University of Leeds Reviews

The best university experience I could wish for

Leeds Uni is great so far! I am an international student and the process has been good. Lots of societies to join and a great place to socialize. They have a lot of facilities to help with jobs, internships, and career help. Student support has been helpful, just make sure you don't leave things like extension requests to the last minute during exam season as it takes a long time to get a reply. Accommodations really vary so research for your first year. Lots of things to do on and off-campus, and the city center is accessible and has tons of clubs and food choices. Uni of Leeds has been affected by the teacher strikes, so be aware of that. There have been issues campus-wide with certain classes and programs not offering the best service due to this.

Everything is fine and facility is little bit old

good uni, lots of options for societies

Modern campus in a great location just outside of city centre so not like some that are scattered around a city and difficult to find, everything in one place and easy to navigate. Large study spaces and libraries with coffee shops on campus. Wifi can be temperamental but works majority of time. All modern buildings and great student union with its own club downstairs.

All the fitties are at Eddy B!!!!!!

Very good university and campus

Great school for studying with great teachers and students around.everyone will like the campus and the library here ^^

The school is beautiful and the facilities are complete.

Great but too much strikes. Many courses are cancelled and that’s unfair.

The campus is friendly lots of things to do, lots of study places there's park surrounding the campus so if you're feeling like going for a walk its great. Safe neighborhood everybody is friendly

I chose the university because of the city. The facilities in the campaus are great, with good enviroment.

I have good study experience in the university. The equipments in university are very well to use.

It is overall a nice place to study at

Good all-round university whether you are interested in academia, sports, socials or all of the above.

Really good learning and living experience

I really like the environment and the study experience here

Great. The teachers are helpful and the classmates are friendly. The teaching is both practical and theoretical.

This school is perfect and wonderful

Good uni overall. However, they need to stop using covid as an excuse to not give us a proper teaching experience considering there aren’t any covid restrictions left. Some courses are better than others though

The student community is great as well as teachers who are often understanding.

Great multicultural experience, well-rounded curriculum and experienced teaching staff

It is a really sociable university with a good teaching standard when there aren't strikes

Nice experience at the University

Amazing people! Very good facilities with good socialising :)

Love it. Staff are nice, students are nice.

I do no only enjoyed a total professional academic environment but also experienced a wonderful social atmosphere, which is so different from the university in China.

I have had an absolutely wonderful time at the University of Leeds the union and campus are superb

It is a good uni comparing to the price however it depends on type of studies

University of Leeds is one of the best places to be.

I love the campus and its facilities. Lots of refreshing greenery within campus. The union organises diverse activities that are very welcoming and open for everyone. There's a wide range of clubs and societies that hosts regular events. There are lots of spaces to grab a coffee with mates after that pesky 9 AM seminar as well.

Not much to complain about. The atmosphere and study environment are quite nice.

Very good support services, there's always a website to go to for any and all issues you may have. An incredible amount of clubs to choose from. I myself chose this because of all the good reviews that this place got, and I gotta say, they weren't lying. There isn't anything particularly bad about this university.

Love it here! Have made friends for life and just an amazing place

Great uni. Great Student Union. Really Student friendly

Amazing and a friendly campus to be apart of

Outstanding and state-of-the-art campus and facilities for study and leisure purposes.Perfect connection for studying and entertainment throughout my time here.

Good place, good education, the degree will help

Absolutely amazing experience here! I love the library here and had a perfect one-year master degree!

It was a great opportunity to begin my undergraduate journey at university of Leeds

University of Leeds offer a holistic curriculum to improve the students knowledge and practical skills

Great University, friendly teachers and amazing academic facilities.

Summarise your experience in 30 words

Studying at leeds has made my student life so far better than I could have ever imagined. professors are outstanding but kind and encouraging and the campus and the union have to offer is incredible compared to anyone else’s universities that I’ve heard about. Leeds is such a vibrant and exciting city and the university of leeds withholds the same Russel group values and standards without the need for uptight traditions like matriculation. It’s a modern prestigious university that’s doing everything right.

Really great university, more than recommend.

So many societies and clubs / sports teams to get involved it to meet loads of new people. Also the library and other study areas are so calming and modern and clean.

Great university, very student oriented in a student ciyy

Good place to study….. international welcome team is very help ful

Russel Group Uni, great city to live in.

Excellent university with the best facilities for its students to thrive in

My time at university of Leeds helped me to grow more enthusiastic and knowledgeable about my area.

It’s a really good uni with a great student union and city life

It’s a great university with amazing environment. Very international student- friendly

So far, my experience at the Uni has been great! I’ve had a great time developing my understanding of my subjects, and my lectures have remained interesting despite both covering difficult content, and being online!

Very good and accessible campus, nice atmosphere in the union

I love that the university has such a mix of buildings on campus in terms of modern and more classic. There’s a gym on campus with a pool that’s very useful and membership is included in my rent as I stay in halls. There’s a huge range of societies with things as niche as Quidditch society. I think that there’s a society for everyone. Many of the societies however run events purely based on clubbing which is exclusive and also gets boring so it would be nice if they could be more imaginative. The mind matters and the high on life society to name a few have socials not revolves around alcohol or nights out. The Union also run a lot of events e.g. arts and crafts session particularly in freshers week and there’s been dog therapy sessions through the year. There’s also lots of spaces for society meet-ups. The careers service offer a number of appointments and I get many emails about placements and other opportunities. I have never had issues with wifi on campus so far.

The PhD supervisors are not very good

A good laugh, lots of societies

I’ve had a great experience here. The lectures are friendly and interesting and I am loving my course. The facilities are good, however I would like access to more facilities as a GCI student (Art rooms and music Practice rooms)

Great University with a range of excellent facilities and courses

Currently in first year. Loving uni, always getting emails with different opportunities, tutors and academics are always friendly and willing to help, responsive too. Amazing library and campus. Filled with various students and people, love university of Leeds

Only been here a month but love it. really good feel about the place. lots of opportunities to make friends. nice green areas in the city too

Fantastic on campus facilities.

Great Uni! I have made some fantastic friends here. The teaching is of high quality, and the libraries have a lot of resources.

In my second year studying engineering, absolutely no problems so far

Top teir university lots of great people and good facilities

Very good very good teachers , very good area

I have had a great experience at the University of Leeds so far (2021/22 academic year) The campus and its facilities are great. All of the academic staff I have encountered so far have been very friendly, and show a genuine interest in their field of study and helping students succeed There also appears to be a lot of great services to help make you feel settled in, ensure you have a positive experience overall, and guide you with your career after your studies

I studied the foundation year in the International Study Centre. It was an online year, but I liked the campus where I resided near to it, and the University of Leeds ambassadors were very nice to interact with even when studying the foundation year. Overall positive experience.

Beautiful university and campus. First class facilities

Nice place to study. But some teachers can be really mean

nice school，nice course，nice staff

I don't know much about my uni because we've never had any on-site teaching and couldn't even go library much.

All been online teaching due to covid so haven’t had much experience of the facilities

Due to covid my university was online for the year but it was still managed nicely and content was taught well.However there was some instances where everyone had problems with online servers which was annoying.

I had a brilliant time at University and Did not get home sick as there are always activities keeping you busy and counsellors to get in touch with.

Had potential to be amazing if 2021 wasn't an online covid bubble. (right place, wrong year)

The university is good but there are some problems that I could not find the proper person to deal with my issues sometimes.

Everything is amazing , the facility the lecturer

good academic environment，beautiful city，warm-hearted teachers

Excellent University with great facilities and support for students. Have enjoyed my experience so far!

Everything about uni of Leeds is amazing! I love it when everything among the facilities came along with my expectations, especially during this hard time we are all going through.

Though I was promised an in person experience I got 0 hours at the actual university- it was all online so I can't tell you much about the facilities. the library spaces were open which was a nice place to get your work done. the union bars are very cheap. again because of covid societies were limited and no socials really. Law society was helpful on the career aspect but still not sure if it was worth the £30 probably not. the wifi is overall good but there were days were it would break which would be rather annoying but a good excuse to not do work :)

Environment is excellent and member staff are so professional

Outstanding course and excellent accommodation options

Leeds University have provided me with excellent employability skills

It’s a great university, nice location and easy to move around. It’s close to the city which i love as well. I couldn’t really experience the uni life due to the pandemic

Wifi is shocking and the ethernet port in my room didn't work. Didn't get to experience any clubs or societies due to covid and most of campus was closed while being here. I'm sure it would of been better had it not been covid but not much I can do about it now.

Really nice, social university. Haven’t been on campus a lot due to Covid however on the occasions that I have been it looked really nice

Great university! Course structure is very good and professors are quite friendly.

So much opportunity and diversity

This was a difficult year but we made the most out of it

Right near the centre, big student union!

Good not really been to the university except for the library once or twice this year because of Rona

University is good, library is nice. not been much because of corona.

I have had the best time at Leeds uni!

Lectures are informational and teachers are helpful. There are many societies to choose from and the campus has food.

Great lectures and support, good resources and great teaching

Everything online atm so hard to judge

Previously attended other universities and dropped out but Leeds has a much more friendlier vibe! Lots of ways to make new friends with the societies and a great city to live in!

It is fun to study here. People are amazing.

Wouldnt really know not been on campus

Haven’t had a chance to properly experience it due to covid!

Internet not always the best but good common room and social facilities

Amazing university wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Not really been to it yet but campus is lovely. Perfect location. Some teachers lack motivation other to that some inspiring professors. Worth it for the vibe

Great offering of societies, nice student union,

wonderful uni, fantastic facilities. Would highly recommend.

I haven’t had the chance to access the uni campus so I don’t know

Great uni, love the city and looking forward to in person lectures!

Library facilities are lovely and the new system to book is great, campus is really nice to walk around.

Lovely campus, everything in one place, good course

Difficult to review due to current lockdown restrictions, disappointing that many clubs and societies haven't taken up the initiative to reach out to students to run virtual events. Have signed up to many mailing lists and never hear anything, the SU could have done more to encourage socs to reach out to new students this academic year. The campus itself looks lovely and never had internet issues while on site.

Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else

Very nice student union and events and the campus is lovely

Great uni, amazing support from the facilities and brilliant student nightlife.

A GOOD UNIVERSITY WITH FRIENDLY ENVIORMENT

Amazing place, surely a good place to live in and to hangout with friends.

Great university and great eduction

A very good university with high quality of education

So happy i’m in uni of Leeds!

Leeds University is also a very good place, it is full of academic atmosphere. I can interact very friendly with the teacher, but unfortunately the recent impact of covid-19 has become an online class

Everyone is sooo kind and friendly. I love my home and I think it’s the best apartment in Leeds.

Overall its a good university. I cant really speak much to it because I haven't been on campus all year.

Good uni but could definitely be a thousand times better

Due to covid-19, I have only been to the campus twice and I really hope to meet my classmates and my teachers!

Awesome accommodation and service! Staffs here are so friendly. It is new and very clean. The great location makes my life in Leeds more convenient. There are also many great activities, everything thing is perfect!

Top University, near to City Centre

A great university for postgrad students. The staff at the school of math do a great job. The food from the refectory is quite expensive and unhealthy though.

Friendly university with a great campus

Not been able to go on campus much due to COVID but even the limited time I have been on campus, it has been everything I needed and more

The facilities are incredible, lovely campus

Great in general! Good teaching and you can leverage your chances of getting good job if you make use of societies and other extracurriculars. Leeds is famous for student life. It definitely is better in many aspects than London.

Due to COVID 19 I haven’t been on campus much. When I have staff have been helpful

I had a wonderful time studying in this uni. Coming from India, this uni never once disappointed with it's efforts to make me feel at home. Regular events and an understanding faculty are like cherry on top.

Good overall. The only thing I didn’t like was that they made me fly all the way back to the UK during covid saying that the seminars would be in person and once I got here it is now online.

The University of Leeds is an awesome campus and a place to study. I studied two MA here in English Literature and Communication and Media and now I am gearing up for my PhD in the latter. If I did not have such an awesome time and all the best academic support I would not choose this uni over and over again ❤️️

A great friendly university with interesting courses, beautiful campus and lots of great shops nearby

Great Uni for academics, sports and socials!

Very good university which provides me many good memory including studying and living.

The facility at University is very nice and the professor all very friendly and good. I think it is a good experience in leeds.

Loved my time at the University of Leeds!

I was a postgraduate student doing my Masters and it was very emotionally draining. However, it was the most rewarding and life changing experience due to its supportive environment, good student union with delicious food and also the food markets every Monday on the campus itself. I really like the libraries as well where I used to study for exams and do my coursework. Access to the City Centre was also very easy from the campus where I used to explore and eat out a lot. The Careers Service were also very helpful in helping me to find direction in where I wanted to go next and have managed to secure a PhD and funding to continue my time at Leeds. I would with confidence recommend Leeds for future students because of its great supportive environment and great places to eat out. Also, great place to figure out what you want out of creating an independent life and Leeds can enhance your true capabilities. Ever though my Masters is over, my time in Leeds has not come to an end. :)

I really love Leeds and enjoy studying there! The campus is comfortable and the buildings are really nice!

Good range of food stalls on campus.

Really fun uni - make sure you get a good accommodation

Thank you for such a great time in Leeds!

Leeds University is really beautiful and I love everywhere here. All the buildings are perfect. And I really enjoy the food in the restaurant.

One of the best years of my adulthood life. I must say one year is very short for such a fantastic experience, but I feel like I gained so many things during my time at the University of Leeds. The staff and lecturers are kind and helpful, the modules structures are fantastic, and we have the best student union in the UK. I would never trade my experience at the University of Leeds with anything.

Awful experience, wish I chose a metropolitan. I don't know what they're doing to the students. But during my time, the referendum vote meant life or death. If you go to university, don't bring up politics. I didn't gain a single friend, got asked to leave multiple societies, which ironically I got suggested to join because apparently it's unhealthy to just work, Don't listen to people who tell you that you can "spread your wings", you can't. By law you can only do 120 credits a year, yet you're only in University less than 30 hours a week; sometimes less than 10. No matter how fast you do your work, it will not be accepted unless you submit it within a small frame near the submission date. I didn't go to University to get drunk and have drugs, I went to study, work hard, have my head down 60-70 hours a week. A total disappointment. I shouldn't have to go the same pace as the hungover dude at the back.

If you are a sound person who likes house parties and socialising with a ton of interesting and unique people then this is almost definitely the best university experience in the UK. The campus is top tier, so is the union, and Hyde park is just a one mile radius of almost all student houses and it has been one of the best experiences I could imagine to live there for 3 years.
