Going on exchange to the University of Leeds was a great experience that I'll always remember. Leeds is mainly a student town and its very easy to meet people and make new friends. The nightlife in Leeds is amazing and there are things to do every night of the week. I would recommend the University of Leeds to all those thinking about an international exchange program.

I wish I had known how demanding my course would be! If you're interested in postgrad studies in the UK please make an in-depth research of the universities you'd like to study and ask for any information packs listing modules and course structure.

Leeds university is extremely vibrant and diverse and has a very good academic reputation. Teachers are friendly and easy to approach, however it's inherent in their teaching role to demand a lot of hard work on your part!

Go to Natwest if you dont have a UK bank account! They are very open and friendly and will spare you a lot of hassle! One branch is opposite Uni and there are plenty of cashpoints across the city. For accomodation advice visit unipol's website and finally take it easy when the workload starts building up and reward yourself with a coffee, drink or shopping spree! Leeds is a wonderful place to study and you will make many friends from all over the world.Hope this helps!

Very expensive to live there. I also wish I had taken more time out from my studies to travel around the UK more.

It is a lot of work, but at the end it is worth it. I'm an art history student, and I've learned more in this semester than my entire career at my home University. There is a ton to do at night, and it's very lively despite the Industrial exterior.

Hostelworld.com, thetrainline.com, ryanair.com, easyjet.com were all very helpful websites for travelling. Buses will always be cheaper but will take quite a long time to get to your destination. If you plan on travelling around the UK a lot, I'd recommend getting a Young Persons Railcard which you can purchase at any train station. It will provide a nice discount on train travel within the UK.

“High class teaching”
Leonora K

Overall
The University of Leeds offers first class teaching in a beautiful environment. The law school is tightly knit and diverse, making it a fruitful environment to do your degree. There are several libraries to go to for studying, all of which have their own unique feel. There is an active student union which organises events and the many student groups you can take part in. One of the greatest things about the University of Leeds is the option they give you to take an optional module from any other course at the University during your second and third year. This allows you to explore a completely different area, perhaps learn a language, take a math class or dive in deep with something completely different. This challenges you to think and learn in a different way, and is a unique possibility that few other universities offer.

Pros
Selection of good libraries, motivational teachers, good student town,

The rest of the world really isn't a big fan of the U.S. or Bush right now...but hang it there. Many of them have nothing to base their opinion on because they have never met an American before. Give them a reason to love you and they all will!

Bring an umbrella and go out whenever you can. There is NEVER a shortage of nightlife or great friends.

The students at the University of Leeds are the most amazing I've ever met. They welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home from the minute my jet-lagged butt got there!
