Close to everything, not cheap for drinks but enough student nights to make things cheap

I love the independent business scene and Leeds is absolutely great for it. There are so many independent restaurants that offer some of the best food you will ever try. I personally love Trinity Kitchen as it offers several street food places in one small area. Not only this, Leeds offers a good nightlife scene and has many pubs and bars for those student who don't just like student clubs.

Nights out are good for those who like raves house, pop, chart music etc...however r’n’b hip hop n bashment scene is lacking. You can find everything you need in the city centre which is easily accessible through bus/train. Taxis are cheap. Lots of events on a daily basis in leeds, people are friendly. Hyde park is a great student place to live.

Good night life, loads of bars/pubs/clubs which are all pretty cheap. There loads of restaurants and shopping centres and there's a lot of nice parks for the summer that are all close to the student areas. It's clean and calm city but with everything you need.

I have lived in Leeds for over 5 years and over this time I have had the opportunity to see the city grow. Now you have so many possibilities for a day out, museums, art galleries, many different restaurants, cinemas, concerts... there is so much more and there’s still more to come. The only inconvenience I see is actually finding a place to live. There are not many flats available and the ones that are, are very expensive for a student... overall it’s a great place to live if you are prepared for the weather!

Campus uni in the middle of the city so everything is so close. Tesco is right opposite the uni. Nearest big shopping supermarket is Morrison’s, around a 15-20 minute walk which is a little Dad when carrying all your shopping back. However this is just before all the these big shops so it isn’t cheap sent to into the city centre. Train station 25-30 minute walk. Trinity is in the heart of the centre which has shops, cinema, entertainment and restaurants. Night clubs and Wetherspoons near Morrison’s so not far either.

Leeds has a great vibe with tons of really cool vintage shops, coffee shops and bars. As a student, you can take the bus for one pound which makes it super easy and cheap to get around. This being said, the city is fairly compact and you can walk to most places. The university is a ten minute walk from the city center. Leeds also has a great music scene with tons of really cool venues. It also has a great nightlife. The people in Leeds are alsp super friendly and lovely!

Leeds as city is a perfectly proportioned city with everything you need. There are plenty of options for nights out, restaurants and shopping. The only thing that doesn’t have as much of a variety would be things to do. Leeds on the whole is good value for money compared to other cities. The taxis are good value and public transport too.

Leeds is a really great city to go to for University, the night life is great plenty of options there is always events on at places like cannal mills, beaver works, warehouse and student union. The shopping side of Leeds is excellent as you have trinity and white rose, plenty of opportunitues to use your student discount and there are hundreds of great restaurants to eat at that also offer students discount. A really good event that they have to off is student lock in as this is where one night a year they give studnets loads of discounts in all of there shops.

A very big city with lots to do, prices are high as a result but for some of the beautiful buildings and being in such an interesting place its worth it.

I live in headingley, Leeds. It’s one of the best places, I love the pubs round here and obviously the Otley run. The shops are close, Uni’s close, and it’s full of students.

Loads of places to go shopping. Lovely arcades and new shopping centres. Not much sight seeing to be done though. Great place to go out - tonnes of bars/clubs/restaurants, great student city.

The general location in Leeds is brilliant. The uni has the benefit of being a campus university that is also within 10 mins walking distance of the city centre. Shopping facilities are amazing - trinity, Victoria gate and the markets offer a range of different shops and restaurants.

Leeds is one of the best cities to be in outside london, has a night out for every genre, 10 restaurants for every cuisine, both cheap and expensive, everything is close together , taxis are cheap and buses are regular

Leeds is a very nice city. A lot to do in the city Centre but needs more food places around university where students can buy healthy, fresh food

Night life is good, there’s always events on, the food is quite pricy so be prepared to budget, there’s plenty of things to do and I think it’s mostly value for money.

Seems like I was paying a large amount of money to live in flats that were not very efficient with maintenance tasks and the entire vibe from the flats wasn't nice, the staff never helped out at reception.

It was good city for student. It seems like little london. They have all entertainments and house utility. I will difinitely to go there again. There are lots of small hidden restaurant also. I recommend to go to small food restaurant also. Taste was amazing. And cheaper than London, It could be merit to go there. Perfect for student life.

I chose to study in Leeds mainly because of the city which has a wild nightlife but at the day time there are a lot of activities to chose for different people. Also, there are a lot of bars, restaurants for different tastes and that's a great opportunity to explore different countries taste.

So much to do on a night out. I’ve been here for three months and still haven’t been able to get to all the night life venues. There are a few crappy ones but other than those, the ones I’ve been to have been amazing. Very good for students, as the uni campuses are so central and near the main clubbing destinations. Great for shopping as well, with lots of great places to eat also. Las Iguanas is a major recommendation. Only downside is there isn’t as much cultural stuff to be seen as Leeds was once a very industrial city. However it’s not completely lacking. There are a few good museums/art galleries and there are a lot of performing arts events here. I would say it’s pretty good value for money as well. It’s a student-friendly City, and for the most part that includes budget.

There are plenty of restaurants and take-out food stalls. The university is walking distance from the city and hence very convenient for students to visit. There are several great cafes serving good coffee too.
