Leeds Metropolitan University

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 ...
...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 an example, I had an exam which was rescheduled, and I went in to get the time of my exam first thing on Monday morning. ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

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 ...
...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. The university campus at Headingley has helped aid my studies and my university life! A little explanation about the met and its two campuses. There ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

Leeds Met is a former polytechnic university with a good reputation for business and also sport. The sporting facilities are amongst the best in the country and aside from that there are some very reasonably priced and well equipped gyms near the city centre as well. There are a number of good nightclubs around offering some good deals such as Planet Earth on a Wednesday night. There is also an excellent shopping centre with all major chain stores ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

...lot of people go to Leeds met because they didn't get into their first choice. I am one of those students. Everybody looks towards Leeds uni as being 'the' uni in Leeds and that the met is an ex polytechnic and many people don't look at it as a proper university but times are changing and this opinion is too. I am in my second year studying a languages degree and you know, i kind of glad i didn't get into the uni because after i compared the courses, ...
...Now I'm from Leeds originally so I can boast a little about what a great city Leeds is, how there are many individual shops as well as just about every high street shop you can think of. There are about a hundred bars and many clubs to suit every taste. Student nights, R 'n B, house, pop, cheese, hard house, they cater for everything. The main problem that my fellow students living in the student areas have unfortunately encountered is petty crime. ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

...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 ...
...honest i dont know much about the campus in town but if you're doing an academic course maybe you shouldn't be at a met. Leeds Met has a brilliant reputation for PE teachers and when i qualify i'll be in my school with my leeds met kit standing proud :-) ...

Review of Leeds Metropolitan University

[UPDATED*] I came to leeds metropolitan university because, no other university would accept me. When i settled in, i wanted to pay my fees by direct debit (My sister was in leeds university and she paid by direct debit) the school didn't agree on this. Because i was an oversees student, i had to pay £6000. In my first year, i decided to pay half of the money in the first semester, and another half in the second semester. This i did but before i ...
...from the schools solicitors. This happened to me in my second year and i became quite fed up with their system. Are they after money or do they pursue education? NB: They completed a multi million pound complex last summer. You can see why they are charging a ridiculus amount of money. ...
