University of Leeds Reviews

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.

The university is good. Sound frastracture and professional teaching staff. A lot of social activities.

Good facilities and universities overall

Good univerusty. Nice experience witj good people and fun times and good night life.

Great city and loved the facilities. My graphic communication design course was poor though.

The University of Leeds was excellent in all areas. No complaints.

Good uni, great student union and campus 10 mins from city centre

leeds is one of the most famous universities across the world. And the school is very beautiful. in addition, the academic atmosphere is very nice.

I am a foundation year student, and the University of Leeds is my goal, I want to try my best to go to there and enjoy my campus life.

University of Leeds is a perfect place to study

To be honest, going to the University of Leeds for my Masters (Bioscience) was the worst decision I have made academically. The Faculty of Biological Science is a complete shambles causing delays in feedback, and is rife with miscommunication. If you complain, it goes nowhere and meeting with the head of course was terrible as I was doing well and therefore had my complaint dismissed. The stress this course gave was unbelievable and don't get me started about applying for mitigation. Even with medical evidence, they don't approve mitigation despite a GP advising why it should be granted. The whole course was a disgrace leading to me leaving with nothing. I would strongly suggest that people choose a different university.

Great University, very social and diverse

The people in the Uni of Leeds make it what it is. Theres always someone to help

Probably the best mix of academic excellence and party life in the country. Definitely the best student union in the country, LUU is awesome. Careers service are okay but nothing special. The campus may have looks that only a mother can love but no one ever has much else bad to say about the uni.

Love it here! Having a lot of fun

good，many activities but I have never attend them

it's all good so far. but considering the situation recently, the University should take some precautions

Overall pretty decent. Would be better if they’d hurry up the building works

Very good teaching and facilities, good social environment around campus, plenty of things to get involved with.

The University of Leeds is an enjoyable place to study. There’s always something happening on campus and loads of societies for you to find like-minded people!

Very good all round - haven't used the careers service so cannot give an accurate rating on that, but I do receive frequent emails about careers fairs which is beneficial

I am throughly enjoying studying here.

First two years were amazing with great tutors who were enthusiastic about our work. Left for an internship in September 2017 and returned autumn 2018 When returned the course had a completely new course leader who unlike in previous years, final year was run by a guy who had no experience in education but instead had experience in the New York fashion industry This is way too old school for what a modern course needs! He never had anything good to say about our work and was often plain disrespectful about our work -making many of us cry. I felt like I could never discuss my ambitions creatively whilst in Final year & it always had an affect on my personal life on this course. I developed depression and just felt worthless due to the criticism received. In the 2nd semester of final year I managed to pull it together (without the help of the main tutors of the course the garment techs were the best)but do NOT study here under the new course leader!it’s toxic!!

Research intensive university that continues to try and improve in all necessary areas.

Comfortable environment to study in, good representatives of the student community, however the career services are always full and has insufficient resources

The staff are helpful and I was able to access help when needed

The campus is big and clean and smoking free. The surroundings are very nice.

Everything is good. I enjoy the life here.

Great courses, and close accommodation

I feel like home even though I am an international student

Diverse and helpful university. School of Law always has something going on like a breakfast, socials, etc. but downside is, there is a massive drinking culture if you're like me and don't drink. Although there are societies like High on Life which are for non-drinkers so very diverse and respectful to other cultures/beliefs.

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
