Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Graduated from this university last year and have very fond memories of it. Will recommend it to those who enjoy a good social atmosphere and a student union that works for the students to help them.

A small step in to this university became a giant leap in my son's life. The Environmental Engineering and Project Management course made the childhood dream of making the world a better a reality.

University of Leeds is the place to be. It's for the independent and outgoing who will enjoy exploring it's great location.
Get to know your academic advisor. Feeling comfortable going to them makes your entire freshmen experience so much easier. They want to help you, let them. If you find that you really enjoy a specific professor, they want you to go to office hours and get to know them - it will pay off, and having a staff member that write great recommendations for you will give you an edge for internships. I've found that the edge that University of Leeds has is the range of classes offered. The classes required for each degree and much more focused than other schools I've looked into. I fell in love with only taking classes that truly interest and intrigue me. I've learned more because of the extra interest and direction that the school allows its students.

I studied at the University of Leeds as an exchange student from the USA and was so inspired by my time there that I transferred to study at Leeds full-time. As a student in the School of Chemistry, the facilities, faculty, and curriculum I have access to are wonderful, and I have received an unprecedented level of support from my professors when expressing confusion about a subject or a desire to meet with them outside of lectures.
The city of Leeds is ideal for students -- small enough to be easily accessible, and large enough to contain everything you could possibly need. Downtown offers a great assortment of pubs, bars, shops, events, and restaurants; and the universities offer an entirely separate set of activities that are equally as interesting and enjoyable. Thanks to the Leeds Student Union, student life at Leeds is packed with societies, events, and social opportunities. The people I have met at Leeds have all been friendly, compelling, active, and welcoming. I can't recommend the University of Leeds highly enough.
