About Leeds
Leeds is a great place to live. It is one of the most exciting and fast growing cities in the UK – but it still has a relaxed and friendly atmosphhere. From its bustling university campuses to the student-friendly bars and cafés of Headingley, the countless student nights that are hosted around town to the annual Leeds Music Festival – student life in Leeds needs to be lived to be fully appreciated.
Student Central
Leeds is internationally recognised as one of the UK’s best university cities. It has a student population of over 200,000, and was voted 'Best university destination in the UK' by The Independent.
Leeds is something of a cultural center too, and the city's students play their part. There are three art-house cinemas, the internationally acclaimed Yorkshire Playhouse and more live music venues than you can shake a stick at.
The city's safe friendly environment, fantactic nightlife and relatively low cost of living make it the ideal location to live and learn. Leeds was recently named 'The most cost effective place to study in Britain' by the RBS Studient Living Index 2007.
