Whether your arriving to the UK for the first time or are just about to start your educational journey at Loughborough University London, here are some top tips to get you settled in comfortably and efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surroundings <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may or may not be familiar with the local area, so our first piece of advice would be to familiarise yourself with your local surroundings, such as exploring all the local transport links. Hackney Wick overground and Stratford underground are within walking distance of our campus, so whether you need to venture to the west side of London or to the west-end in central London we are perfectly located in an area with excellent public transport links. You can even use a rentable electric scooter to get across from our campus to your chosen train station if you don\u2019t feel like walking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre, Canalside and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park are within 2-10 minutes walking distance from our campus. You are spoilt for choice in terms of catering and activities so do take advantage of your outstanding surroundings! (Interested in finding out more about the local area? More information can be found via our Londoners Guide to Stratford blog<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once familiar with your local surroundings, you could start to look at your journey to and from our campus. Have you found the most convenient and cost-effective route to undergo your studies? City mapper is a good app for aiding this (more information is available in our Londoner\u2019s Guide: The Top 10 apps blog<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you\u2019ve established your familiarisation with the local area, its time to think about what you\u2019ll need while your out and about. As a modern facility most things you\u2019ll need can be find on campus but you\u2019d still want to come prepared. Essential items would consist of a notebook\/pen for note taking, a charger\/battery bank for your devices and of course your student ID card. It\u2019s essential you have your student ID card with you at all times of attendance on campus for access and printing purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
