The Uni of Leeds is a really amazing place to study!! Because it is such a large university it's perfect for making lots of friends, which societies really help with. Alternatively, it forces you to be more social because there are so many dfferent kindsds of peore within one institution. You gain social skills and develop your own interests due to the parts of this university experience that are relatively unique compared to UK, and even overseas universities; there are loads of societies, both big and small, with sober events and also for niche interests. Additionally, the year abroad programme offers a year rather than a semester abroad (like most universities) which is way more suited to actual cultural integration, settling in and making lifelong friends. You get the amazing opportunity of living and studying somewhere for a considerable amount of time. The university could be improved by improving mental health services - when I tried to find counseling the only recommendation I got was to seek private therapy - which most people are not in a financial position to do, and was also besides the point of me seeking therapy included in the large sum I am paying for university. I still believe that universities rely too much on self care measures for student mental health management - when university really can be a hard time and it is one of the biggest challenges a young person will face in life, to adjust to a new environment like this. In person mental health support is still the most effective aid and there is not enough of this available.

University rating (5)

I usually study in our libirary, it is a great place. There are countless knowledge you can enjoy all the time. The place provides a quiet atmosphere for studying. I think I well utilize it so that I can effectively stdy. I also have some bad aspects. For exmaple, as a student, I can not a little bit afford the accommodation fee, and I feel a bit stressful. But overall, it is a great university, I love my school!

Biological Science MRes

University rating (4)

The facilities for postgraduates are really good and pretty close together, so I don't have to walk 20/30 minutes to the other side of campus. However, the campus is a 25 minute walk up a constant hill from the train station, which makes it quite difficult to get to (I'm a wheelchair user), so I have to drive in to campus, which gets very expensive. Student support is good, if I need anything it doesn't take me too long to find who I need to talk to and they're quick with responding. There's lots to do in the city and loads of amazing places to eat, so great student life. The feel of campus is good, but where I am on campus is quite grey and boring - could use some greenery as I'm constantly looking at 10-storey grey buildings.

International Human Rights Law LLM

University rating (5)

The University of Leeds is a great university with many advantages of studying there. It is located not too far from the city center and surrounded by residential areas. Its facilities are quite complete in terms of supporting your study. It has fair disability services to support individuals with disabilities. Despite those, student life is a bit difficult. You may find it hard to make friends with certain students from particular countries, and this may slightly affect or exacerbate your struggle in student lofe.
