    There are 27,000 universities in the world. This year Leeds University is ranked at 86 the QS international tables which brings it within the top one third of one percent of world universities. It is of course a Russell group university. Leeds is also ranked at 52 in the QS world graduate employability rankings.
    The top 100 employers in the UK (ie The High Flyers' report which is viewable online) ) publish an annual ranking of the 20 universities whose graduates they favour most. In the real world this counts for quite a lot more than the often baffling and sometimes downright bizarre national rankings that appear in publications like the Times and the Guardian newspapers (Lancaster and Loughborough universities were consistently placed as top ten universities in the Times national rankings???!!! You have got to be kidding!!!).
    For 2022 the High Flyers' list places Leeds at number 5 out of 120 UK universities for employment appeal. Cambridge is ranked at number 7 and Oxford is ranked at number 10.
    As the biggest centre outside London for banking and legal services Leeds is the wealthiest city in the north of England with upmarket shops, restaurants and cafes. The university has an embracing and safe feeling campus 10 minutes walk from the thriving city centre. On and around the campus there is some lovely architecture and a buzzing social scene.
    Of the UK's 120 universities Leeds falls consistently within the top three for the number of applicants. With an impressive international standing for the quality of its research and a first rate social scene Leeds will always be a serious choice for a great many academically gifted undergraduates and postgraduates. Leeds is also one of the most international universities in the world.

    Hi, I’m starting at leeds in 2021, and was wondering what the best accommodations are if I want an ensuite with a decent social life? A lot of people have said central village for this but I’ve seen lots of reviews saying it’s antisocial, I’ve also looked at montague burton because I can give up the ensuite idea pretty easily and it seems amazing value for money/good location. Which ensuite accommodation would you say are best for what I’m looking for though? Thank you so so much, this video is super useful :)

    • @lolade840
      @lolade840  4 роки тому +6

      Hey! I didn't manage to visit them all but I would say that I would prioritise being close to uni rather than an en-suite. I was in Montague Burton and loved it! (I was in a flat of 9 and we all got on). Like you said though, it was shared bathroom 1 to 3. I would agree with what people said about Central Village - it's close to uni and probably has better facilities than Monty B but I have heard that it's not that social. The thing is, it really depends on your flat - you could have a good time anywhere as long as your flatmates are nice which is unfortunately out of your control! People say that James Bailey is really sociable but it's a little further out. I would say avoid oxley and Liberty Dock because they're really far out! I personally also preferred the accommodations that were off campus, because you didn't feel like you were in uni all the time. I think Monty B offers the best of everything, but I'm probably biased because that's where I was. I hope this was useful :)

    Hi, this was a very useful video. Couple questions- Would you suggest I go for an all girls accommodation or should I pick a mixed gender one? Can’t really choose. Also, I’m unable to fixate on an accommodation as there are so many. I’m looking for en-suite and self catered and something which is social. Looked at Charles and Henry price but heard they are usually oversubscribed but I would prefer one of the two. Do you have any recommendations too, thank you!!

    • @lolade840
      @lolade840  2 роки тому +2

      I can't really choose for you, but if it helps I went for mixed and really enjoyed it! In terms of the Charles Morris v Henry Price, yes both often oversubscribed, but you might as well try for the one you prefer, as you never know!

    Hello , nice video ... my only worry is that I’m of Asian origin and from all the clips and stuff I’ve heard about Leeds is that it’s very very white ethnicity dominated .... will I be frowned upon because I’m Asian or is there a good mix of races ? Thanks

    • @lolade840
      @lolade840  3 роки тому +1

      Hey, that's a valid concern! The university is mostly white (80%) but there are Asians at the university - I've linked the student breakdown from 2019/20 here so you can have a look. equality.leeds.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2020/01/Registered-Student-Breakdown-2019-20.pdf.
      As a black person, I wasn't frowned upon so I would hope that this goes across the board. I hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!

      Hey, valid question! It's not the most diverse uni in the UK for sure, but there are black people. You're unlikely to be the only black student on your course, but the amount will likely differ depending on what course you take (as you can imagine, there are a lot more in medicine/law/engineering than say history) - hope this helps!
