Housing
Type of housing: Private Student Accomodation
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because in Leeds there is a lot of cheaper, affordable accomodation for students to choose from. The other students that lived in the hall where extremely noisy and got back drunk and moody every single night!

Personal comments
Being a EU postgrad meant that the university couldn't provide on campus accomodation, so I can't really comment on that.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I wish I had known how demanding my course would be! If you're interested in postgrad studies in the UK please make an in-depth research of the universities you'd like to study and ask for any information packs listing modules and course structure.

Personal recommendation
Leeds university is extremely vibrant and diverse and has a very good academic reputation. Teachers are friendly and easy to approach, however it's inherent in their teaching role to demand a lot of hard work on your part!

Final comments
Go to Natwest if you dont have a UK bank account! They are very open and friendly and will spare you a lot of hassle! One branch is opposite Uni and there are plenty of cashpoints across the city. For accomodation advice visit unipol's website and finally take it easy when the workload starts building up and reward yourself with a coffee, drink or shopping spree! Leeds is a wonderful place to study and you will make many friends from all over the world.Hope this helps!
