COMPUTING FACILITIES
****************************
I would say that one of the strengths of Leeds University is its number of computer clusters. It has absolutely loads! There are 29 clusters currently provided by ISS (the university's computer network people) with over 1600 computers between them. I am currently sat in a rather large cluster with many, many ...
...their unions. The one at Leeds is the largest one I have seen. It has pretty much everything you could want.

Every year, they update the union at least a little bit, and add new facilities, so if you read my review in a year or so, it might have changed.

Right now, there is the "Essentials" shop, where you can buy practically anything you need, from apples to chocolate bars to newspapers and magazines to ... more

The latest on Leeds

Advantages: Excellent Atmosphere
Disadvantages: Too many students and not enough facilities

...current second year student at Leeds University i thought i would share my opinions and experiences of this university with you. Leeds is now the most popular choice for undergraduates and has the largest number of undergraduate applications in the UK. With over 23,000 undergraduates alone, Leeds is an excellent place to study. When deciding on which university to attend I had certain things I was looking for and so I thought I’d write this opinion ...
...such as Henry price. Leeds has areas near the university (hyde park, headingly) which are the main student areas, and this is sometimes a problem as in the holidays whole streets of houses will be empty and are often burgled! Where i and the majority of other students rent our houses is not a very nice area, the style of housing is old terrace houses with backstreets which are always full of rubbish! (although now we have been provided with wheelie ...

GO Leeds

Advantages: Reputation, quality of facilities,sports and nightlife
Disadvantages: Expensive accommodation

...have been a student at Leeds University for 5 years now, and have experienced it both as an undergraduate and as a postgraduate student. So, I should have a good feel for the place by now!! I took my degree in Geophysics in the Earth Sciences Department, and then stayed on to do a PhD working on volcanic earthquakes. Leeds University is one of the old red brick Universities, which received investment from the local textile industry to help it expand ...
...you access to all the Leeds sports facilities for either a reduced fee or for free. I have ususally made my money back within a month. The university has a 2 sports centres, the main Sports Centre and the Cromer Terrace Gym. It also owns playing fields to the north of the city, at Weetwood. This is some of what you get for your £30: Weetwood Playing Fields: Sports clubs use these playing fields to practice and hold matchs. They are free to use. ...

A Degree In Life

Advantages: friendly, cheap, good facilities
Disadvantages: crime

...finished my second year at Leeds uni so it must be about time to share my experiences with you, my adoring public, well maybe. I'm currently studying energy engineering, don't bother asking what it is as I don't really know myself, maybe I should sort that out soon... Anyway, my building is probably the worst on campus, being rather dark and cold, but most of the others, especially the newer ones such as the health science building are all decorated ...
...be viewed from all over Leeds as it is on a hill, and is the first glimpse you get of the uni as you drive in along the M62. The rest of the university is centred around the students union, which has just had a multi-million pound extension and refurbishment, adding some more bars, shops and a club big enough for touring bands to play at. This is in addition to the Old bar which is remaining in the basement, where many an afternoon can be spent marvelling ...

Long Live Leeds

Advantages: A fantastic, fun place to be
Disadvantages: You have to leave when you finish your course!

...opinion on the University of Leeds for a while so I thought I would share mine with you. I began my study at Leeds in October 1990 (yes, that long ago!) but I'm sure it hasn't changed much and I would imagine it's only changed for the better. When we arrived (I was lucky enough to have a friend from school on the same course) we quickly found our accomodation began to get acclimatised after being welcomed and given lots of information on what lay ...
...- something every night in Leeds and also the surrounding area (Bradford, Sheffield, Halifax) if you don't mind travelling now and again. There are loads of pubs around the university, some specifically catering for students, if it's just a drink you are after. Shopping... well that was fantastic too (have you guessed I loved it yet?), I only wish there had been Harvey Nick's in the early nineties... perhaps it's just as well that there wasn't! ...

Shoes, Booze and Lots of Flooze!!!!!!!

Advantages: Shopping, Drinking and Partying Hard
Disadvantages: Crime, Expensive and Traffic

I've been studying in Leeds for almost 2 years now, doing a degree in Medical Sciences. Leeds, the City Leeds has the best of everything, great restaurants, bars, clubs and shops! The cheapest nights are the ones us students enjoy the most, so here’s a quick list of a few of the cheapest bars and clubs in Leeds: - The Dry Dock - a bar that’s in a canal barge in the middle of a dual carriageway! It’s a yellow card pub, just opposite the MET and ...
...The Fenton - situated between Leeds Uni and Leeds MET on the main road, this pub is excellent mid-week. If you go in the day they do fab food which is cheap and cheerful and the drinks aren't over-priced either! It’s just a nice little pub, great for daytime lunching. Courtyard - a bar/club which is best avoided at weekends due to the drinks being extortionate!!!! However, on Tuesday nights, it’s just a couple of quid to get in and drinks offers ...

what uni did you go to?

Advantages: amazing reputation for teacher
Disadvantages: very hard to get on a PGCE- u gotta be good

I'm not sure what university you've been to but it's not the Leeds Met that im at! I am in my third year of a Secondary PE teaching, (by the way Headingley campus is for sport and education) and it is fantastic. The course tutors are always in touch via e-mail or free so you can pop into their office. For the bloke that said lectures are cancelled re-sheduled etc, did you have extreme?? The facilities are unmatched- with the astro, track, tennis hall etc. The only downside is that the swimming pool is pretty poor and im a swimmer. I think the guy who said you need poor qualifications to apply should try getting on a PGCE course, you are expected to get a 2:1 or ablove along with coaching qualifications, teaching expereince and interview very well....not easy!! To be honest i dont know much about the campus in town but if you ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

Get Youself 'Studying' @ the Met

Advantages: Superb Sport Facilities, Amazing NIght life and amazing friends
Disadvantages: End of my uni life!

I came to Leeds Met to study sport and exercise science in 2002. I was attracted to the sports facilities and the relaxing setting of the headingley campus- buildings set surrounding an acre of grassland- really picturesque. Some people say that they come to Leeds Met beacuse they do not get into their first choice university, this for me was rubbish! i turned down an unconditional offer at loughbrough to study sports science here and i have not looked back since. Since I am graduating this year I feel that it is important to share my experiences of uni life and leeds met as a whole. This uni is reccommended A*! I quite fancied Leeds anyway and as far as the city goes beacuse i had been on numerous shopping trips to the city and as far as helping you to spend your student loan on clothes and socialising I haven't been disappointed ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

Eee by gum it's the Met...

Advantages: Low grades required, excellent city
Disadvantages: Poor IT lecturers, lack of information for students

I came to Leeds Met to study computing for one reason - because no one else would have me! I did one of those GNVQ thingys which most Uni's wouldn't accept at the time. I quite fancied Leeds anyway and as far as the city goes I haven't been disappointed. The university is a different matter though. Allow me to explain how the Met works. There are two campuses, roughly 3 miles apart. The one in the city centre is right near the 'proper' university and handles lots of courses. The one in Headingley is for computing, sports and some others like business. Its a lovely setting, with the computing building being a converted farmhouse where Oscar Wilde stayed, and lush green lawns and trees everywhere. Unfortunately the course I am on and the lecturers let the side down. For starters, we are never told anything which goes on. I'll give ...
