FUN FACTS:

- The University of Leeds has one single campus, 10-minute walk from the city centre. 

- Leeds is a student city with a vibrant nightlife and music scene. Make sure you go on the Otley Runs, a popular pub crawl for university students in Leeds. If you like rock music, don't miss the Leeds Festival in late August.

- Leeds is home to the Leeds United A. F. C, on which the popular film and book, The Damned United, is based.  

- If you like drinking, enrol in the course FOOD1130/1131 Traditional Alcoholic Beverages (an elective available to exchange students in either semester). You will be visiting breweries/vineyards and sampling beer and wine during class time - definitely one of the best courses at Leeds!
