Sort:Latest reviewsLiving in Ireland is quite expensive comparing to Italy. I was paying 350EUR monthly for my small house,situated in the city centre of Galway. Even the food was not so cheap. But Galway is not a very big city so you can save money in transports by going everywhere on foot.
Take advantage of everything is offered to you while you are abroad, both in matter of study as well as in matter of social life.
Economically it is more expensive than Spain but it also depends on the region in which you live because it is not the same living in Leeds that in London as it is not the same living in Madrid that in Cadiz
Because Leeds was a very fun city to be in exchange in. It has a lot of students, so making friends is easy and there are many opportunities to meet a lot of people through societies and parties. The United Kingdom is mainly known of the city of London, but there is more to the country as well. In Leeds, people are more "genuine" British then maybe in the big cities.
If a student is academic oriented or living alone for the first time, he/she should consider all bills inclusive and food inclusive university accommodations.
Life didn't cost more than in Belgium, not much any way, but I spent more because of a more intense student life and trying to make the best out of every day.
The facilities are top notch, more computer clusters than you could shake a stick at and two massive main libraries with other exclusive departmental ones as well.Another great thing about the uni is that once you're on campus for the day the biggest walk you will have to a lecture/seminar is about 10 minutes.I am staying at Charles Morris Hall in Leeds this year. I love my accommodation and i would recommend it to every new student.
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! Talk to lots of people who know the course/subject when writing your personal statement, because they can give you some good ideas that you might not think about. Leeds is s great place!
I am so happy that I picked Leeds over all the other universities. I'm having a great time. I really like my course and the city. I wouldn't change it for the world! I would choose your course and the city carefully because if you hate it you'll have a horrible time. But Leeds is great!
The hardest thing I found about starting uni was it was confusing when deciding what books to get before coming to uni and what to bring with me. Talk to friends who have been to uni about these things and the uni staff are really helpful when it comes to books. I also found the accommodation reception staff are really nice and helpful too! Spend time on your personal statement to make sure it is really good!
Love Leeds! It's a really great city and full and vibrant! As a Christian I really like the churches here too. It has a great student feel and I would really recommend everyone to come here! When applying to uni make sure you pick the right course for you! Read up on all the different one Leeds offers because they do a great range of courses. I love my course!
I applied to do medicine here at Leeds. It is a great course! I'm really enjoying it so far, even though it is hard work from the beginning. But what helps to get you through is everyone is so welcoming, students and teachers, and there is a great sense of community. We have lots of socials and societies to really keep you busy. My advice for getting in is to work really hard and stay motivated because it is a long and tough process but so worth it in the end!
I am really enjoying uni here, it is a great city and I've met lots of lovely people. Overall I've had a great experience and would recommend this uni! My tips for getting in would be look at what the uni's entry requirements are in advance and then work hard to achieve those grades.
The best thing about this university is it has an amazing gym! It is on campus so you can go after lectures. It has really great facilities and a massive pool. You also get free membership there at certain times of the day in your first year if you are staying in halls of residence. Before applying make sure you visit the university to make sure it is everything you want. The open days are really useful.
This university has such a great range of clubs and societies. Make sure you check out the freshers fair in your first week to find out all the information on sports, the university, clubs and societies and the city. They are really useful, especially if you don't know the city! Work really hard on your application to get a place.
I have really enjoyed my time here at Leeds, currently doing exams which are always really hard work! I would say always try and keep on top of your work as it can become stressful really easily. When applying I would write why you like the course and why you like the city. Show you are passionate about the course!
Leeds is a good city to come to, there are always lots of things to do here. Some of the accommodation isn't amazing, so make sure you really research into it before picking. Some halls are really far out and I would recommend you stay close to uni in the first year. Revise lots in your A levels so you get the grades to get a place here.
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!
Leeds is the best city ever! There are loads of good places to eat and shop. Plus there are so many clubs with loads of different nights on. Best city to come to uni ever! It does not disappoint! Pick Leeds! When applying work really hard, spend time on your application and interview technique if you get one. So worth it!

I wouldn't change anything, but I might have taken some different modules than I did. Some of the courses I attended were insignificant for my studies at home. For future students, take courses that make up for a part in your degree at home, so you'll be able to make the most of it.
