@amandamakesstuff1383 4 года назад

This is so helpful and true!! I’m a second year student at uni of Leeds and agree with everything you’ve said. It’s so important to make an effort and meet new people and to not get too ‘comfortable’ in your flat in the first few weeks bc it might stop you from trying to meet new people! And societies are such a great way of making friends!! I do dance (which I’d never done before so no pressure) and it’s SUCH a good way to have a group of people separate from your course/halls. I did a video in September about freshers week advice and also have lots of vlogs and videos about it if anyone’s thinking of going!! xx

@alexreidy2895 3 года назад

Hi, sorry it’s so late but I’m thinking of putting Leeds as my firm option and I’m a dancer so I’m interested in joining the dance society, how did you find the dance society, I think from my research that there’s multiple different societies but they can be abit confusing xx

@amandamakesstuff1383 3 года назад

@@alexreidy2895 hey! yeah there's looooaaads of dance societies at leeds depending on what kindof dance you do!! I do ballroom&latin (and have a vlog on my channel from one of our competitions if you want to see that) but they all seem to be super welcoming and theres defo something for everyone xx

@@amandamakesstuff1383 thank you, I’ll definitely watch it, I’m more of a ballet contemporary and jazz dancer but ballroom has been something I have loved and always tried to get into, is there classes for beginners? I’ve danced all my life really but never ballroom xx

Currently a home PhD student at Leeds, almost going into my 3rd year (my 2nd year was in lockdown..so not much experience). However, Leeds uni is amazing. The library's, Brotherton, Laidlaw and Edward Boyle are incredible. You have many areas to study, whether in groups or by yourself. Everything is within walking distance! You have bookstores, cafes right across the university not to mention tons of food places! It really is a diverse, student city. The mall is 10 mins walk, you have a cinema there too. Stores usually close at 8pm which is fantastic. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask:)

I think my first choice will be Leeds next summer so this video has really helped me solidify my choice and it’s made me so excited !!!🤪 thank you for this video 💞xx

@cassieyb8381 4 года назад

Watching this makes me want to cry because I miss Leeds so much! I used to be an international student at UoL and did an internship in Leeds but eventually couldn’t stay longer since my student visa expired. Although I lived there for only one and a half years I feel attached to it more than any other city. Everything you mentioned reminds me of my days spent in Leeds especially the easy access to both pubs&clubs and nature. Definitely gonna keep working on getting back there.

just wanted to say as another Leeds student who's just finished her first year, it is possible to stay in the same room / flat throughout your time at the uni! although if you're requesting to stay in the same room, please note that when it comes to existing students they tend to give priority to international students or those who have a defined disability x

I’ve just finished first year too and from nottingham - I feel like leeds is full of people from nottingham! Really agree with everything you said, especially with accommodation and couldn’t be more glad I chose Leeds. I didn’t get my top choice for accommodation (I got Lupton) and before I got there I was really disappointed, but now having been through first year I’m so happy with where I lived (it was really cheap and honestly good value for money) and I couldn’t have asked for better flatmates

@carolynzhao6983 2 года назад

Hi! I would just like to say how inspiring your video is to me! I just got an offer to Leeds last week n I was actl so nervous n excited at the same time as in one angle I would love to experience my uni life in the uk but in another it’s a big challenge for me to leave my hometown. I think it’s basic instinct, that the first moment I got my offer I started scrolling through chinese social media apps to find potential schoolmates and course mates, n I started looking for outside accommodations. Then I noticed, I m gg to the UK, n the main goal of living in another country will be to know about local culture n experience what the locals go through! I started scrolling through youtube (don’t worry I m in somewhere where youtube is allowed) n watching videos on how the locals view the school, tips on the different school accommodations n how to make friends. It sparked light in me regarding the point on opening oneself up n meeting more people. This is something that I hv been telling my friends a lot but I myself forgot about it! Yes, there’s rlly no point in me looking for people who r similar to me or juz stay within that small safety bubble, it might be hard to meet new people at first but I will definitely meet someone if I open myself up and try! After having this thought, I totally ditched the idea of looking for an outside accommodation, I m gonna apply for the school accommodation n try my best to meet as many people as possible in sch n maximise my experience at Leeds. Thank you so much for this video n I m looking forward to meeting new friends in sch!☺️
