University of Leeds

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.

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

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.

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.

Leeds were an amazing uni and did offer support if you were active in seeking it. Academically couldnt have asked for more, staff were enthusiastic and wanted to see you do well.

While the whole of my university experience has been a blast, nothing quite compares to the nostalgic eden of Year 1. Arriving in a new city, with complete strangers and taking your first steps into the unknown year ahead will forever remain as the best year of my life. The perfect contrast to finishing my gruelling A-levels, the more independent and autonomous system of freshers year at university was perfect. And the best part was, it lasted forever. With the amount of different things you spend your time doing, the year just goes on and on, and your halls begin to feel like no home you've had before. The bonds built in Year 1 are more concrete than any other friendships i have, and if i were told i could live it again i would in a heartbeat.

Being part of Hockey at university was the best decision i ever made. Looking past the trials set upon Year 1s, which Is certainly nothing to write home about, the brotherhood established both on and off the field is incredible. Sports societies tend to have found the perfect balance between challenge and fun, and Leeds Mens hockey club fell slap bang in the middle, keeping me on my toes but at the same time making my university experience even more exciting than the various other aspects of living in Leeds. Whilst moving into Year 2 and my year abroad has upped the ante a little, i wouldn't be able to name a single regret in my 3 years at university (except maybe the odd VK too many on a friday night). I can't wait to get back there for my final year next year and go out with a bang.

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.

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.

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.
