HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It is easier to get integrated if you live with other students when you arrive to a new country
Personal comments:
It was as good as i expected for a well known british university This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
great clubs like "planet earth" and "majestics" some great english pubs like "the original oak". Some interesting events: the "oatley run" must be tried, the wharehouse café organises interesting events; the union's cine-club is great. The city does not have many places to visit but the surroundings are interesting This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Professor Bell's lectures are not to miss. Unfortunately I have heard that he is not in Leeds anymore since he is Professor in Oxford now. Criminal law courses are also very interesting
