Loughborough University

Accommodation

The quality of my halls is excellent, a big en suite and a double bed. The desk is very large which is perfect for my course and there’s plenty of storage space - a double wardrobe, big shelving unit above the desk as well as enclosed storage under the bed. In my flat I share with 9 other people so there are 2 hobs (and so 2 ovens) and 2 big fridge freezers. There are also 2 cupboards for each person as well. The social side of the hall is also amazing, there are always hall events to get involved in like quizzes and competitions as well as parties that are thrown before nights out. The experience of living in this hall has definitely exceeded my expectations and made my time at university an unforgettable one. I got my first choice of accommodation which I picked due to the great facilities and the option to live with as many people as 9 others! I do not regret my choice one bit.

Accommodation

Looking online and booking viewings with a few different companies. After seeing a few we decided which company we thought were the best and then looked at a few more houses they had to offer before deciding on one. We started looking in November because the general opinion was to get it sorted ASAP.

Course

My course is well structured and covers everything needed to enable me to go into any psychology profession (BPS Accredited). I get feedback on every piece of work submitted, and this feedback is normally given online through Turnitin. All lecturers know their stuff and are passionate about their subject, and PhD students are used to help us in practical lessons. There is a careers team connected to each school who are dedicated to seeing us develop skills to make us more employable. A placement year is offered to every student. Pastoral support is emphasised with a mathematics centre for anyone struggling with stats/data in the course.

Course

It has been more physiology focused than I expected and more research based. I find that my results are much harsher from my university than from others I have spoken to.

Accommodation

I live in Nanpantan. It's not particularly popular with students but it's very close to the university which is why I decided to live there. It is literally a 2 minute walk to my lecture theatres and is still easy to get into town from. I wouldn't live here next year because my contact hours are less and I want to be closer to my sports centre instead as I'll spend most of my time there.

Accommodation

I wanted to look because the area I wanted goes very quickly and I signed in December. I had some difficulties as I chose not to live with my current housemates because we didn't get along and they didn't have the money to afford the area I wanted to live in.
