This is my experience as an international student at Loughborough.<\/p>\n<p>Although I have moved seven times in my lifetime, coming to university has been a completely new experience.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I thought it would be difficult to integrate with the other students, but what I didn\u2019t realise at the time was that everyone was in the same boat, regardless of nationality.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was concerned about moving away from home for the first time, concerned about meeting people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, concerned about making new friends, the style of learning and increased responsibilities, and concerned about plenty of other new experiences that many only face when coming to university.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3829 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1692\" height=\"1055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8.png 1692w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8-1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8-370x231.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2019\/01\/edit8-770x480.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1692px) 100vw, 1692px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Knowing I wasn\u2019t alone made my transition so much more enjoyable and it made making friends so much easier.
