You’ve made it to Loughborough! Hi, and a big welcome to the #LboroFamily. Now all the excitement of moving in is over, we’ve put together a list of quintessential Loughborough experiences to help you make the most of your first few weeks in the bubble.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

1. Explore the SU<\/a> \u2013 by day and night<\/h4>\n

There’s a Starbucks for your daily caffeine fix, as well as different eateries and a co-op for grabbing a sandwich on the go between lectures. LSU<\/a> is a great place to sit during the day and work on an assignment while enjoying a drink and some cake, or to catch up with your new friends!<\/p>\n

At night, the Students’ Union<\/a> boasts award-winning nightlife, with three clubs to choose from – so there’ll always be somewhere to get your groove on!<\/p>\n

(Tip: if Mr Brightside is your kind of jam and you haven’t discovered Fusion yet, head upstairs for some cheesy classics all night long)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Meet Charlie<\/h4>\n

If you haven’t heard of Charlie yet, we’re not sure where you’ve been! Charlie is our resident campus cat, also known as the Library<\/a> cat, as that’s where he likes to spend his time the most. He’s kind of a big deal around here, in fact, some might call him a BNOC<\/a> (Big Name on Campus).<\/p>\n

If you come across Charlie, do say hello and give him a stroke, and snap a picture while you’re at it too! Just remember, he does belong to someone who lives near campus, so please don’t take him home or let him in your hall!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Take a photo with the Loughborough University sign<\/h4>\n

The unspoken essential of any student induction… if you haven’t taken your photo with the Loughborough University sign, do you really even go here?<\/p>\n

\n

Is it obligatory to pose next to the Loughborough University sign when I go and hand in my diss tomorrow?<\/p>\n
