University of Leeds Reviews

The university is amazing, it's a shame it's ruined by awful, boring people that try too hard.

The union has fruity fridays. That is all.

What's not to love? Our union has its own bars and clubs, the staff are lovely and there's no excuse to be bored!

Academically, marvellous. Student experience wise, so much fun.

great uni, love my society, good architecture

Excellent, no complaints to be honest

LUU fruity is a great night out

Good campus, bad food. Consists of an array of clubs and society

University of Leeds is such a great university for every type of student. It is very diverse and offers such a wide range of courses and activities. There are so many different clubs to join depending on your interests. The uni keeps you up to date on work experience or volunteering opportunities related to your course, they are very career orientated. The staff here are extremely helpful and there are lots of resources offered or available to you if you find yourself struggling with your course. Our student union employs many students. It has a few clubs and a bar in the downstairs area, as well as a shop, vending machines, cash machines and places to eat. There is also a small Santander bank in the student union building. The campus is quite large and there are many different buildings which look lovely. The campus is also around a 5-10 minute walk from the city centre, and has a few residences on site should you choose to live in halls on campus.

Amazing university, couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.

Student union has been essential in my time at university however I would like to see more help for arts careers

Not worth it. Very monetised uni. Once you've got here they don't really care as long as they get the money.

Huge campus with lots of facilities and places to eat/drink/study and socialise. Loads of clubs and societies to choose from and huge support from the university to be involved. The students union is the best bit about Leeds and has loads of bars/shops/clubs right in the centre of campus.

Stylus is great, some good bands play there. No clear signs to rooms where clubs are so no idea where they are. WiFi always pretty solid. The Edge gym is top

One of the most underrated universities around. Branded snobby and just seen as 'better' because of teaching quality, but the facilities are some of the best around!

Leeds nightlife is lit bro better for bunnin, only really wanted to winge about my accom because the geezas won't give me ma deposit back and now I'm being forced to tell u bout my whole life

The campus is really my type. But the student service centre is extremely silly.

The campus was amazing. The student union was so involving.

Librarys and computer clusters are very good

Leedsleedsleeds. Great university, amazing city. Wouldn't change universities for anything.

I wish the Uni had more workspaces - spaces just to sit down, plug in your laptop and do some work - the libraries always seem to be full!

Eduroam can be a little slow at times but it's one of the very few downsides to the university. The libraries and other facilities are so well equipped and popular that it can be hard to find space to study at times as everyone is making the most of what the university has to offer.

Great facilities and overall great place to study

There are so many clubs to get involved in. Not only to participate to help lead and developed as well.

Absolutely love the university there's very little I would fault

Good, definitely come to this uni it's worth it

I've only joined a couple of societies, but the taster sessions I went to were all great, the feel of the place is really good and the staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Not sure about the careers service yet as still first year but overall great campus, location within Leeds is fantastic, campus is beautiful and compact, union has great facilities such as shops and food as well as social areas and bars

Leeds is a great university with a vibrant campus and union offering great opportunities

Great university, many opportunities to get involved in things you're interested in

Love it here! Really modern and good facilities!

Can get internet literally everywhere in leeds. There are plenty of societies to join which throw incredible events. Everything is on campus if you need. In the union there are places to eat and every friday and saturday it turns into a club. Great fun.

Leeds University is the best place to spend your year abroad. It does not matter how you like studying because you will find the perfect place in any of the libraries. I have never been a library person but I really enjoy reading in Laidlaw library looking through the window when it's getting dark. Furthermore, clubs and societies help you to discover what you really like and gives you the opportunity to try new things. Being part of a society helps you to meet a lot of new people and is so much fun. It really makes a difference in your life. Finally, one of my favourite places on campus is the union where I have spent the best nights out while being in Leeds. You do not expect a lot of people going to uni on a Friday night but without any doubt Fruity is the place to be.

I could not have picked a better University.

Great Uni, works perfectly, love it.

Fantastic Union and Societies, shame about the Wifi.

Love the uni! Great location and so many opportunities! The facilities such as the library and gym are great, fruity Friday at the union isn't bad either !

I didn't make many friends at Uni, but I do have a bird now and a house on the way. I've also managed to scrounge myself a half decent car.

You can have a great time studying at this uni. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Everyone wants you to have great time at uni, so your job is only to find what you would like to do (societies)

So huge you feel very lonely sometimes

campus amazing and easy to find way round even though you do spend most time in building that your subjects taught in. havent taken much advantage of societies but all seem well run and passionate. joined the ski society to go on the ski trip and that was amazing! union good from what i hear. careers service amazing, so many talks held and lots of people to ask. wifi amazing all round campus including the gym and all libraries.

The university itself is beautiful and the support off admin staff is unreal however i felt that sometimes the tutors were less than forthcoming with being of assistance with having witness arguing and clear breakdown of professional staff relationships due to a groups final mark which is very unprofessional. I graduate this year and have been waiting for a mark which is now 2 days late and am incredibly fed up!!

The free WiFi is better than the one I pay for at Concept Place.

Leeds has been a great experience as an international student. Great, helpful teaching staff who go out of their way to help. Great facilities and beautiful accessible campus just a few minutes from the city centre. One of the best student unions in the country as well.

Great university with excellent facilities for students, including academics, clubs & societies and sports. I'm glad I chose to study at Leeds

Been excellent thus far, top institution, social side well compliments the top academics.

I LOVE LEEDS SO MUCH great socially, great academically, great sport-ally... except in rugby at varsity

The University is incredible, it has everything you could ask for and all within a small distance from each other.

so far it's been good loads to do and so many society's!

Exactly what I look for in uni.

Professors do not care for undergrads, far more consumed in their own research and up their own a**e. Uni is full of toffs and the "gap yah" types. You can only have fun at this uni through socs and clubs if you have money.

I hated every second of being at leeds. I had student finance issues and I received no info from the uni at all until I moved into my halls and by that time I was behind on half the stuff I needed to do to register as a student. Long story short, even though the fact I didn't get student finance was the universities fault for not dealing with me through clearing the way they were supposed to, I was stuck with £6k debt I was told I had until the end of February to pay out of my own pocket (it was January when I had this dumped on me). They don't care about you as students they see you as customers. Majority of students not very friendly, staff are mediocre at best. I turned down Edinburgh to go to leeds and that is so far the biggest mistake of my life. Avoid leeds uni, literally anywhere else is better.

Really friendly uni, in a nice setting. Staff, for the most part, are very helpful and supportive. The careers centre provides excellent assistance when it comes to looking for part-time jobs.

Amazing uni with amazing nightlife.

I came to Leeds an introvert and I leave first year a confident being who loves life and is always happy

Leeds has an amazing city centre campus, great location, facilities and uplifting environment. Opportunities wise they are second to none. I have partaken in international trips with university charities, completed a year studying abroad and now I am currently on a fully funded summer school in Salamanca for a month learning Spanish. Thanks so much Leeds!

Best students union! Lots of career opportunities and career fairs!

The best time ever... Loved every moment.

Leeds is a fantastic university with plenty of career opportunities and activities to be involved in! Picking leeds was the best choice and I wouldn't change it at all

An amazing university, in a great city.

My first year at Leeds has been amazing. The lecturers are great. The campus is gorgeous. Accommodation is nice and I have no complaints. The best decision I've ever made was to come to Leeds.

It's indescribable just perfect i can't put it into words

University of Leeds was the best choice I ever made!

Best years of my life have been spent here!

Fantastic university with great facilities and city. Best in the country.

A city with great character supported by a vibrant and research intensive University

Absolutely love my university, they're really working hard to ensure that all of these boxes are filled to a great standard.

Got here through clearing, couldn't be more pleased! It is the perfect combination of being a genuine campus, but is right next to the centre of a major city. Hyde park/ headingly is a really fun place to live in later years.

Leeds has the best community feel whilst having the city at its doorstep

Leeds has the best community feel whilst having the city at its doorstep

After my first year at Leeds, I can confidently say that I have had the most incredible year of my life thus far. The opportunities available are endless and the facilities are second to none. The university is constantly investing to ensure that students are provided with the best possible education (this can be seen through the brand new Laidlaw Library and the investment plans to expand the already amazing students union). In addition to this, the quality of teaching is superb: lecturers and tutors are always readily available and the support network I have received has been invaluable. Leeds as a city is also a great place to live, comprising of a vibrant community and many fun places to go. I am so happy to have chosen Leeds and am sure that there are very few universities with similar opportunities and collegiate atmosphere to help students plan for the future.

Great university with great support for students to go with the excellent teaching

It's a great campus with so many facilities, clubs, societies and events.

Leeds University is a diverse, humble, yet prestigious institution. The students are friendly and the city is vibrant. The university does not discriminate and seeks to further the education of those from less advantaged and diverse backgrounds-for example, the access to Leeds module. The university itself has a superb campus with many beautiful buildings and elements from each subject taught there are splashed around.

The friendliest and happiest campus to be part of. The work is tough but also enjoyable. The whole experience could not come any better than the university and City of Leeds.

Best university in the whole wide world!!

I'm an international student and I could say that I actually do feel like home when I'm in Leeds! I am so glad I chose Leeds university. There are a lot of support groups especially for international students, making sure that everything goes in place for us also making us feel comfortable knowing that we're far from where our family members are. I had so much fun in my first year in Leeds

Leeds is a wonderful university with lots of opportunities for their students.

Absolutely love the students union, great facilities and events always on. I have even been able to get a job doing what I love from my course and it's only been one year, best year of my life.

A great University. Campus university based right by the city centre means everything is together and easy to find.

The campus and union are amazing although lack of computers and dodgy wifi does let it down slightly

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Best experience I could have

LUU Makes the University of Leeds the most amazing university to be part of. Genuinely, an incredible community, fantastic to be part of - and really helps you to Love your Time at Leeds. Thanks Leeds University Union!

It's ite but tries to be too cool, eg not selling bottled water is just bloody inconvenient. Big uni and good facilities and really close to the city which is great. Also a huge left wing bias throughout the whole uni so be prepared to be made to feel like a piece of s*** if you're not a raging liberal / socialist.

Best uni with brilliant opportunities, always something to do, loads of societies and a brilliant SU with a fantastic club night at Friity

Lots of cafes across campus and good facilities in most places. Any changes that need to be done are either in process or about to have work started ie. SU. Career opportunities in the union are only advertised once a year and you have no idea when this is. Good, fast wifi available EVERYWHERE on campus

Student union has lots going on. Societies don't do as many socials as I'd hoped (even when they said they would). Internet is awful, can only connect through a wire in my room. At uni it is good though.

Sick university, best nightlife ever and best hockey team in the world Pearson out *drops mic*

Union is amazing - it has absolutely everything you need and they're still going to refurbish it into something better in the summer. Lots of well placed, well stocked libraries and a be one on the way. Careers centre is always open and hosting events and things. Wifi is good and all over campus but it could be quicker in terms of download speed and speed of initial connection. So many societies - literally anything you could think of we have it and if not we have the opportunity to create it!

Fantastic uni. Very glad I chose it

Best choice of my life going to Leeds. Be prepared to see some of the most edgy people ever, other than the eBay shoppers, it's great!

Everything is brilliant really. My friends are jealous of how awesome it is. We only have complaints about little things here at Leeds, and when I hear other people talk about their unis it really seems like we've got the best, easily.

Fantastic uni, I couldn't have picked better. The union is fantastic and there's so much to do and get involved in with societies and events. Also a great careers website/volunteering opportunities website and department. Beautiful campus.

Good university with good teaching and opportunities and extremely social atmosphere with a variety of nightlife.

Awesome uni! So much fun and so many libraries too! It seems like the perfect balance!

a nice campus with lots of places to study and socialise

A campus uni 10 minutes walk from the city, you get the best of both worlds. First class facilities and quality educators as well as a very diversed student body, I'm glad I picked this uni. And it has the best student union in the UK!

Leeds is amazing! It is in the best location in the city and also the country making it so easy to see friends elsewhere. Nightlife is insane, and there's also so many nice pubs and bars and restaurants for chilled evenings. The uni is beautiful and there's so much positivity around campus, and there's everything I wanted from a good gym, libraries, student union and social areas

Loved my time at uni of Leeds - my course (Medical Sciences) was brilliant and made a good group of friends from my course. The opportunity to try new things through clubs and societies is huge - one of the best student unions in the UK! Plus overall a really nice city - particularly with all the new developments (e.g. trinity) popping up.

The internet is very poor although I think that is same for any university using eduroam. I can not recommend Leeds as a university city enough. It's a fantastic place!

adore my university. First class education and a brilliant place to be!

Good uni, good courses and very nice students.

Leeds Uni

Great union and societies Campus within the city (best of both worlds) Good accommodation

Cons?
A lot of joint honours courses offered but parented by only 1 of the school leading to bad communication issues
