University of Leeds

It has been great! Almost exactly what I expected it to be like. The course is more intense than I thought but I've still had time to enjoy all other aspects of the university experience!

It was really good and enjoyable last year. This year it's been different as clubs were shut. But I'm glad I had the great experience last year. I stayed at central village. It was nice as it was near the city centre so we could walk there. It was also only a 5 minute walk from the medicine building. The students union is great! I love how they have a club built into it. The library was good, there's lots to choose from. It was really good- I enjoyed the tutorials and the sessions where we practiced clinical skills on each other was great!! The lectures were really well organised It was great, I lived so close to the city to it was easy to pop into trinity centre. Also enjoyed having a range of nightclubs to go to.

I'm loving my time at university. Joining a dance team has allowed me to make lots of friends, I enjoy my course and my lecturers and tutors are always willing to lend a helping hand in whatever circumstance. I love the city too, there is so much to do for students; I'm always busy and always having fun. University makes me more excited about my future, and is helping to guide me down the path of what I want to do in terms of a career. I love the freedom and independence I have; I feel like I'm becoming more and more prepared for the adult world.

There were lots of events and it felt very welcoming. There is a big student community, and Leeds is a very student oriented city so there were also loads of deals being offered for food and things like that. Some of the accommodation at Leeds can be poor but it depends on where you go. Overall my experience with accommodation was positive, but I've heard horror stories from my friends. We have lots of fantastic libraries, my favourite is the Brotherton library - there's so many resources available for my subject. The campus overall is really beautiful, classrooms are in some weird and wonderful locations and there are good facilities available for learning. The student union is also great, I spent a lot of my time during my course hanging around in there. Lots of amenities and support available for students. The university of Leeds is one of the few universities in the UK to offer my course - despite this there was lots of variety in the modules and I managed to study a wide range of topics, ranging from religion to economics in East Asia. The professors are all lovely and approachable and I haven't had any bad experiences, even when I was going through a difficult period they were always willing to support me. I enjoy living in Leeds, as there is plenty to do, lots of people to meet but it's also not intimidatingly large, so it's easy to get from A to B. I've found people in Leeds to also be particularly friendly. All the private accommodation tends to be relatively close to the university also so that makes it easier to travel to classes.

it was easy. it wasn't very busy during freshers week at all. Freshers was fun and we got to go out a lot. Central Village was very good. The en-suite rooms were really nice, beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were big. the student union is huge, it's really good and has loads of nice food and areas to meet up and chill. we've got four libraries and they're really nice just not enough room The course is flexible in the first two years which means you can switch to a different degree if you want. it's got loads of group work which is fun. first two years are challenging but not impossibly hard the city life is great. the city is close to uni so it's easy to go in. the clubs are within walking distance to accommodation so it's convenient. the walk into town and to clubs/shops is safe as it's along a main road.

I’m an exchange student here, the first week was better than I thought it will be. All of the teachers were really kind and helpful, and I explored the amazing parties in Leeds.

I never thought that living in a University accomodation can be this good. The place is great, the rooms are not so big but enough for a student. This accomodation has a great society, we have amazing opportunities (like free pancakes, tickets to sold-out parties). The place is a bit loud sometimes but which accomodation is not..

I could find everything easily. The classrooms are spacious. The library is amazing, there are cafes and people who help you find materials for your essays. It’s a huge help. The sports facility is the best so far. There is a swimming pool with saunas, squash room, and fitness room. My favourite is the LUU which is the Union place. It’s full off places to eat, to work and have social life.

I learned so much here. The seminars are great, we have the opportunity to talk to each other and share our thoughts. In our laboratory sessions we are independent in our work, we have some help but we can arrange our time which is good. The lectures are well-structured and short. In one module there are different teachers to each topic which is a bit confusing.

Leeds became my absolut favourite. I come from Budapest, which is a much bigger City. Most of the people here are students, so the City life is exciting. Leeds is full of shops and restaurants. The night life is amazing, even the University offers great parties on campus.

Chemistry sounds really difficult but it’s not. People think it’s just all about maths and boring reactions. Sure these are a part of it, but here in Leeds you can learn so much more of chemistry. The laboratory sessions are really exciting and fun. We have some interesting courses too, like extraordinary chemistry, where we learn to write some scientific articles too. We have to write some essays in the easter break but it’s not that hard. We have plenty of help from the University.

Good - we had pub crawls and good fun doing it. It became a very close knit year group I was in Devonshire and hated it. The food was awful and I did not want to be catered in the first place. It was not a good experience Great libraries. Great labs and chemistry department It was hard but interesting. The lecturers were passionate So much fun. I love Leeds. The night life was great

Freshers was good because We had a normal pressures with the rest of the University but then medicine given additional freshers week after everyone else as an extra week so you can get to know the people that were going to be on your course

My halls were actually very good because we got asked our preferences so you are suited with people who wanted to live a similar lifestyle to yours. They are quick to respond to any problems that you have and the security guards and supporting staff are very supportive and attentive

There’s about 10 libraries at the Uni so there is never anywhere that you can’t go to study. Classroom sizes differ in all buildings obviously but they are generally well sized and accommodate a variety of students with so they have wheelchair access Etc. The bars are excellent and offer a variety of drinks, and the sports facilities are good as we are given a free full gym membership in first year.

The course, even though it is very long, is filled Staff that are passionate about what they are teaching. The lecturers are knowledgeable and can generally answer any queries that you have. Another good thing is that they respond to the emails very quickly which is something that I know doesn’t happen at other universities.

Leeds is an amazing city to living. It has a nightlife like no other, the people are very welcoming, there is never a shortage of places to go and eat or art galleries to go and visit and there is something always happening in the city so you’re never bored

As it’s a five year course I would say it to make friends on your course because once everyone else has finished after their three years you’ll feel very alone if you don’t know anyone on your course. I would also say to talk to people if you are struggling because there are lots of people who probably are Going through the same or a similar thing to you. Utilise the support facilities available such as your tutors and go to as many lectures as you can.

Freshers week was so exciting, it was full of meeting new people and learning new ways of living. The life on campus was lively, vibrant and full of new experiences. The accommodation at leeds is by far the best I've seen in comparison to other universities. There is an accommodation to suit each individual whether you're an introvert or extrovert. The facilities are great, in first year you get a pass to the gym and the sports halls which is fantastic, this allows you to really get a feel for Leeds. Furthermore, there's access to a variety of different extra curricular activities, again to suit each individual My course is fantastic as you can shape your course to work around your own interests. I am able to mix my course (music) with a variety of different subjects such as psychology and education. The city is vibrant and never quiet. City life can be daunting when you first arrive but you'll soon learn to find the hidden areas that really make Leeds such a fantastic city.

Busy but very fun week spent mainly with my flat mates/others who lived on my floor of my accomadtion. Spent most nights out clubbing so wasn't very tiring but was with it as Leeds has good nightlife. Also was in uni a few times that week so got to make a few friends on my course through it. I lived in leodis which was my first choice. It had a really nice decorated room with my own ensuite and a really nice kitchen. I found all my flat mates and other friends in the block I lived in very sociable so was easy to ke friends there. Also was a large accommodation so there was a lots of chances to meet new people Student union has lots of shops, food places, drinking places and generally places to sit and hang out with friends or to even study which was really good. There aren't loads of libraries but during exam season there's is not W bough space to facilitate all students. Lots of sport areas, including having an off campus outdoor sports place which is easy to get to on the bus. Uni also has its own gym which is included in your first year accommodation so will save you a lot of money My course gives me a lot of different topics to learn so is good to find out what areas I am interested in for my future career. It also provides anatomy sessions using cadavers which is something I've never done before and is incredibly helpful for learning from. I also have a fairly large course so there is so many possibilities to meet friends and you also do lots of different labs, tutorials, etc so your constantly with new people to meet. Leeds has one of the best nightlife's in the country. Student night is pretty much every night here so you can always find a good night out to go on and cheap deals so it's affordable as a student. It also has such a good variety of night outs so you will 100% find one that suits you so well. Leeds also has so many good pubs, which are used on one of the best pub Crawls known as the otley run
