Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
At night you have many places to go out with your friends. A meeting point for ERASMUS students was a pub called "The Eldon" close to the campus. Inside tha campus the meeting point is "The Old Bar" and in general that place. My favourity pub was "The Social" and old house in the way to Headingley, with vheap beer and nice atmosphere.... it was like to be in your own house. In general Leeds has hundred of places to go out....and enjoy yourself in the night. If you want to dance...heaven & hell is a good place, althought you can find many new ones now. Dont miss the different activities that the Leeds Film Festival runs during some days in October. And "the Cube" an open air Icerink during January and February in the Millenium Square. And the Open air Music Festival ...music in the streets that the BBC runs in Leeds and York during some days....in general..dont loose your time at home... enjoy about all Leeds is offering to you.

Where you go out will depend mainly on where you live. If your housing is in the city you are close to the clubs and pubs downtown. Near campus there are plenty of student dominated pubs with cheap drinks. Further north of campus in the Headingly area is throughly student dominated pubs. Night clubs are downtown, with one in the student union. Try to get to a Leeds United match (even though they have been demoted!) or a rugby match, they are a nice change from a night drinking at the bars.

My local bar ended up being Fab in the main street. It is a place with a very special atmosphere, a must. Walkabout and The Library are greatpubs/bars too, and they all have reasonable prices. The international student cafe was a very good place to meet in the beginning in order to get to know the other international students. There are hundreds of places to go out, in and around Leeds, which makes it a good city to live in. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I liked so much to go to a pub which sundays night was music alive. I enjoyed so much in this place. in the other hand you have to know the night spost how, magestic, the beer house,etc. But the thing that i liked to much was the owns parties, at home. sometimes really quiet, just talk, and others really funny. Anyway, i prefered to go out the city, go to visit some village, places, mountain, etc. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Definately Monday Nights at the Fruit Cupboard...I will never have an 80s night quite as amazing as those! Also, Tiger Tiger was a really fun club and good atmosphere. Favorite pubs: The Original Oak (great garden) THE LIBRARY (really young and student oriented w/ cheap drinks) and The Box (the most beautiful people at that place!)

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

Spoilt for choice... Nightlife is best to explore with your friends. There are some lovely old style English pubs if you look closely in the little alleys off the main shopping streets. But most importantly do not miss the beautifull nature all around. The Dales, Peak and Lake distrikt etc. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Oh my! The city of Leeds has so much to offer, from shopping to dancing to museums. I loved the theatre and I saw a musical too. You have to go to Tiger Tiger on a Monday and do Tequilia on Thursday. And don't miss out of Evolution on Saturday (student night) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

We tried to go to as many places as possible and didn't really do a lot of places twice! But we had a weekly meeting point at the Eldon, every tuesday a lot of intenational students met there, almost all international students knew about that and it made a lot of contacts possible!

Some of the best nightclubs to go to are Majestyk (on Thursdays), Rehab (on Fridays), Life (can't remember which day it was). Harveys is a small bar with really cheap drinks. Good place to get drunk before going to a club. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
