University of Leeds is very student-friendly and the faculty are highly talented.
Tips: Before joining students should be sure about what course they are going to join and also make sure to do plenty of research about the facilities offered. The university has everything that you need but it is up to the students to decide on what they need and they do not. It is a very good experience and the contacts that you make are really helpful. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): Leeds is a very student-friendly city, with international students from all around the world. Leeds is rated as one of the safest cities in the UK and it feels so too. It is very safe and the amenities are available and easily accessible. The transportation is really good and the city even at night has some kind of life and some people are ready to help you if you are in a tough spot.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a plethora of Indian restaurants in Leeds but there are limited options if you are a vegetarian. The university eatery has a lot of options for non-vegetarian food though and the food is amazing in Leeds. I do cook but also prefer to eat outside at times. The food is slightly on the expensive side if you want to eat out and fancy Indian food, there are multiple Indian and Pakistani stores around from where you can almost get anything you want.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should research the course and modules, location, cost, campus facilities, and placement opportunities. Check the college accreditation in the field you are going to study and the alumni network. The faculty here are very helpful so you can reach out to them. Public transportation is affordable, accessible and convenient so try to explore the city and adapt yourself to the culture. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Satisfied but not worth it
Tips: Limited Indian food joint options, the ones available are pricy. Public transport is unreliable and the university is great, but not value for money according to me. If you are a party person, then Leeds is a good student city with lots of pubs and clubs around.
Likes (Internships): Good opportunities and projects opportunities available which you can sign up for but it is upon you if you make use of that opportunity and take relevant action on time. Nobody is going to spoon-feed you here to get things done. Need to be independent and manage your time, finances and everything else well.
Dislikes (Value for money): Paying 27500 pounds fee which is now in fact 30000+ pounds for the same course is really not worth it. You should find other universities that offer scholarships. QS ranking just seems like a facade to me. Choose any Russell Group university and you should be alright.

Vibrant campus life, world class faculties and academically enriching experience.
Tips: Students should know how to cook because the takeaway or delivery options are costly. The ready-made food available in stores is also limited option-wise. There are fewer options for vegetarian people. The University, faculty and teaching were up to the mark as I expected. The faculty members were approachable and were always there to help. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easy to find. We Indians don't hesitate to put in the work and this is known by the UK employers which is one of the main reasons why Indians can get part-time jobs without difficulty. We just have to look diligently. Plus the pay is also good for the part-time jobs.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to changes made in the visa rules for international candidates, it is next to impossible for international students to secure full-time jobs post-graduation. Most of the companies that offer sponsorship hesitate to pay the salary according to the new visa rules.

The college is great with amazing campus facilities.
Tips: Before joining any college, it is important to research the quality of the course, the expertise of the faculty, and the career opportunities provided by the college. It is equally important to understand the campus culture, the extracurricular activities, and the cost of living in the area. Speaking with current students or alumni can also provide valuable insights into the college experience and any challenges to anticipate. Moving to a new place can be exciting but also overwhelming. You might notice differences in teaching style, social interactions, or even how people spend their free time. For some, it's the food or weather that stands out, while others notice academic expectations or communication style. Adjusting takes time, but participating in campus activities or joining student groups can make the transition smoother. If you're eligible, scholarships can significantly reduce financial stress. To apply, you usually need a strong academic record, extracurricular achievements, or financial need. The allowances vary some cover tuition fees fully or partially, while others include living expenses. It's worth checking the college website or contacting the admissions office for specific options and deadlines. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences here.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well-connected and affordable. Students can get a day bus pass for 5 pounds, which allows them to travel anywhere in the city. The buses run every five minutes, so students can get anywhere they need to go quickly and easily.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The companies offering work visas depend on the country and industry you're targeting. Teaching, healthcare, and finance often have employers open to sponsorship. In some countries, the government maintains a list of companies that regularly sponsor visas. It might feel overwhelming to navigate this, but narrowing it down by region and industry could help. This varies a lot based on your field of study and location. For example, in teaching, roles like software developer or data analyst are in demand, with salaries often reflecting the skill gap. In other fields, you might see entry-level roles that focus on building experience before scaling up in pay.
