University of Leeds Reviews

I did a semester abroad in Leeds and I can only recommend you to do the same or at least to do a semester abroad in general. + lost of students in the city + teaching standard is on a high level + small seminars + ...

Good facilities and great campus.

Good uni, full of southerners on ket, people dress like characters from a 70s sitcom,

We STAN Leeds uni, beckett and trinty stuck

Mental health support for Black and ethnic minority students is non existent and support for Black international students is appalling. The union treats the BME societies like second class citizens from my experience of dealing with them, however the university has great facilities and career advancing opportunities. I’d suggest leeds employ a diverse range of mental health support workers who can understand different perspectives and cultural differences.

Most of students are studying hard here.

I had the best first year at UOL. Everyone was so supportive, I became a brand new person and have been able to better myself and my career since beginning.

Love this university, cannot flaw it at all, absolutely incredible

Amazing University. Really well taught course with great lecturers. The campus is great with everything you need. Libraries are amazing too.

Great location- nice mix between campus and city uni. Good services, clubs, union and society.

The university has everything you could need. All the possible support networks are in place if you need them and if you feel like something is missing there are people who will listen and make it happen.

Libraries do not open 24/7 which is a big no. The libraries are basic and limited in amount. Computer clusters are all riddled with disease and filth due to lack of maintenance. The uni is too strict in terms of attendance, and non academic staff (especially student support or admissions) are rude. Buildings are basic (especially engineering). The uni has amazing lab equipment, a good campus layout, and a lot of socializing events. Good food. Good and capable lecturers and staff. Other unis are leaps and bounds ahead of leeds, would not recommend. Sheffield was tons better, but con is the small city centre

There is a huge range of onsite facilities as well as societies. Very good for wanting to pick up a new skill or make friends.

Out of all the things that are amazing the internet is the one thing that I would say need to be updated because it is quite slow, probably because so many people use it but maybe work on getting more routers in?

Real alphas go Leeds uni. Paris of the North. The stuff of dreams.

Good uni. Would choose the same again

The campus, facilities, the LUU (union) and life at Leeds are the best, that a university can offer.

Can't rate the clubs and societies since I didn't join any as I didn't know what was going on living so far from the campus. Good campus, great diversity, nice location, good careers service and module + assignment for my course to help with employability.

I love it here - the whole uni has a work hard, play hard attitude which is essential at university.

Good University and Yorkshire is lovely

Very large campus, close to town, nice union and plenty of societies.

Leeds University Union has helped me out so much. Great food, great beer and super great atmosphere at Old Bar

I am so happy at this university

The campus is huge and it is easy to get lost. There is a lot you can be a part of but no one is goiyto force you. It’s more proactive than forced way of teaching, learning or even socialising. Come with an open mind and fresh attitude and you’ll love it!

Started this year, am loving it. Amazing support facilities and campus. Be nice to everyone, get help if u need it, balance your time and you’ll love it.

Good uni in a good city with lots going on.

Eurodoam WiFi is s*** but it’s the same at all unis I dunno much about the careers stuff bc only first year everything else is sound and the union is ace

Internet is on and off around campus, depends where you are. SU is one of the best in the country and many societies available (although some get significantly more funding than others, regardless of individual achievements)

Leeds Uni is such a nice campus, everything is pretty much in one space and takes about 10 mins to walk for edge to edge. Wifi is better on campus and clicks in much faster than at student housing. Student union is good on a friday for fruity and headphone disco event was one of the best nights ive had in leeds. Some really good bars and food places in the union and the refectory food is so good. Loads of clubs and societies most with a give it a go session before you pay membership. Sports socials are fun too.

Leeds is amazing! Definitely choose Leeds, great both academically and socially

I have no regrets moving here for uni

Better than anybody would expect

university of leeds is a very young city, you will never get tired of the clubs and societies in this city

Best 3 years of my life, always support available, plenty of amazing opportunities and career advice.

it's fantastic in terms of the union and events and also modules and support available from staff and library facilities

Great institution with amazing facilities and studnet union. Lots of support where needed. Top quality teaching.

Great university with talented staff. The way the university is organised and deploys it’s self it’s excellent. Only problem is the buildings are old and ugly, eg Roger Stevens is a mosh pit at times and EC stoner looks like a prison

Great University with such a great feel, a campus Uni but right next to Leeds city centre

University experience is great and the campus itself is big, but I think it would use for adding some more things in the union and if help for students were easier to be found.

It’s is a campus of dreams, education of needs, and a lifetime of memories...

Absolutely incredible University, full of opportunities and experiences that will set you for life.

Great support at Leeds uni with excellent teaching staff as well as fanatic societies to get involved in.

Wow so nice and friendly and fun!!!!!

Ehhhhhhhhhhh it's pretty average

The uni is amazing! i'd recommend it completely.

having a fab time so far, student union in particular is great

The students union is really good and so is the range of societies.

Wifi throughout uni is great. Library is amazing. Others are alright but I am not really active with clubs and societies or the Student Union.

Has such a great feel about the place, made me feel at ease from the moment I came. Facilities here are amazing, especially at the Union.

WiFi is Eduroam so is temperamental at times... Campus is big so you'll only know your way to the SU, your lectures, some libraries and the food. But, it's a nice campus with some green spaces and you have the old, redbrick buildings to make you feel like you're not a disappointment to your parents! Join any society and you'll have a great time! Can't recommend that enough! The SU is great! It has a bank, bars, clubs, shop etc Always careers events and the social media pages are always active! You have to just make the effort to go or read them.

I studied in one of LUBS program, and they have bad classrooms (we didn't get classrooms in business school as it supposed to be). Comparing to the money you spend to study there, I expected much better facilities. The good thing is this university has wide range of societies and activities, which can accommodate your passion and hobbies.

Overall, it's a really good uni, there's lots to get involved with if you put yourself out there. There are always careers events happening. The wifi's not bad on Campus but in my halls it's terrible.

ket societys my fave, not an official society but easy to join, just have to be at leeds really, they feed you it like its tap water (ket water) ket

The internet in the campus is powerful! But the one at Sentinel towers is weaker than your phone data.

Not a bad Uni overall, the campus looks nice but the actual facilities are kinda bad. For a graphic design course they don't even have industry standard machines for the most part and you'll struggle to find a place to work besides you're own flat. The internet doesn't work wirelessly in my flat, so defeats the object of even having it. The students union is non existent besides asking people to constantly fill out surveys and organising Otley Runs every other day. Don't think I've heard from the careers service in my entire life and the clubs + societies just look depressing.

Leeds isn't what you expect it to be. Despite it looking great online with promises of it being super social and the 'ideal' university experience, with a mixture of academia and great nightlife, do not be fooled. Despite Leeds looking great, the reality is very different and not as glossy as the pictures would let on. Rather the lectures are poor, the accommodation is incredibly spread out and un-social and the majority of students do not care about studying but rather fill their time with dnb events and drugs. The city is vast and a concrete jungle, so -again - be prepared what you're getting yourself into coming to Leeds.

Wifi is almost as bad as accomidation wifi

Leeds has a lot to offer! Excellent facilties in terms of libraries and sport, some buildings are a bit old but most have modern interiors. The Union is known to be one of the best in the country and there is always events going on and so many societies to choose from.

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.

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!
