University of Leeds

Best - the university campus is very pretty, there are lots of societies to get involved in. Worse - not enough study space especially individual study spaces.

Leeds is a great city and there are lots of students, the University offers lots of courses. I would like more student support and impact on the courses

Leeds Uni is the best place for a proper student experience!! The social life is amazing. The student union (LUU) always have so much going on. There's always something for everyone. Spots like Terrace and Stylus (Fruity ;)) are absolute staples!! There are also opportunities to socialise for non-drinkers, with things like Crossroads in the union. The food spots on campus are INSANELY AMAZING from waki maki to bakery 164. Only improvements there would be, more halal food options on campus, e.g. if refectory, humpit etc. had halal meat options. The layout of the union is also great, with loads of spots to sit and work or socialise, or hold society events. Would love to see more expansion on spaces to host society events, like more rooms (such as the level 2 rooms) and halls like Riley Smith, Stylus and Pyramid. The societies at LUU tun amazing events!! There's always something for everyone, with every type of sport, faith, culture, art, academic society out there, so many great events are always happening. There are also workshops for skills, career developments, wellbeing etc. The student counselling and wellbeing service is an amazing setup, supporting so many students, helping us thrive at uni. The libraries run academic skills sessions which are really helpful and highly appreciated. The libraries on campus are great, each with a different vibe for different types of study sessions. Overall, there are lots of great study spots on campus. There are also lots of great cafes on campus, like LOMA cafe in the Worsley building a favourite for healthcare students and LGI staff.

The pastoral support could improve, certain societies are not well run and dont function properly, on this I will say lots of societies are either ran by a friend group and thus not welcoming and/ or solely based around alcohol

I love the campus and the fact things are so close. I’m part of societies that are fun and interesting. The worst part is the lack of feedback on my course, it’s really hard to tell if I’m on track or not which is frustrating.
