I really like how my course is a blended learning course meaning I can do the work in a way that suits me and my needs. I also really love the union id rate it 10/10 however it does get so busy.

The university is an intellectually stimulating place, with great academic and administrative staff, but unfortunately there is not much support for international students. Especially when it concerns financial support.

The best part of this university is easily the non-academic aspects, such as the wide range of societies available. Unfortunately, despite that, I have been incredibly let down by this university over the last 3 months. I graduated in July of this year with no final grade due to the "marking boycott". 3 months on and not only do I still not have my degree, I have not received the slightest bit of communication about when my degree classification will be ready. This, on top of several other issues across my 4 years at Leeds including the horrific teaching through the pandemic, resitting a Maths module because the average mark was far too high (ie "we all did too well in the exam"), then once we finally got back to in-person teaching just strikes after strikes after strikes. All of this, plus some other issues I'm sure I've already forgotten about, just to have degree delayed for months at the end of it. If nothing else, I would've expected to have my degree at the end of my course. But we couldn't even get the bare minimum. Avoid this University like the plague, because they do not care to even reply to my emails anymore.

Best: Study spaces Accomodation for muslims students with prayer spaces etc Very active societies Lots of help applying for careers related things Worst Very content heavy Very frequent exams Lots of strikes

The campus feel is so great, especially having everything in one place. The university libraries are also great. Leeds feels very compact and cozy without being claustrophobic and its so nice that most students all live in walking distance.

good campus within the city, student support maybe could be better

Very accessible campus, nice city, very close to the city centre and really good balance of nightlife and social life alongside studies. Recently the laid law library changed to open 24/7 making it so much easier for late night study. Some of the buildings are difficult to find and especially for humanities the facilities are not as good as for other subjects. There are no usual lecture rooms or even buildings only regular seminar rooms which makes it hard to find and less communal.

In my study and life at Leeds University, I have met many friends through the school student union. There are often clubs holding activities there. I remember that in the first semester I participated in some hiking and party activities, and at the beginning of the second semester I participated in dance, volleyball, board games and other activities, which enriched my spare time. In these activities, I have met many friends, especially volleyball activities, which can be played twice a week. I can't help falling in love with volleyball. But in my opinion, Leeds University also has some shortcomings. For example, in sports, the gym of our school is not equipped with a track or a field for track and field events, which makes me very distressed. But in general, my graduate program at Leeds University is quite substantial

The best aspect of the University of Leeds is its location and feel. You can bask in the feeling of a true Northern English city and it fills you with a sense of belonging. A very student friendly city surround it and it provides much in the way to explore, exercise without need of a gym and ways to enjoy the weather whilst not leaving the centre or campus. However, the worst aspects are that of the Student Union and Student Support. It is completely biased in the ways of who it supports and who gets it, very class-discriminatory and very race-favoured. And the Student Union has a student elected body that effectively does nothing. Nothing changes every year after the election of new people who just have the same promises and slogans as the last ones, and the ones that do promise better stuff for the campus never succeed. The student elected body also yields no representation for some groups.

There is a sense of community. Everyone is ready and willing to help. The delivery of course content is of a very high standard. More scholarships should be offered/ higher scholarship amounts should be available for undergraduate students.
