Elouise: University of Leeds, Semester 1, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the moment I submitted my exchange application, right up until I hopped off the train at Leeds station I was unsure if I had made the correct decision and picked the right university\/ destination. But boy am I glad that I picked Leeds, what a city!!! Although not a top tourist destination for many (even for the British), Leeds is such a liveable city especially for students. Almost everything is catered to students. There are student prices and discounts, student nights, student real estate agents, student everything!<\/p>\n

\"Leeds<\/a>

There are so many great little bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants all through Leeds. For<\/p>\n

\"Leeds<\/a>
Leeds City Markets – Best for cheap groceries!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

quirky pubs and bars there is Call Lane which is lined with anything and everything you could want. There are also a lot of places that do live music gigs, one of my personal favourites is Belgrave Beer Hall<\/strong>. They also have some of the best pizza in Leeds!<\/p>\n

And of course your time in Leeds would not be complete without experiencing\u00a0the infamous Otley Run, at least once.\u00a0This is a pub crawl that runs from\u00a0Headingly\u00a0down Otley Road toward the\u00a0Uni and the\u00a0city.\u00a0If you join any clubs, teams or societies you will definitely be dragged along to an Otley run. The university halls also do their own Otley’s throughout the year. But they are a great way to meet people, get to know new friends and also discover the best pubs Leeds has to offer.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t tell you everything, and there is plenty left to discover, but I will say this, Leeds will definitely provide you with the best night out. Leeds also has some fantastic shopping, the city is filled with large shopping centres \u2013 the most impressive is Trinity Leeds, which also has a great food hall in it full of street food and food stalls.<\/p>\n
