I’m a student of here to study English from Japan. I’m so happy with this university right now. I used to think meals aren’t good but it is so good and people are so nice and location is great cause we can go to city center for 10 minuets and we can buy anything we want. It is very convenient to live. My course is general English so it’s not common for local students. Teachers are so kind. They are teaching us so kindly so we can enjoy studying. I stay here for 6 months and now 2 months left. I will miss this city and this university.

I came to Leeds 3 years ago. When looking round possible universities it was the only one I could see myself attending. I’m a student nurse and it’s hard to get a place at Leeds but thankfully I got in! It’s been amazing. Nursing is a tough course and you need to have time outside of the world of healthcare. I joined the ski society and it was the best decision I have ever made. I met all my best friends there and it truly has made my university experience. My course is ran well but compared to other universities there is a higher academic demand. If you are think of coming to Leeds to study nursing make sure that the course delivery suits your learning needs. If you are more of a practical learner then consider other universities.

University of Leed's main campus is incredibly expansive but is fortunately easy to navigate. Each building is usually focused on specific subjects so you are often in the same building for many lectures and seminars. The student union itself is excellent, there are many places to buy food/drink and lots of seating areas that are great for socialising and studying. This extra seating is useful as the library's seating areas are often full. Overall Leeds is excellent for students as the location of the campus is exactly halfway between the city centre and thes student areas of hyde park and headingley.

Cannot fault Leeds University. On-campus uni so everything is in one place but only a 10 minutes walk to city centre which is fantastic. Excellent overall facilities. In terms of the course, (BA Linguistics and Phonetics) the content is really interesting and it’s encouraged me to pursue it at masters level one I graduate. Having said this, more contact hours for my course would be better as 7 hours a week is not enough. However, friends on other courses say they have sufficient contact hours so I think this will be due to kndepartment. Haven’t used the careers service yet as not at that point but others say it is good. I am taking a year abroad and everything to do with this has been very organised. The student union is one of the best in the country.

The English side of campus is friendly and the tutors are fantastic, even if you’re not in their seminar or module they will still help you on others if you ask them to. Most of the tutors are approachable and all of them are obviously very knowledgeable in their specialist areas. Our student union is also incredible because there is such a a diversity of events, from club nights to comedy shows and live music that nobody would feel as if there wasn’t something available for them. As the university is so large the union is accommodating with multiple eati and seating areas, which also provide students with jobs. I work in one of out student union kitchens and it’s been one of the highlights of my university experience.

The student union is amazing! It is led by students who come from many background and therefore there is something for everyone. The location is great too as it is only 10 mins walk from town centre. The city is full of good shops, good nightlife and amazing restaurants. Deffo recommend

The campus is stunning, a fantastic mix of modern building and old. There are over 4 libraries that are open throughout the year, and the books and resources they have inside are fantastic. Student union has recently been refurbished, and there is always something to do!

Union is great, has its own night out ‘fruity’ which is probably the best Student night! So much support and activities at the union, which makes you feel like you really belong to the union. Also love how it’s a campus university, which means nothing is too far away and that your accommodation is either on campus or only a 15 minute walk away if you live in Hyde Park. The course I study, Architectural Engineering, is great, where we have our own computer cluster and employability office who help us out with anything from CVs to interview practice. The employability centre have helped to find me summer placements. Our department recently got an extension where we have state of the art facilities and a new architecture studio just for our course, which greatly aids our studies and has allowed us to all work more closely together.

Leeds has literally been the best time of my life. The uni itself is amazing, great facilities and good administration. The campus is really nice and the surrounding areas are really good too. You are never far from anywhere in Leeds, it feels so small yet there's always something going on. Many more nightlife options than my hometown of Manchester, which should have more since it's so big! No regrets coming here, it's so good it's usually one of the go to places our friends that study elsewhere come to visit!

The HR management course is well structured, the union offers loads of activities and the overall experience with the university is positive. The Careers service offer great advice and exclusive placements for Leeds students. The campus is great.

Campus inclusive of 24 hours access to computer clusters which are available in pretty much every building on campus. All staff are very friendly and supportive. Student union organises plenty of events to keep everyone involved. There are student communities present for all types of students for eg - a community for home schooled students, LGBT, etc.

I am enrolled as a PhD student in the School of English. Library facilities are really good, but need to be updated to include current scholarship. The campus is quite lively, inclusive, and a very fun place to be in. There are lots of activities to meet all kinds of interests. Highly recommended.

I have bipolar disorder and the university has been great with disability services. I get different exam conditions and my disability is taken into account if I want an extension on any assignment

I am a fourth year law student at the university of Leeds graduating this year and I couldn’t have imagined a better uni to have spent my time studying at. Firstly their study abroad department was amazing, so helpful, informative and provides endless opportunities both when Home and away. Secondly the law department is second to none, the standard of teaching is very high and really helps prepare you for any future career prospects you may have. And finally the university campus and facilities in general are amazing, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my time working in the student union during my time at Leeds and I couldn’t of imagined a better employer to have! If I had the chance to do it all over I definitely would in a heartbeat.
