Mechatronics at Loughborough or Sheffield

Hi, I've gotten offers from both Uni of Loughborough and Uni of Sheffield for Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, but I don't know which one to pick.
I LOVED the course at Loughborough but I'm not sure I couold imagine myself living there as its a campus uni and hard to get back to home from. I haven't been to the actual Lougborough town either but they mentioned at some points you many not even leave campus for a month bc youre that busy and idk if i like the idea of being stuck on campus with just students 24/7
Sheffield as a city is really nice, it was so green with so many shops and I could imagine myself living there, given its easy to get home and theres loads of activities there nearby which i like eg ice skating. The course wasn't bad but it didn't give me the same 'pizzazz' (pardon my language) as the loughboro course did. This may also be because i only visited sheffield on offer holder day whereas i went to the open day and interview day for loughboro

Any comments on the course and the city for students would be helpful!! I ust want to make sure I dont regret not going to one instead of the other :smile:

Course is THE most important thing. If that stood out for you at LB, that is probably going to be far more important to you than random green-spaces at Sheffield. The other big plus about LB is of course, sports facilities, and even if you are not 'into sport', having a fabulous pool for lazy afternoon swims etc is still a big plus.

Hi, i've also applied for mechatronics and robotics at loughborough but iv been sent an email saying i need to go to the interview day. Was just wondering if they gave you the offer immediately or if you still have to go to the interview.
