Leeds University is amazing and really enjoy studying here. Focus on studies as much as you can.
I really love my uni experience-so much fun! City life is amazing s well, many clubs and restaurants. International people everywhere around which means more cultures for you to learn and discover
Definetaly go for it . I am a mother at five and managed it so I'm sure you can. It is a wonderful part of your life- do a year abroad which was absolutely amazing which I wouldn't have done had it not been for support at the staff
Great city, great university with helpful tutors. Everything close at hand and you could have no regrets coming here.
The student union has a lot to offer in terms of extra curricular activities and sports, opening you up to a lot of new opportunities. That's why you have to make the best of your time here and take all the opportunities in Leeds!
Uni has been an OK experience, If I were to give any advice to other students I would tell them to get involved with everything possible, and have advantage of help advice and support that is given if you want , you have to seek it out. Also , don't waste first year!
I am really enjoying university life, in the terms of high prospects here for future career. However I find my course has a limited amount of help offered to its students as well as this I strongly recommend living on campus because as a student living at home, find myself isolated from the university environment. In addition, although the university has a wide range of clubs, I find it impossible to fit them into my heavy work load and busy schedule
Hundreds of clubs and societies that advertise well during the freshers fairs. I joined both the athletics team and the cross country team and have met some fantastic people. I've had a great time as well as getting on with some training
Really enjoy uni especially the social side. Loads of clubs and societies from sports to environment societies. Anyone coming should get involved in as much as they can especially hockey!
I enjoy living in leeds very much. The city helds a number of facilities and activities to fulfil up uni spare time. Advice I would give is to pick a course that you know you will enjoy
Excellent university, best piece of advice is to join as many clubs and societies as possible to get the best uni experience at leeds
Love the uni, it's a great place to be a student. The course I'm doing is fantastic, the lecturers and course tutors are really good and overall I really enjoy it. City life is amazing, great night life but also something for everyone. Accommodation is similar to other unis, but by no means bad. Students rule in leeds.
My uni experience is good so far. I have learned how to be more independent as well as how to choose my friends. Take care of what module you choose. Study hard and never leave it until the last minute. Choose hall accommodation first year as you will make more friends and have a great social life. The uni facilities are not brilliant but they can satisfy everyone's needs for sure
Participate in societies and get involved. Great university and facilities. Maybe travel a bit in Uk and see the other unies as well as Leeds might not be the best but I'm sure it won't disappoint you
I've really enjoyed myself- will be sad to leave when I graduate this summer. Advice: make the most of all facilities and opportunities appeared to you. The city is very good as well is big and has a lot of facilities and a great night life
Plan your time effectively and make sure you can act independantly. Make use of the opportunities on offer eg: internships! :) To have a good career you should start on by taking good grated and good notes. Don't let everything up until the last minute
I love this university but there are no boys in Leeds! It is a town full of women. This was very disappointing and the girls totally out number the boys! Tips on getting a place include really bulk out your personal statement. This way you have lots to talk about in the interview if you get one too. Good luck!
Concerning the academic aspects at Leeds Metropolitan University, I enjoyed my modules because I practised the language itself a lot, hence I improved my listening, speaking and reading skills. Moreover, the teaching methods were very practical ones. I did not have to attend many hours of classes whereas I had to do more work at home. In that way, I learnt to manage my time in order to attain deadlines
I would advice all the students who would like to come and study in the university of Leeds to join all the societies in the Union in order to choose which fits them best. In this way they will interact with many people and this will enable their adjustment to their new life. The key to success is a combination of hard studing and have a great time in out-door activities as well.


The uni of leeds is okay if you come here to study hard-more like memorize things. In my course we have no workshops at all which disappointed me. A piece of advice would be to never choose halls as accommodation. Leeds is quite big and beautiful as a city with good job prospects. Choose a practice related course and start studying early on.
