I went for an exchange program for 1 term (3 months) at Loughborough University, UK. 1. It has the largest campus in the whole of Europe, this is due to its focus on sports. It has multiple grounds. 2. It has the best sports management curriculum in the world. 3. The quality of the grounds is so good that the England International cricket team sometimes practices here. 4. The faculty is really friendly and the student Union organizes a lot of events.
Course Curriculum :
The faculty is really awesome, and they teach right from the basics. They clearly highlight the requirements and the expectations from the course. There are a lot of lab sessions and remedial classes. The passing marks are 40/100 for undergraduate program and 50/100 for postgraduate program
Placement :
I am not really sure about the placements per se. But I do get to see there are multiple fares and drives which help students in finding a job and network with people who would guide them in the process.
Fees :
1. Since it was an exchange program, there were no tuition fees for me at Loughborough University. 2. Although they did share the accommodation prices if one wants a room on campus. It was on a higher side. Therefore a lot of students take accommodation nearby
Scholarship :
I have no idea how to avail a scholarship. But the coordinators there are very prompt and helpful and approachable. If anyone needs help they can directly drop an email to them and they would definitely help.

Campus Life :
Campus life is great. The student Union organizes parties and cultural events every now and then. You need to purchase passes for a nominal amount. The Student Union area is also really cool and has a study area and souvenir shop inside.
Hostel :
We took accommodation nearby. The college is in Loughborough, which is a town in Leicester. There is a bus at regular intervals from the station to the University. The food is really good and cheap. There are multiple small hawkers inside the University apart from the regular mess.
