The rest of the world really isn't a big fan of the U.S. or Bush right now...but hang it there. Many of them have nothing to base their opinion on because they have never met an American before. Give them a reason to love you and they all will!

Bring an umbrella and go out whenever you can. There is NEVER a shortage of nightlife or great friends.

The students at the University of Leeds are the most amazing I've ever met. They welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home from the minute my jet-lagged butt got there!

Overall
The university of Leeds has a wide variety of course provided by a passionate and engaged staff with total focus on their students. The university campus is integrated into the centre of the city leading to a student experience that combines the experience of living in a bustling and modern city with the convenience of a well organised campus. The student union is large and very ready to provide all sorts of help to any student who has a query. There is also a dizzying array of possible clubs and societies which are key in improving the university experience and making time at Leeds memorable

I wish I had known...
Opening a bank account took time, was rather complicated and dissapointing. As an international student not all bank would offer me anything, some demanded paper I did not have. In the end I used Nat West but they would not give me any internet services, so I had to visit the bank alot and queue and payed all my bills online with my credit card on the companies pages.
Canät think of anything else (but it has been a year since I arrived, much seems hard to overcome when you get there but is soon forgotten :-)

Course recommendations
Professor Bell's lectures are not to miss. Unfortunately I have heard that he is not in Leeds anymore since he is Professor in Oxford now. Criminal law courses are also very interesting

Personal comments
We tried to go to as many places as possible and didn't really do a lot of places twice! But we had a weekly meeting point at the Eldon, every tuesday a lot of intenational students met there, almost all international students knew about that and it made a lot of contacts possible!
