Collection 100 - Opinions


Good city, quite young and vibrant. Big arts culture probably due to students and such. It seems to becoming more and more popular, used to think of manchester as main city in the north but think leeds is up there now. Big music scene.. good city. Awful rugby team though.

Hilly, greggs-loving and expensive.

I love Leeds. It's really diverse and there's plenty of things to do. It's very student friendly and the night life is pretty good.. and the shopping too. I don't like the hills but I guess it's good exercise. When I go back to cambridge the skyline looks so empty as there isn't any big buildings like Leeds. The uni's great too!

Some of the towns are a disgrace, rubbish everywhere and people don't seem to care.  Last week a group of youths decided to set a car on fire right outside our house too.  Everyones experiences will be different, some will be lucky and some won't... But If you're going to move here try and stick to places like Roundhay.. the city is decent for a visit, but not to live.

I think that leeds is a great place for students, especially art students as it has a lot of galleries and cultural events. I also think that it is safe and quiet for a city but there's loads of hills which is rather annoying as it's quicker to walk everywhere than drive or get the bus.. plus there'd be nowhere to park anyway. I love Leeds plus northerners are well 'ard like so I'm lovin it yeh.

Leeds is an amazing place to live, the nightlife and the shopping are really good and everyone is really friendly. Even though i've not lived here very long it's definitely a second home already ! I also love all the culture and amazing buildings that you can find in Leeds, such a good city.

Leeds is a great Northern city thats full of life and excitement. From day to night, Leeds has it all. It's especially good for students as it has an array of Higher and further education options available.

I always thought leeds was gonna be like any other major city but as i've settled in i've really started to feel at home here. Theres always loads of stuff going on and it feels great to be part of a city where there is a student population of 200,000! I have to say im not a fan of the wind or rain, but I love the rest of the city and more so the people who i've met here - besides the "pesky" tramps and pervy men!

Great for all demographics of people, because it has everything from Primark to Louis Vuitton. Student friendly but big enough to not make it feel overcrowded with just students unlike other unis like Durham etc.

I love leeds as a place because its so student friendly and theres lots to do. The only downside is it's so easy to get lost in the car if you're not familiar with it!

Leeds is a great city. The city centre has excellent bars restaurants and shopping however it also has some very good suburbs too. I lived in Chapel Allerton which although a bit expensive has excellent bars shops etc and a vibrant feel about it. There are decent bus services into the city centre and is only a short taxi ride home on a night out!

I live in leeds but some parts of it are a bit rough. There is shopping, leeds festival and loads more!
- Olivia

I like how friendly and approachable leeds people are and how intimate it still feels in a big city because people are so friendly. However, I don't like the weather; probably because I'm a southerner and I don't have thick skin like you guys, I feel the cold!
