about where they are positioned! All I can be sure of is that the Loughborough name has a very good reputation (in getting jobs as well) so that is what I would lean on.

      Also, I’m not sure as to where Leeds ranks to be honest. If you haven’t checked their website already then I think you should to see their achievements. Lboro presents theirs quite clearly on their website.

    What’s the male to female ratio like around the uni as a whole? Does it tip towards male a lot? Or is it not too bad anymore bc everything I find about it, is from like 2+ years ago

      Umm I don’t know the exact ratio, but when you walk around campus there definitely seems to be an balanced ratio.

    Is Loughborough good for mathmatical subjects because I got a offer for economics and I'm into sports but I'm just not sure if the uni is right for economics?

    • @mistamontero

      Check out the reviews for economics, that’ll give you your best answer/guidance

      It is in the top 15 for economics. I’m doing economics too and I think I will pick it. If you like sports then it would also be good for sport clubs and the sport facilities that they have to offer.
