Housing
Type of housing: Off campus university residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
There are plenty of accommodations around 1km radius of the university, and it is nearly as good as the off-campus university residence.

Personal comments
The security of the off-campus university residence is excellent, and shops are within close reach. Facilities are excellent... but the location of this accommodation is quite far from the university, and you will have to track uphill if you decided to go on foot. No doubt there is a bus service linking directly with the university, but the timing was quite limited then. Overall, the standar of accommodation is much better than on-campus.

Personal comments
Leeds has plenty plenty to offer, just head down to the Corn Exchange area; where the life is, especially the back of Corn Exchange. Look out for the university students' newspaper, you'll find quite a few recommendations.

Academic
Course recommendations
The business courses in LMU is good. E-mails are the best interaction tool with teachers/tutors, but don't expect an immediate reply; give it a day or two. If you require a one-to-one interaction, the best way is to catch them before class, or tag along with them till their next destination.

Personal spending habits
Travelling cost can be a bit on the expensive side, including accommodation, then in my home country; in monetary terms. Afterall, Pound Sterling was strong, and probably is now.
