Elise Mcloughlin

Nottingham '27

I’m Elise McLoughlin, a second-year Psychology student at the University of Nottingham with a passion for exploring how the mind works and sharing that knowledge in fun, accessible ways. Through my studies and volunteering experiences in schools and mental health organisations, I’ve developed a real love for communicating psychological ideas to wider audiences. Writing for Her Campus gives me the chance to combine that passion with my enthusiasm for student life here in Nottingham.
On Her Campus, I’ll be sharing quirky psychological facts, practical wellbeing tips and little tricks to make university life a bit easier. I also love exploring the city, so you can expect recommendations on the best food spots, hidden gems and must-visit places around Nottingham. My aim is to keep things light, engaging and useful – the kind of content I’d want to read myself as a student trying to balance work, fun and everything in between.
Outside of studying and writing, I’m happiest when I’m diving into new experiences – literally and figuratively. I’m a qualified scuba diver, which has taught me a lot about staying calm under pressure (and appreciating the beauty of life beneath the surface). I also love travelling, discovering new cultures, and finding inspiration in different places and people. Writing ties all of this together for me – it’s a way to share stories, ideas and insights that connect with others
