A Loughborough University Student’s Guide to Investing in Life
Loughborough has appeared in the Top 5 UK universities for Business, Marketing and Management for several years running, so students from these departments will be no stranger to the term “investment”, but what does this mean to students?
In an economic sense, investment is the allocation of capital - be that in business, education or the stock market - with the expectation of higher returns in the future. To us, money is certainly not the entire picture.
While the pace of all of our lives is changing amongst current circumstances, we want to slow down and reflect how students should be investing in themselves personally, professionally and financially.
Investing in your wellbeing as a student
Being a student means balancing your academic pursuits, social life and professional development while juggling nearly a million other things, but we believe that the foundations of wellbeing must be laid strong if we are ever to facilitate this.
Little needs to be said about physical health for Loughborough University students since the university has cemented its position as the world leader in sport for three years running. All of our student homes are located within a fifteen minute walk of the University Sports Complex as we value the contribution of fitness to your wellbeing.
As for keeping your mind healthy, investing time into researching the pastoral support and mental health services that are available at Loughborough will pay off when it comes to periods of overwhelming academic pressure or unprecedented personal strain.

From spacious gardens and beautiful, naturally bright interiors to hot tubs and surround-sound cinemas, the best days ever start and end at home. At Clan Living, we facilitate friendships that last a lifetime.
Financially - we take care of all your bills and utilities; gas, water, electric, internet, TV license. You have one payment and nothing more; so you can budget effectively.
Our student houses have everything you can ask for including double beds, quality furniture and kitchens equipped with dishwashers, tumble dryers and huge range cookers.
Geographically - each of our houses are positioned between the university and Loughborough town centre, meaning that you can strike a balance between your studies and life beyond. You will have easy access to supermarkets, gyms, cafes and bars as well as the library, sports centre and other campus amenities.
Our landlord and maintenance team are always close by and will deal with any problems within 24 hours.
Academically and professionally - our houses were built with your studies in mind. Large rooms with personal desks allow a quiet, private place for your development. In our eyes, somewhere to read, study or start a side-hustle is one major investment into your future.
