\nLeeds University, UK<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leeds University is built on-top of a mountain that looks over the town. It is known to be one of the prestigious universities of England known as the Red Brick Universities. Don\u2019t let this fool you. It\u2019s very much a community, with teachers and academics giving you insight into the living and academics of the institution.<\/p>\n

Here, the teachers do throw you in the deep-end. But if you have a level-head ask a lot questions and confer with your tutor teacher specifically tasked with helping your academic needs, you will have a great time. The assignments are much larger than QUT which is around 2500 \u2013 5000 words, so be prepared for more rigorous researching and studying which you can do at three separate libraries on campus, the Laidlaw, Brotherton and Parkinson libraries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Brotherton Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The campus has numerous dorms surrounding it. I stayed in Storm Jameson Court West that was considered the ritzy part of campus, I did not know this at the time. I only wanted a place with an ensuite bathroom. It was a gated complex with its own reception area with two computers, multiple desk areas for work and a free pool table. It made it very fun in with roommates late at night with a cup of hot cocoa.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed my time here at the dorm, I was on a floor with seven other occupants, one a friend of mine from QUT which made the trying times without vegemite that much easier to complain about. I had three fellow roommates from the New York City \/ State area, a Nigerian, and one Londoner who accompanied me on so many journeys around Leeds and the places surrounding such as York, which was magnificent with its old castle wall and cathedrals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Just some of the friends you will make on exchange<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The U.K has so much to offer and so does Leeds University, it is situated in the heart of a town where it is built around student life. Any student will have fun here studying. The dorm life is what you\u2019ll remember, have long chats into the night with fellow strangers as you turn into family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
