It was really fun year overall and I met really good people that I know will be friends for life. Living in halls was such an experience, was a bit annoying with the COVID restrictions but still really fun on the whole. In terms of first years it was never going to be the best with no clubs or events, but in terms of COVID experiences we definitely got the best. The course was interesting and they did a good job at handling it all being online, yet it was VERY expensive still for not the same experience
It's like a little community being on Leeds campus, and your already amazed, but then you have the whole of the city to explore.
Great uni
Best
Fantastic university just wish we had more contact hours
I recommend this uni.
The accommodation is a good price and location. There is a good vintage store to shop in in the city.
My course will be helpful for my future career. I enjoy shopping and travelling in the city. I have joined the East Asian Research Society. The SU is interesting. I think it will be quite difficult to get a job.
Leeds Uni is amazing - would recommend. I like the placements on my course. My accommodation is lively, friendly and there's always something to do. The tables and chairs here are annoying. I find the SU cheap. There's loads of support all the time - the revision sessions are good.
I love it here. I enjoy the way my cause is taundergraduateht. Everything is in order in my accommodation - you don't miss anything. The residence services are great. I like walking around, shopping, sitting in the cafes and going to the clubs in the city. I have joined the Com Soc. I think this uni has one of the best students' unions - it has everything a student needs. You can ask anything to the support services and they will help you. Getting a job depends only on your ambition.
This is a great uni and great city. The lectures are stimulating and interesting. James Baillie Park accommodation is amazing with great vibes. The city has good food and drink. The gym and SU are great. Some societies are biased when casting (theatre society) - other than that they're okay!
I would recommend my uni to others.
My course has some interesting classes. My accommodation is too small and no washing machine in the kitchen. I like shopping in Leeds. I have joined the EARs society. Getting a job is hard for international students.
Its been a great experience. I have interesting modules on my course. My accommodation is comfortable and nice location. I like the clubs in the city. There are great activities and fairs at the SU.
It's excellent here. I like that my course is practical and industry related. My accommodation is next to the city centre which is quite convenient. I love shopping in the city. The Edge is great but we need more library seats. I have joined the lubs society. The SU updates information fast and is great. You can have meetings with your tutor for support. I think it will be okay to get a job.

Feels extremely homey, yet gives a sense of freedom and individuality. The course leaders are perfectly precise and accommodating, and the facilities available are various.
Mostly in person in second semester, however, first semester as a blend of online and in person lectures and seminars. It was an affective blend, however, the proximity of start and end times of back-to-back lessons leaves no time for students to settle down after class before heading to the end one. In addition, we only get to talk to our tutors 2/3 times a year in a meeting (though the option to set up a meeting with them between uni wide meetings is available)
The city of Leeds is nice and spacious, with many venues for students to enjoy themselves whether they love the nightlife or not. The city caters to all, despite the lack of decent part time work or work opportunities for anyone doing anything other than business, law, economics, accounting and finance.
