Psychology, Year 2

(5)·By elloe b·Psychology· Apr 2019
the academic part wasn’t good, good intro to the course but going out for freshers was quite boring, not really my thing

i love in a unite students accommodation, it’s for leeds beckett as well as all the other i is in leeds, its in a great location between city centre and hyde park, i love it

haven’t really used the sports areas but the library and student union are great study spaces, the union is also so social and fun, i’ve also been there for a concert which was fun

having a range of modules in the course is good because it gives you a variety of things to learn about, it is really interesting and i don’t have too many lectures that they take up all my time

leed is my favourite city, it has such a lively night life and there is always something for everyone no matter what type of music you are in to

they should know that the course is a very essay based subject and does involve small amounts of group work, there are also next to no exams and the course only requires you take one at the end of third year. i think it’s a great course, so interesting and enjoyable

Medicine, Year 2

I didn't participate in freshers in Leeds as my friends were in Glasgow. I went out there and had fun. I didn't stay in university accommodation. I privately rented a flat in the city of Leeds . NA The course was good due to the flexibility. I could travel between glasgow and Leeds and work it around my course easily. Leeds city life is busy and vibrant. I enjoyed the bars that were open late and the shopping during the day.

The best freshers week you could imagine!!! Made memories that will last forever! The accommodation was like a second home to me! State of the art facilities! Everything a student could ever want was accessible The course was amazing because you could choose modules more orientated towards your career pathway Leeds is a great city! Its like a miniature London. Everything amazing is just 1 quick uber away

Art and Design, Year 1

My experience definitely hasn't gone how I'd have liked it, but it's been an incredible journey. I originally started uni at Uni of Leeds and attempted Year 1 twice. Unfortunately this wasn't because I was lazy and an avid clubber, but because I was extremely ill and in hospital most of the time. However, luckily I made the most supportive, crazy friends that although constantly take the mick out of how I'll never pass Year 1, have enhanced my personality and really brought me out of my shell. In my Year 1 I managed to somehow exhibit my artwork at an annual art show in Ilkley and won an award which was just mind-blowing as I was only 18. University allowed me to build to confidence to enter. I am now a Karate Athlete at Uni of Leeds in which the club have really been amazing and inspire me weekly to progress (training for black belt now), and I have managed to win 8 medals within a year from competing. University has also encouraged my musical abilities in singing and ukulele playing so I now play at open mics instead of in my bedroom! Also having skateboarded for a few years, I finally joined the Skateboarding society and can now skate ramps. These little achievements and experiences all build up and collectively create the person I am today, which continues to change and grow. Thank you!

I was extremely nervous leaving home for university, however after the first week I was well settled in. Th University helped with me settling in so fast. I felt right at home knowing that there was help and someone to talk to in person or on a phone line willing to help me out either at university or if I needed help back at my accommodation. The jump from A levels to a Level 4 course has been eased and I'm not finding it as difficult as I thought I would.

freshers week was a lot of nice freebies, getting to know your classmates and just making you feel like home! I never made use of Uni accommodation, I moved straight into a house share. Everything was up to standards pretty much! student union was helpful and the library offered a lot of support. They were interesting, modern and the lecturers made sure to bond with all students so I never felt like a number, I was a whole person and got all the help I could ever need. Leeds is a proper student city, never a dull moment!

Freshers week was lovely! The university made me feel so comfortable and included me in lots of activities. There's lots of amazing events going on. Very affordable, clean and tidy. Very close to the city campus and very sociable. The library is fully equipped from books to journals, the amount of literature inside there is insane! The course is very challenging but rewarding, and tutors go into extreme detail when teaching us. I love city life, lovely bars and bright lights. It almost feels like a concrete jungle at night and the lights and atmosphere is very overwhelming but amazing at the same time.

Business Studies / Management, Graduate

It was so much fun and enabled me to meet so many new people which was lovely. However I think started my course and didn't really see the people I met during freshers again. I stayed in Marsden House and it was so so lovely. Extremely clean, had lovely flatmates and enjoyed the experience very much. We loved the SU at Leeds beckett as studying mostly in the rose bowl it was just over the road. Was big and spacious and held events in there aswell! The classrooms were all extremely clean and just seemed spotless and a nice environment to learn in I studied public relations and I just feel in love with the topic that you sort of have the freedom to write what you want depending on who you work for City life was so much fun as we felt everything was on our doorsteps. Some nights out we'd walk to and from the clubs because it was only a 15-20 min walk. And being so close to trinity shopping and the train station made travel and leisure so easy!
