The university union always has so much to do to cater for everyone's needs, the sports facilities are also great, with the edge being on campus and great for the gym but also society use! Careers services for helping with placements are so useful as well as personal tutors and subject teachers.

Leeds uni is great. I love how it is a campus uni yet still so close to the city centre. It has a bit of everything to suit whatever someone wants, with the buzz of city life on one side and then peaceful open spaces dotted around campus. I love sports and the edge is a great facility, full of great equipmentx however it very often becomes crowded. It's location makes it ideal for squeezing in a gym class before/in between/ after lectures which is a real plus. The student union regularly sends out emails and keeps students informed of what is going on. The new renovated student union is a complete transformation from when I was in first year and it is now a really nice space.

I study theatre and performance at the university of Leeds and absolutely love my course! It's a great way to study drama whilst keeping your options open as to what you want to do. The student union at Leeds is amazing! Has great nights out and great food options and loads of helpful resources.

The university courses are based on the concept of research led teaching, and this really comes into its own once you reach 3rd (and 4th year for masters courses) as you realise the lecturers really are experts in their field/s and they have such a passion for their subject. This is a massive positive, and is highly encouraging for myself, as it gives me confidence in my lecturers and makes the content more interesting when it is linked to real life, innovative research.

The university itself it so well equipped for all students through the step free access to the on campus support I think it can truly help anyone achieve another qualification in their education

Overall, the university is great. The campus is big but easy to navigate and conveniently located right near the city center. They've invested a lot in making the libraries as convenient to use as possible so finding study space is almost always doable (though sometimes they've over-complicated things with too much unnecessary technology, like the room booking system). The Edge gym is miles better than any of the other regular gyms in the area, especially once you figure out the best (quietest) times to go, and the student union has recently had a lot of money invested into it so there's plenty of space to work, hangout and eat, plus loads of other facilities.

The University of Leeds' Accounitng and Finance course is considered as one of the best in the UK. It has recently been ranked Number 1 by The Times and The Sunday Times for the 2018/2019 academic year. The academic staff a group of motivated and hardworking professionals. They are constantly aiming to tailor the course to ensure graduates are in possession of the skill needed to succeed in the work place.

The Student Union is amazing and offers a lot of support, the campus itself is friendly and always alive with people. The university is located close to te city centre and has lots of facilities to offer including a gym and a pub and club night. My course is challenging and exciting and there is always support offered from faculty members. The careers service is great and can help guide you along your chosen path.

Absolutely love Leeds ! Such a great city to be a student, has everything you need - shops restaurants bars clubs etc. Is so cheap compared with London and the campus is so amazing too, 10 mins from the city centre.

It had been less than 10 weeks into my course but I am already loving the environment. The seniors are err supportive. Lecturers are always encouraging to engage with them after lectures and during their academic support hours. The environment is friendly as ever. Gym and sport facilities are very complete and the accommodation I am staying in is nothing as what I had expected. The kitchen and my room is spacious and my flat mates are equally friendly. I would say that the course I am in is difficult but the help of my friends and lecturers it is more enjoyable.

I loved everything about the university of Leeds. Everything was a close together, the campus, the city centre, accommodation, which made everything so cheap and life so easy! I loved my course (neuroscience) it was really interesting and there was good variance in the way students were tested.

Great party life( surprise, surprise). Some accommodations are more sociable than others. I study maths and economics and there's a huge(!!) jump from Alevels, however we get 5 hours of seminar and tutorials every fortnite so if you struggle, there's help you can get if you need. Most of the lectures are recorded so you can also rewatch them if you don't understand the material. Oh and you get free off peak gym membership

University of Leeds have a lot of resources to offer its students. There are varied selection of societies, cv workshops in the career centre, mentor schemes for placements, events and many more. You get what you paid for basically. But it's also a very supportive University as it tries to cater for everyone.

I love that it's very international. There's a wide range of courses and societies for everyone to enjoy. I like my course, Law, very much. Leeds has a great nightlife scene, and lots of residences to choose from both on campus and off of it. The refectory is a little on the expensive side but it is pretty good, especially the hot wok station where you can make your own hot wok and then it will be cooked for you.

There is a lot of support around my course, especially the staff that take care of our academic studies as well as outside of university. There are many libraries on campus that help my learning with amazing facilities.

Very large, impressive campus spread all around the city. Amazing building for lectures and for seminars but also study in multiple buildings. You can also study in multiple libraries which each have multiple levels with thousands of books you can take out and use to help your studies.

I love how everything is close together on one big campus and is just a 5 minute walk from the busy leeds centre. The union is amazing when it comes to the diversity of different societies and clubs and the facilities they provide (nights out, casual pub, supermarket, cafes and places to grab food). I've had specific experience with the disability services at the university and I am so pleased with how much support is available through them - making sure everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve great things whilst they're undergoing their degree. I would highly recommend to anyone the University of Leeds

Campus is in a great location, the whole university is enclosed in one area, yet its 15-20 min walk from the centre of town, and its a great blend of old and new.

The campus is lovely. The uni setting surrounding buildings such as Parkinson and Laidlaw library create an amazing ambience, particularly in summer. The student union has some really cool bands come to play and the club nights they run such as fruity are cheap and very popular. Facilities e.g. libraries are modern and the Edge gym is state of the art however is quite expensive. Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Uni of Leeds and would recommend it to everyone
