University of Leeds

I highly recommend School of English at Leeds University to everyone. Leeds is a very relaxed city and a place where it is easy to feel like home. I advise everyone to try living with English students as this might be the best chance to get to know them. It is also very important to get to know the other students in your modules as soon as possible, the best way is simply to talk to someone on the first day. Getting to know the other international students is much easier, it is too easy to just hang around with them all the time. Enjoy your studies in Leeds!

I was very lucky to live with only English students as this is the best way to learn the language properly. My flatmates became close friends and they were also a great help in the beginning as they would assist me with getting to know my way around Leeds. The rent was twice the amount of what I would have paid for the same standard of housing in Norway, but housing is quite expensive in the U.K. We had cleaners coming by every week, but I would have prefered to do it myself. My overall experience with the accomodation was very good.

Leeds University is a place where many cultures and backgrounds meet, you will really enjoy the time spent there. Also, if you ever go, dont forget to visit York a close city and really worth the visit.

I loved it! It was really nice to experience a different kind of university life, a different way of studying, a real campus which I had never had! Meeting al those new people from everywhere in the world! I can recommend it to everyone!

I thought my money would last longer in the U.K. than in Norway as things are generally less expencive. The living costs turned out to be a little much, and I did not try to save money to begin with, which is always a mistake. A good advice is to find a part-time job as soon as possible as it will help your money last longer and it can also be a great experience.
