The University of Leeds Reviews
Latest Reviews
Leeds university is great, from the outstanding staff to the amazing facilities, spaces and people on campus. The campus is great, everything you need is close together and a short walking distance from one another. The course is not as I expected it to be, with less focus on what I would have personally liked to have done, but I understand the need for the course to be like this and does get better. The student union is great, many good shops and nightlife events, only downside is the hoodies should be free for students. My experience so far has been great and I look forward to another year in my home away from home.
The union is the most welcoming that I have ever come across. The University really cares for its students, from offering free breakfasts dufing exam season, to free yoga and wellbeing workshops.
