Hey, I live in Hertfordshire. So outskirts of London in very general terms. Leeds and Loughborough are extremely different universities. Leeds is considered quite Prestige and is a very ‘academic’ focused uni. However it is known for being an amazing city with buzzing night life. I’ve visited and I have to say it was a lovely city, while that may be subjective, it was just like a smaller London but cheaper and more down to earth. However Loughborough, is still a very good uni, and if I’m correct is better for product design. (One of the best of not the best). Loughborough has a good reputation especially for sport and design, however not quite as prestige as Leeds. The downside to Loughborough is the area, it’s more town like, more small, not much of a party area, the biggest part of Loughborough is the uni. The party life isn’t as good. However, you have Nottingham not far away which is one of the best for partying. However, if your more going for the uni and degree purpose, I’d suggest Loughborough, if location and social life is a big thing for you, I’d say leeds. Leeds has more of a buzz to it.

From what my friends at Loughborough have said, only really go if you’re very sporty. It’s a very sport orientated uni and if you’re not very athletic then you’ll likely get excluded. If you play lots of sports then you’ll love it. I don’t know much about Leeds to talk about that uni.

I've been to both open days now... and for PD, Leeds doesn't hold a candle to Loughborough... what a fantastic presentation and university... if you came to Uni to party, Leeds is it, but if you don't mind a safer, smaller community feel with less bustling party life but an incredible course... look no further than Loughborough

I'm not able to get your point can you explain me in more simpler words cause I'm very confused about leeds or loughborough also for me leeds would cost around 30000£which is very high and expense compared to loughborough uni so should I go for the cheaper or should I go for leeds cause I am happy to go loughborough more but seeing the town it would not be so happy after all and I don't wanna regret later with my decision about university
Plus even agency is not very helpful and there is no many factors going against my lbro and leed I hardly got any time it's like Already August have not even done my Cas yet
