Hi
@annipops,
Congratulations on your offers
I know that choosing a university can be tough. However, I wanted to help!
My first piece of advice would be to take another look at the course pages and see if any modules interest you more than others. This may help with your decision. I would also consider whether you want to take a placement year or look at what study abroad options a university has. You can find this information on Loughborough's
BEng Product Design Engineering degree page here.
Although you may have already done this, I would try and visit both campuses if you can. Alternatively, you could take a look at some virtual tours (take a look at this
tour of Loughborough's campus here). You might see yourself being happy at one university more than the other.
Alongside this, I would think about location. Both universities are in separate parts of the UK and are close to different places. You can see where Loughborough is
here and which cities it is close to. For instance, Nottingham and Leicester are near to Loughborough and many students visit them.
It may be worth thinking about whether you want to join any societies or get involved in any sports too. Here is a list of the
societies and
sports (you may have looked at this!) at Loughborough. You may have a talent (such as 800m and cross country running, as you say) you want to continue doing or you want to begin something new. The societies or sports offered at a university can help with making your time at university even better, so it's worth looking into.
Another point to mention is to look at accommodation and where halls of residence are at the universities. This may help with making your decision. Here are
Loughborough's accommodation options and halls of residence to look at.
Finally, I would also explore the career support each university provides. For instance, Loughborough has a Careers Network that you can look at
here.
Ultimately, you have to choose somewhere where you can see yourself being happy.
Hope this helps you
if you have any further questions, please just ask.
