Personal comments
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.

I stayed at Leodis Student Apartments, which is a great place to live because its fairly new. The flats are clean, big, well furnished and each room has its own private bathroom.

Personal comments
One way to save some money on food and day-to-day groceries is to always look for sales. Even small convenience stores have items on sale. A good way to save money at clubs and bars is to look for flyers that either get you in with cheap cover or even free. There are many students handing out flyers every day in school for different places so you can check them out. Also, inside clubs you can get certain drinks for a pound or on a 3-for-1 deal that can save you a lot of money.

Final comments
Going on exchange to the University of Leeds was a great experience that I'll always remember. Leeds is mainly a student town and its very easy to meet people and make new friends. The nightlife in Leeds is amazing and there are things to do every night of the week. I would recommend the University of Leeds to all those thinking about an international exchange program.
