Sort:Latest reviewsthe best experience would be finding a job on campus, it was really easy and smooth. The worst aspects would be the strikes which really made learning difficult for the students.
Campus it’s self is great. Improved lecture room finder on app would be useful. The app isn’t the easiest to use when trying to find new places.
Lack of in-person hours especially first-year Number of strikes demotivating interest in degree Good number and variety of societies
Lots of facilities around campus, and campus has a lovely feel and atmosphere. Student support is great especially for underprivileged students - I have received amazing support as an estranged student.
There are 4 big libraries on campus with other study spaces too so there’s always somewhere to work. Also lots of cafes/shops/food stalls on campus and nearby. Work/social life balance is also great because there’s loads of pubs, bars, and clubs with events throughout the week
location next to the city centre is incredible. quality of lecturers is really good too but support for joint honours students is lacking
The facilities, societies, and student support make it great. the strikes should stop
Great lecturers
Amazing tutors which can provide lots of support during lectures and outside learning hours online. Excellent resources provided by lecturers. I am very thankful for the part-time evening course which allows me to combine my learning, my work and family commitments. Lots of facilities for students such as libraries, caffes and recreational places with affordable prices and delicious food for students and staff. Beautiful new and old/renovated buildings and tidy and clean place.
Lovely big, beautiful campus. Great accessible facilities such as 24hr libraries. Lots of places to socialise/eat and sports facilities too.
Uni of Leeds offer a wide array of services, societies, experiences, and support. They are continually working on improving everything, and the students and staff have a say about it all, which is very commendable. Further improvement of facilities, campus look and feel, union location and services, and overall student life will help our university be well on its way to 5 stars.

I love the campus, there are so many things to do, places to eat, and places to study. Things that can be improved are more events not focused on the drinking, going out, clubbing...
Lack of integration into the city. My department doesn't offer ways to get involved with local venues, or communities to play, discuss, teach music. The facilities are not very impressive. The best part has been the friendliness of the city and the amount of students makes it easy to make friends and have a good social life. Also the fact that there are quite a lot of international students.
There are a lot of nice places on campus to study.
Best experience: When i would go out with my flatmates during freshers week Worst experience: After my first time visiting home i would always want to be back at home again
I really appreciate the staff on my course. They are always happen to listen to any queries and to assist you the best they can. I like the campus but it sometimes is very busy and there isn't always a space to study. The union has a decent variety of food place but, during lunch, there isn't enough space for everyone to sit so maybe include more seating arrangements.
facilities are great. Uni struggled during online learning and quality of teaching was appalling
The overall quality of the university and my course is really good, it is well structured and easy to keep track of progress and the staff are generally very supportive and helpful. The location and layout of the campus is also readily accessible and interesting
Campus is always a great place to be and there's a lot to do as a student in Leeds. The facilities for my course are excellent and I feel supported in both an academic and pastoral sense.

The student support services have improved over the years. While there are still some issues, I have not had a problem with the support services when I have dealt with them. There is plenty of space on campus to study, with power connections and wifi, both communal study spaces and more quiet ones. During exam seasons, I am always able to find a space to study. The library staff are friendly and helpful when you ask for assistance. While it can be a bit intimidating at first, when you get used to all the different spaces on campus, you can always find a good space to have lunch, study, or chat with friends. There is often events on in the student union which makes it an interesting place to be. The regular social media and email updates mean that I am always able to find out what's going on. Leeds, as a city, also has lots going on. I love the variety of arts and music events, whether it be orchestra concerts, jazz bars, or art installations. There's always lots to do and not enough time to do it in.
The student support has improved since my first year there. The disability support has always been great and I have found my lecturers very open to questions and extra help. Information about modules and assessments could be worded in a clearer way so that we can fully grasp the task at hand. Reliance on group projects for certain modules made it difficult to be able to control how much work was put into something and therefore the grade didn't feel like it fully reflected individual student's work. I think there isn't enough management of groups in group projects or systems in place to catch when certain members of the group aren't helping The amount of resources available at the library is really great for assignments, and the staff at the library are really helpful and friendly when you ask for assistance. The course content has variety which is interesting. As there aren't many required modules, you can choose which area of study you are most interested in a focus on that area.
Security was not very good. We had a few break ins that the security didn't deal with very well. It was nice to have the laundry place nearby and the grass area outside was lovely for picnics. The pathways outside the residences weren't kept very well though: there were times where there was broken glass everywhere which I felt was pretty dangerous. The residence team was very helpful when it came to accommodating my specific needs as a disabled student dealing with long term health conditions. It was easy to apply for additional help, and they provided everything I requested in my room.
