Sort:Latest reviewsAs a first year to univerity I came open minded and and enthusiastic. As soon as I got here I settled in very well , met lots of friendy people and joined lots of societies.now I feel so happy and satisfied with my university. I really enjoy my lectures. The lectures are so patient and understanding and the students here seem very friendly. The nightlife is amazing and there are a lot of things to do outside the normal events.
I am really enjoying my university experience thus far. It is a totally different life and far exceeds wht I could ever imagine.thebest advice I caould give to a prospective student is t make sure you undergo proper research into what the university can offer you and what you can offer the universsity. by ddoing this you will be better prepared to face uni life and all that it entails. also be open minded as you will come across different people and concepts.
overall im really enjoying my experience as leeds is a great city to live in and the university facilities are great. My main issue lies with my course. I feel dissatified with my amount of hours (1o hours per week) and would prefer much more . Furthermore wee receive a lot of reading in our modules which is fine but i often fdifficult material which we areoften given. Aside from this the modules are generally interesting and we have the chance to do modules outside of our course (electives). Overall leeds university does offer an incredible university experience aside from any course issues you may encounter.
I absolutely love going to the university of leeds. It has already been the best experience of my life. The nightlife and range of social things to do in leeds is one of the reasons it is now my favourite city. There are various things to do ranging from the usual activities like parties to educational ones like visiting musuems. my peice of advice would be to take every opportunity available to you and get yourself involved in as many activities as you can. but dont forget to study ayour books are equally as important.
I am enjoying university very much. Advice I would give would be to visit before you come to get used to the area. Look on Facebook and other social medias for your flatmates before university starts so you can get to know them. Also start budgeting so you know how much money you are spending. Join lots of societies to meet new people as well!
For me the course is most important and doing it in a place you love will definitely help you to succeed. Make sure you choose something you can study for the next couple of years without getting bored. This is where choosing a good uni is important. I chose leeds uni because because it has a good reputation for the course i am studying and my lecturers are really good. the facilities at my disposal are also realy good. uni accomodation is really good. You have the option of being catered and non-catered. Also depending on how far from campus you want to live there are different accomodations to suit anyone's taste. leeds uni has good facilities and good quality teaching and I would reccommend it for prospective students
leeds is great and has lots to do and keep you busy. The nightlife is also really good.The uni prepares you for a lot especially for life after uni and also provides throughout your stay.It also has great facilities especially accomodation. Some courses such as new media need fine tuning as some lecturers are amazing but some simply are not as helpful. Overall though uni of Leeds is amazing and I wouldnt change it for anything.
As a first year student, I feel like my transition into uni life has been easy and a lot more relaxed than I had anticipated prior to coming here.i was very nervous about moving to a new city alone as i have never really been away from home.But leeds uni has a very welcoming atmosphere that reminds of home a lot. Leeds has the perfect balance of work and play hard. I would say don't panic and relax! Uni here is not difficult and everyone is great.
This is my first year in Leeds and I really feel like it didn't take long to settle in! There's so much to do on campus in terms of clubs and societies, and in the city. It isn't as cold here as I thought it was going to be too
Good uni., really enjoy so many new people. Good campus and facilities and great atmosphere. Maybe some improvements on facilities won't damage anything. Feeling like is a bit too old designed yet.
I am enjoying my uni experience though it is different for me now as I am a mature student and this is my second degree. I would advice looking at accommodation that is not specifically aimed at students since my accommodation is better value, and in better condition than most student accommodation. The support and IT facilities are very good at Leeds Uni.
Well I'm from London so most things are dry compared to there (sorry its true)...but actually I'm really happy at leeds. There are literally students EVERYWHERE so you feel a real sense of fitting in and solidarity...almost doesn't feel like real life you forget that old people and children exist...
Love it, but that comes with time, don't panic if you don't love uni straight away as everyone claims to. It will come in time
My uni experience has been very fulfilling, but I wish my course had more contact hours!
Leeds University is amazing and really enjoy studying here. Focus on studies as much as you can.
It's a really fun and there's a lot to do in the city. The Uni campus is also really nice
For me, I found writing a solid, well structured personal statement along with any previous achievements. The most qualifying factors will get you into the uni. I am really happy I got a place here as this uni has good facilities and lots of courses to choose from. Highly recommend Leeds
I'm sharing a flat with 2 other girls and two guys, so we share a toilet and shower (which at first I was annoyed about but really its not a big deal) and a kitchen (which is decent atm but it has been a shithole..sometimes you can't fight the mess!) I live in mackey block, there's four floors and we're always going to other people's flats to pre-drink or just to have a chat...so if you want to live somewhere that feels like a community go there!
I'm enjoying my time at Leeds University. The best advice I would give you: work very hard and always be prepared to challenge yourself

University life has been enjoyable so far.my course is quite challengingbut enjoyable as well. However, many lecturers could improve on their presentation skills.but I must confess they are quite dedicated to their work. Apart from lectures their are other ways we are taught. my favourite sessions are the seminars. these are less formal and more relaxed. it makes it easier to understand concepts being taught especially if you find them challenging. my advice is to mke the most of your first year, it may not count to your degree overall but it sets the foundation of how well you will perform for the ret of your degree.
