University of Leeds

Extremely social!! So many people to go out with- the business school society were also very useful to meet new people. The teaching staff made settling in very easy. The Tannery- more social than I was expecting because I applied to James bailie. But I found friends very quickly and the unite staff put on loads of events to meet people. All very high quality. The bars in the union are extremely cheap!! The free edge membership is ideal and the libraries are spacious, advanced and ideal places to do work. They are interesting because of the broad range of topics and lecturers who deliver them .. Leeds is a lot cleaner and pleasant than I expected. It’s also a good size, big enough for lots to be going on but also small enough that you can walk from uni to town then to headingley (student area).. It is interesting, hard work and based around personal development. Personal tutors mean that you have to keep up with work deadlines etc.

It was absolutely incredible. Met a lot of people, took part in loads of activities, and enjoyed myself to the fullest. My accommodation was fantastic. It was looked after really well, had a pool table, and the common room was enormous. The classrooms were massive. They have top notch sports facilities and the libraries have a vast collection with pretty much every book one might need. The course was relatively easy to follow and the lecturers were helpful in their approach. They made the lectures as simple to understand as they could have and were always available to clarify any doubts. Leeds is one of the best cities for a student. The shopping centres are amazing, the nightlife is incredible and the availability of top quality restaurants makes it a great place to live in.

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.

Studying Law at Leeds has been challenging but also academically stimulating. The course and teaching are of high quality.

Freshers week was a good chance to meet and get to know your flatmates and new people. It's quite a stressful week and there's a lot of pressure, but a lot of things are put on to keep you busy I stayed in Devonshire Hall. Overall, I had a really enjoyable experience. Some people don't like the wardens, but that wasn't a bit deal especially considering all the facilities at dev. All the facilities are really well maintained and well stocked. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a spot in the library but it's a very large university so thats expected. It's a really engaging course and the lecturers are very helpful. It gives good scope to swap on to different programmes in later years if you change your mind about what specific discipline you want to do. The facilities are great within the school The city life in Leeds is one of the best. It's quite a compact city, so it's easy to get about by foot. Before covid, the nightlife was really good, but we'll see what it's life when this open back up.

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

I loved my time at Leeds, the city had so much to offer, particularly for students from indoor mini golf courses to pop up game of thrones themed bars. I always found that support was readily available from both the University Union and from my parent school whenever I faced any turbulence. The campus at Leeds is beautiful in summer and magical in winter, with its colourful bunting flying proud all year long. The highlight of my time at Leeds was the end of each academic year when the university would host the 'Leeds Ball.' The campus would be transformed into a fairground and it's fair to say it was the best night of the year.

Overall I had a great undergraduate experience. My classes were interesting and kept me engaged, the lecturers were amazing and knowledgable and the facilities were world class. I always felt like I was being challenged and consitently received feedback allowing me to improve. I am now studying for my masters here in a different department and I am so far enjoying everything. I cannot fault this university it is by far the best decision I have made for my education and I am proud to be receiving two degrees from here.

Really well organised, we had a uni freshers week and then a separate medicine freshers week with a programme of daily events/socials. Medsoc really made an effort to engage the freshers, and events included meeting your medic parents, pub crawls and games events. I was in accommodation on campus that was catered - it made first year a lot easier by having my meals ready! It was really useful to be right next to uni and not have to spend lots of time walking / getting the bus to campus, I also felt safe here. Everyone in the same halls ate at the same canteen so it was very sociable and it's nice to be able to recognise certain faces! The medical school is massive with loads of spacious classrooms. I mainly use the health sciences library in the same building as it's so convenient - it's really useful having a loud group section for project discussions as well as a strict silent study section. The library support staff are always happy to help you out if you're unsure how to check a book out / print something. I really like the study facilities on campus and everything is always kept super clean which is always nice. I really like having a big year group that's all going through the same thing as we can all support each other in times of need. Still studying the course - it goes on forever. I've really enjoyed being able to integrate my clinical learning on placement with lectures on campus since first year - this is something great about doing medicine at Leeds. Most of the lectures are in 1 of 2 lecture theatres and involve the whole year, and we also have various small group work teachings, so there's lots of chances to get involved and there's different learning opportunities. I really like being in a big year that's all going through the same thing as it means we all stay really close and can support each other throughout the course. Leeds is the best! I'm from London originally so always enjoyed living in a city, and Leeds is the perfect size for being a student in! It's not too big to the point where you feel overwhelmed, but there's plenty of cool shops, restaurants and bars to the point where you don't need to go to the same ones every time. There's also loads of hidden shopping arcades which is pretty unique to Leeds! It definitely has something for everyone.

We had a couple of course specific events which were fun but the university freshers week clashed with our first week of lectures so I found I didn't go to as mant events because of that. I did not stay in uni of Leeds accommodation unfortunately Very good, lots of study spaces and social spaces. Good functionality and aesthetic too. Really enjoy being a student here The tutors clearly care about making good doctors and professionals. The constant is all available on minerva (Leeds version of blackboard) Leeds is a great city with lots of shops, music venues, cafes and pubs so you'll be able to find your thing and enjoy your self when you explore
