“A truly diverse city”
Rosie F
United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2020
OverallMy course, Environment and Business is a good mix of both scientific environmental research studies and more theoretical business studies. The teaching at Leeds is of excellent standards- often I have more intimate classes like seminars and tutorials over the usual lecture style teachings. Leeds is a very vibrant, bubbly city with lots going on for anyone and everyone!

Personal recommendation
Dont expect the best educational experience and strong test of knowledge. Most students in my department were more focused and sometimes overly focused on drinking and going out, rather than the topics at hand. The students are fun and friendly, but education takes the back burner to having fun.

Final comments
It was the best experience I've had and I learned a lot both about the UK and United States. Sometimes the best way to learn about your home is to leave it for awhile. For Americans, I think it is especially important to see how others view the US and its citizens. Americans must be prepared for HEAVY criticism on multiple topics and characteristics/stereotypes of Americans. It can be difficult and one needs a lot of confidence and self-esteem to endure some of the ridicule that certain foreign citizens have of the States.

“Fantastic opportunities and a great community”

Overall
Chinese course very intense, but you come out feeling like you've learnt a lot.
Spanish course a bit disorganised at times but the opportunity to spend a year and a term abroad is what made Leeds Uni for me.

Personal recommendation
Leeds has solid acadamics and a great nightlife. While the city doesn't have a great wealth of historical interest (such as York, London) it is a great city for young people. It was also nice to be in a city not overrun with tourists. If you love to go clubbing and shopping you will especially love Leeds. I was limited my major and language experinces as to which schools I could attend. If I had the option to do it again I would have enjoyed to study in Ireland or Scotland.

Final comments
Enjoy your time abroad. If you approach it with an open mind it will be a life changing experince. If you go over and compare everything to your home country, you will not have a good time. Just remember the way you do it at home, isn't the only way to do it.
