Sure, in the pool of the many Universities of England there\u2019s quite certainly stiff competition, however, I can truly say without a slither of a doubt that the University of Leeds out-<strong>lives<\/strong> them all (emphasis on the live). It truly is a lively student city and University, with an incredibly exciting and infamous nightlife (I really cannot emphasise this enough &#8211; a quick google search on it will back me up), with one of the largest student unions in the UK (Leeds University Union); complete with its own nightclub, caf\u00e9, bars and over 300 clubs and societies (with almost everything you can think of \u2013 honestly, I challenge you to look at their website and NOT find something of interest), to its impressive intake of international students through its exchange program.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-7860 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-cheerup-main'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/08\/1-e1566956136414.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"387\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/08\/1-e1566956136414.jpg\" class=\"attachment-cheerup-main size-cheerup-main\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/08\/1-e1566956136414.jpg 614w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/08\/1-e1566956136414-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h4>Study<\/h4>\n<p>Like QUT, the University of Leeds has an impressive and broad catalogue of disciplines to study.

Most classes took a roll to record attendance. If you missed a certain amount of classes without notifying the University of your absences, you would receive an email to check on your well-being and to acknowledge these missed classes \u2013 occasionally there are some classes that are more relaxed on attendance, which was the case with some of my peers &#8211; but unfortunately not with me<\/li>\n<li>Most subjects averaged only two pieces of assessment per semester (usually split 50%\/50% or 40%\/60%) \u2013 unlike QUT\u2019s averaged three pieces of assessment (again, this is in my experience)<\/li>\n<li>Pass grade is 40% (YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT), however, it is harder to achieve a higher grade due to the starting point for satisfactory being lower (thus adjusting the rest of the scale)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>University campus and accommodation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The UOL Campus is the perfect mix of old and new.

I have included some general tips that come to the top of my head for those of you considering the University of Leeds (honestly, do it, you won\u2019t regret it!)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For the love of all things wholesome; attend every social event you can in the first 2 weeks! No matter how awkward it is, in these events you will meet your exchange friends and family (you will also find yourself laughing about these first two weeks later down the line to these people, so don\u2019t worry about being awkward and venturing outside your comfort zone \u2013 as clich\u00e9 as this saying is: EVERYBODY IS IN THE SAME BOAT \u2013 you will hear this a million times, trust me)<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t be afraid to reach out to people you meet &#8211; for simple things like grabbing a coffee after class etc, the UOL has such a large exchange program, there is like-minded people for everyone<\/li>\n<li>Try to get your assessment done before the breaks or weekends, Leeds is an incredibly vibrant city and the nightlife is unlike anywhere else, so don\u2019t spend it inside studying (Oops, did I say that out-loud? I mean, study hard kids!)<\/li>\n<li>While I never ended up joining a LUU society due to all my spare time taken travelling\/socialising (I did attend many give-it-a-go sessions) I know many others that did join societies and loved them, I encourage you to take a look at the University of Leeds Union website and trying out a few or joining as this is often where you meet English students aside from classes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I can honestly say that some of the best experiences I\u2019ve had were through my exchange at the University of Leeds, and if you have any doubts (perfectly reasonable), take the plunge and apply. I\u2019ve met so many faces and personalities through this exchange, and I\u2019m yet to meet anyone who\u2019s had second thoughts on their choice: you honestly won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris &#8211; University of Leeds, England Semester 1, 2019 Bachelor of Entertainment Industries Some things that may spring to mind is Yorkshire pudding, a love of FOOTBALL (or soccer as we Australians call it), its surrounding countryside and fields, its slightly underdog attitude to things and THAT Yorkshire accent (yes we all know it, and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1513,"featured_media":8467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5280,5246,12000],"tags":[11981,12000],"class_list":{"0":"post-7860","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-england","8":"category-europe","9":"category-leeds","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-leeds"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
