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.
