The campus is so welcoming with a very student vibe! there’s always different activities going on such as vintage stores or pop up food (starbucks!). The libraries are amazing with everyone so respectful. The student union is overpriced, especially coop, so makes it hard to shop there.
Best parts is the campus and city Worst parts is the amount of work
Good facilities, enjoyable, nice area Could have. More private study spaces in libraries
The location is great and some elements of university offer great support. However, the university operates in silos with some departments better than others and support systems are limited in scope.
The coursework is stressful but otherwise studying is fun.
The staff are constantly sharing tips via email regarding wellbeing and settling in which is really helpful as a first year, especially in a new city away from home. I like that the services provided by the university are also easily accessible. However, I feel like an increase in guides/university tours would be very helpful for first years at least.
The great thing about leeds Univeristy is that it is a very clean place and it is very looked after. However, it is very far from train station which mean that it is a long walk in order to get to the business school.
University of Leeds is a great place to study due to its close proximity to Leeds city centre, which is only a 10-15 minute walk away, or a 5-minute bus ride away! Leeds is definitely a lively student city with various things to do. The union has over 300 societies, and you can also make your own society if you wish. The medical course is taught very well, with it’s I reheated structure; the unique thing about studying medicine in Leeds is that you get the opportunity to start clinical placements and get patient contact from the very first year. The library facilities in Leeds are amazing, with different types of libraries for different types of learners. For example, there are modern and traditional libraries which vary in terms of loud or silent studies. Although the booking process for library rooms is quite competitive!
Old bar very good for food and drink.
Everyone is really kind here in Leeds, you will get all the support you needed and there are so many opportunities to get involved in every area that you are interested in. The worst experience might be the stress of finding a house for next year because a lot of houses were already taken and decisions need to be made really fast.
Leeds uni has a great student support services. The city and surrounding area of Yorkshire is the perfect place to be a student.
The worst aspects of my uni experience was spending the majority of my course studying and doing lectures online, feeling like I was missing out on the true experience and meeting new people. However, the staff tried their hardest to make up for it within 3rd year by ensuring majority of content was covered in person, including lectures, seminars and workshops, and they have provided adequate support and resources.
There are a lot of study spaces available and plenty of resources. Lecturers are quick to respond to emails and provide guidance when necessary. Although my university experience had a rough start due to the pandemic, overall it has been a great experience due to the people, staff and activities available.
The facilities are brilliant; not only are they beautiful grounds but accessibility is great too. They are fully equipped with all that is needed and allows for enhanced education levels. It’s a good location, near to the city itself and the rabbits which roam around the grounds add a sense of delight to your day when on campus! Library opening hours could be extended to 24/7 for longer periods, rather than just exam periods. It is appreciated that staff are needed to monitor these, so I can understand this may not be feasible. However, if there is a way of automating the nighttime libraries, it would be great
So far the academic side of uni is perfect, quality information provided for my course

First gen student
It’s a little confusing finding places but that’s just because it’s big haha!! The university don’t really offer much for families or students with children.
Enjoy my course clinical suite sessions could be longer so we can get the most out of the sessions. Sometimes feels a little rushed
Cost of living is a struggle as I’m supporting 2 children and a partner with health issues. Everyone is having a difficult time
