I love Leeds is a vibrant city and there's always something to do, it's not that big so you can get around easily. Clubs like beaverworks and wire are brilliant and it's such a food place for students. I love all the restaurants in Burley park and Headingley they're great and the city centre also has so much to offer

Leeds has everything. A variety of shopping opportunities from more affordable to luxury shops, from independent shops to big department stores. A great variety of restaurants from many cuisines around the world. It is a walking distance city. The University of Leeds is in the city. What I really love in Leeds is the vibes. Many street musicians and performers that can brighten your day (and night). The canals and the parks are a great way to spend a day-off. Also, a great variety of events ranging from music concerts and festivals to parades and light night events take place in Leeds.

Leeds is excellent! The night life has something for everyone whether its bars, (try Call Lane for a fun time, or Greek Street were it's a bit more posh) or clubs they have something to suit everyone, from drum n bass, pop and cheesy music, emo and indie. Most places are on a student friendly budget too! There is plenty of different options for food too, definitely check out the Trinity Kitchen in the Trinity Centre! Bringing us onto shopping, whilst the Trinity Centre itself is stunning, the shops are quite limited for choice. Personally I'm quite satisfied and with Manchester being less than an hour away on the train I'm not too mad about it!

Leeds is a bustling city full of fun days out, trips, good food, shopping centres and places to feel happy. The large city contains many shopping centres which have 1000's of shops to explore with friendly staff on hand to make sure you have a great experience. There are loads of restaurants throughout the city from fancy diners and fast food places to cheap, good quality food that's affordable and well located. If you want a drink, there's plenty of bars and pubs in the city to suffice, or if you want to relax and watch a movie, you could head to the cinema in the light centre and watch all the latest movies on the big screen. Leeds is a family friendly area, fit for everyone with stuff to do for the whole family, as well as individual activities and stuff to do with friends. The train and bus station are in the heart of Leeds so the city is easily accessible to everyone, as well as most locations being clearly mapped out across the city. For disabled residents and visitors, for most locations, there is disabled access to be inclusive to all. Leeds is a hub of life and things to do so I would highly recommend it.

There's so much to do in leeds and for those sweet north England prices. There's events on at the university and in the city constantly, including Leeds festival in the summer. There's loads of good night's out, from the bigger clubs to smaller bars playing indie music. Ls6 is a really good night in headingly. The transport is great, buses run regularly, theres koads of ubers and taxis about and you can get a train to London in two and a half hours.

Leeds is a great city for all ranges of people. In terms of nights out there are options for almost everyone, ranging from themed club nights, cocktail bars and pubs. Most clubs have student nights which include discounted drinks and entry which makes great value for money if you are on a budget. There are endless shops in and around the city centre tailored to a range of styles and preferences and there are many restaurants. There are lots of ways to stay entertained in the city with venues such as Hyde Park Picture House and the pay-as-you-feel theatre. Leeds is a very cultural city with something for everyone.

The city is buzzing with lots of young people and students, there is an amazing atmosphere which is exciting straight away about the city. There are countless places to eat, with all types of cuisines and different styles of eateries. The shopping in the city centre, for example trinity, is amazing, with other huge shopping centres including the White Rose also being available in the city. The nights out are the best I’ve ever experienced, drinks are cheap everywhere, entry is cheap and the city gets top acts and DJ’s coming to play.

The location of my University accommodation was initially a concern, as even though I had applied for halls that were near the Business School, I was allocated to a completely different complex altogether. However, being 30 minutes from the University enabled me to utilise the transport services, explore various areas of the city and improve my time management skills (especially on early mornings). Overall, being situated at the opposite end of the city from the University was a blessing in disguise, as it allowed me to experience a side of Leeds that I would never have even seen!

Leeds was an amazing city to go to university at. Student nights are dirt cheap, endless restaurants for food and great shopping! I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else. Very much a student vibe, and you’re lying if you don’t love a good night out at Pryzm every now and again.

Leeds is possibly the best place for me to have gone. There’s loads of independent shops/ cafes for me to go to as well as a brilliant nightlife. The fact that it is just around 1hr away from home and family makes it even better for me. The fact that I am in a city with many different universities always helps to make nights more interesting with such a wide and diverse amount of people to share and bounce ideas off.

Leeds is such a great city to be a student, it has pretty much everything you could ask for. Shops, eateries, the most beautiful urban aesthetic aswell as the river and canal to walk or cycle along. As a student it’s easy to get anywhere within the city centre just by walking, although it can add up to quite a few miles by the end of the day!

The university is in a very bustling city which is surrounded by hundreds of students. Due to this the city is perfect for being a student and everyone is on the same wavelength as you.

Overall an amazing city. Fantastic restaurants and coffee shops, especially those which are independent, beautiful architecture and a great choice of clubs and bars, making the night life one-of-a-kind. Would definitely recommend Leeds!

The location of Leeds University is absolutely perfect. It is right on the edge of the city meaning all the vibrant city offerings are only a 10 minute walk away from campus. It is also located on the edge of the loud and colourful student community residing in hyde park, meaning most students live only a 10 minute walk away from campus. This means all students live close to their friends and all essential ammenities as well as their 9am lectures. In addition to this the yorkshire dales and Ilkely moore are a mere 15 minute drive meaning students can easlily escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a ramble in a field. York is also only a 20 minute train away, a great place to take the parents for a pleasant day out.

Leeds is a very compact city. It has everything you could possibly want within walking distance, food, nightlife, shopping and sight seeing. The main student area of Hyde Park is a walk or £1 bus ride into town. There are nights out closer to town.

Leeds is a wonderful city to go to uni in. The city is big enough that there’s always something going on, but small enough that you can walk almost anywhere in an hour. The music scene is great and the clubs and bars are busy and packed on Friday and Saturday nights when students are in town.

I go to Leeds Beckett University, and honestly the location is so good. It's in between the city centre, and like the shops that lead to Headingley. You have everything you could ever need, and want, just a walk away. The night is amazing in Leeds, and due to the three universities there, most places offer student discount of some kind.

Leeds is a lovely city for students. Nights out, food and shopping can be easily accessible even if you don't live in the city center. Overall prices vary but Leeds is not a very expensive city if you know where to go.
